  • A
    $W_i=W_a > 0$
  • B
    $W_i > W_{a} > 0$
  • C

An ideal gas at pressure $P_0$ undergoes an isothermal expansion until its volume is $8.0$ times its initial volume. The gas is slowly and adiabatically compressed back to its original volume. If the adiabatic constant of the gas is $\gamma = 4/3$, then the ratio of the average kinetic energy per molecule in this final state to that in the initial state is

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain an equal amount of an ideal diatomic gas at temperature $T$ $K$. The piston of cylinder $A$ is free to move,while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $dT_{A}$,then the rise in temperature of the gas in cylinder $B$ is (where $\gamma = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$):

$A$ sample of an ideal gas is taken through the cyclic process $ABCA$ as shown in the figure. It absorbs $40 \ J$ of heat during the part $AB$,no heat during $BC$,and rejects $60 \ J$ of heat during $CA$. $A$ work of $50 \ J$ is done on the gas during the part $BC$. The internal energy of the gas at $A$ is $1560 \ J$. The work done by the gas during the part $CA$ is.............$J$.
