An ideal gas at initial temperature $T_0$ and initial volume $V_0$ is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2 V_0$. The gas is then expanded isothermally to a volume $5 V_0$ and thereafter compressed adiabatically so that the temperature of the gas becomes again $T_0$. If the final volume of the gas is $\alpha V_0$, then the value of constant $\alpha$ is

  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$

Three processes compose a thermodynamic cycle shown in the $PV$ diagram. Process $1\rightarrow 2$ takes place at constant temperature. Process $2\rightarrow 3$ takes place at constant volume,and process $3\rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic. During the complete cycle,the total amount of work done is $10\,J$. During process $2\rightarrow 3$,the internal energy decreases by $20\,J$ and during process $3\rightarrow 1$,$20\,J$ of work is done on the system. How much heat is added to the system during process $1\rightarrow 2$ (in $,J$)?

The efficiency of the cycle shown in the figure (consisting of one isobar,one adiabat,and one isotherm) is $50 \%$. The ratio $x$ between the highest and lowest temperatures attained in this cycle obeys (the working substance is an ideal gas):

Thermodynamic processes are indicated in the following diagram. Match the following:
Column-$1$Column-$2$
$P$: Process-$I$$A$: Adiabatic

Carbon monoxide is carried around a closed cycle $abc$ in which $bc$ is an isothermal process as shown in the figure. The gas absorbs $7000 \; J$ of heat as its temperature increases from $300 \; K$ to $1000 \; K$ in going from $a$ to $b$. The quantity of heat rejected by the gas during the process $ca$ is ..... $J$. (in $; J$)

There are two samples $A$ and $B$ of a certain gas,which are initially at the same temperature and pressure. Both are compressed from volume $V$ to $\frac{V}{2}$. Sample $A$ is compressed isothermally while sample $B$ is compressed adiabatically. The final pressure of $A$ is
