An ideal gas with pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to volume $2V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2V$ then the final pressure is $P_a$. In terms of $\gamma$, the ratio of the two specific heats for the gas, the ratio $P_i/P_a$ is

Two moles of monoatomic gas is expanded from $(P_0, V_0)$ to $(P_0, 2V_0)$ under isobaric condition. Let $\Delta Q_1$,$\Delta W_1$,and $\Delta U_1$ be the heat given to the gas,the work done by the gas,and the change in internal energy,respectively. Now,the monoatomic gas is replaced by a diatomic gas,with other conditions remaining the same. The corresponding values in this case are $\Delta Q_2$,$\Delta W_2$,and $\Delta U_2$. Then:

If one mole of an ideal gas at $(P_{1}, V_{1})$ is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally ($A$ to $B$),its pressure is reduced to one-half of the original pressure (see figure). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value $(B \rightarrow C)$. Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression ($C$ to $A$). The net work done by the gas is equal to ...... .

Six moles of an ideal gas perform a cycle shown in the figure. If the temperatures are $T_A = 600\, K,$ $T_B = 800\, K,$ $T_C = 2200\, K,$ and $T_D = 1200\, K,$ then the work done per cycle is approximately ...... $kJ$.
