The initial pressure and volume of a gas are $P$ and $V$ respectively. First, it is expanded isothermally to a volume $4V$ and then compressed adiabatically to a volume $V$. The final pressure of the gas will be (given $\gamma = 3/2$): (in $P$)

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $4$

$A$ gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure $P_i = 10^5 \text{ Pa}$ and volume $V_i = 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3$ changes to a final state at $P_f = (1/32) \times 10^5 \text{ Pa}$ and $V_f = 8 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}^3$ in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that $P^3 V^5 = \text{constant}$. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at $P_i$, followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volume $V_f$. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately: (in $\text{ J}$)

In Column-$I$ devices and in Column-$II$ efficiency are given. Match them appropriately:
Column-$I$ Column-$II$
$(a)$ Heat engine $(i)$ $\eta = \frac{Q_2}{Q_1 - Q_2}$
$(b)$ Heat pump $(ii)$ $\eta = \frac{Q_1 - Q_2}{Q_1}$
$(iii)$ $\eta = \frac{T_1 - T_2}{T_1}$

$A$ certain amount of gas is taken through a cyclic process $(A-B-C-D-A)$ that has two isobars, one isochore, and one isothermal process. The cycle can be represented on a $P-V$ indicator diagram as:
