Consider two containers $A$ and $B$ containing monoatomic gases at the same Pressure $(P)$,Volume $(V)$ and Temperature $(T)$. The gas in $A$ is compressed isothermally to $\frac{1}{8}$ of its original volume while the gas $B$ is compressed adiabatically to $\frac{1}{8}$ of its original volume. The ratio of final pressure of gas in $B$ to that of gas in $A$ is ...........

  • A
    $8$
  • B
    $8^{\frac{3}{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{8}$
  • D
    $4$

What are thermodynamic processes?

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:

$A$ given mass of a gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled. It is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its original volume is restored and its pressure is then found to be $0.75$ of its initial pressure. The ratio of the specific heats of the gas is approximately:

Three moles of an ideal monatomic gas perform a cycle $ABCDA$ as shown in the figure. The temperatures of the gas at the states $A, B, C$ and $D$ are $400 \, K, 800 \, K, 2400 \, K$ and $1200 \, K$, respectively. The work done by the gas during this cycle is ($R$ is the universal gas constant). (in $R$)

Choose the incorrect statement from the following:
$S1$: The efficiency of a heat engine can be $1$,but the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator can never be infinity.
$S2$: The first law of thermodynamics is basically the principle of conservation of energy.
$S3$: The second law of thermodynamics does not allow several phenomena consistent with the first law.
$S4$: $A$ process,whose sole result is the transfer of heat from a colder to a hotter object,is impossible.
