One mole of helium is adiabatically expanded from its initial state $({P_i}, {V_i}, {T_i})$ to its final state $({P_f}, {V_f}, {T_f})$. The decrease in the internal energy associated with this expansion is equal to

  • A
    ${C_V}({T_i} - {T_f})$
  • B
    ${C_P}({T_i} - {T_f})$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}({C_P} + {C_V})({T_i} - {T_f})$
  • D
    $({C_P} - {C_V})({T_i} - {T_f})$

$A$ small spherical monoatomic ideal gas bubble $\left(\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\right)$ is trapped inside a liquid of density $\rho_{\ell}$ (see figure). Assume that the bubble does not exchange any heat with the liquid. The bubble contains $n$ moles of gas. The temperature of the gas when the bubble is at the bottom is $T_0$, the height of the liquid is $H$ and the atmospheric pressure is $P_0$ (Neglect surface tension).
$1.$ As the bubble moves upwards, besides the buoyancy force, the following forces are acting on it:
$(A)$ Only the force of gravity
$(B)$ The force due to gravity and the force due to the pressure of the liquid
$(C)$ The force due to gravity, the force due to the pressure of the liquid, and the force due to viscosity of the liquid
$(D)$ The force due to gravity and the force due to viscosity of the liquid
$2.$ When the gas bubble is at a height $y$ from the bottom, its temperature is:
$(A)$ $T_0\left(\frac{P_0+\rho_{\ell} gH}{P_0+\rho_{\ell} gy}\right)^{2 / 5}$
$(B)$ $T_0\left(\frac{P_0+\rho_{\ell} g(H-y)}{P_0+\rho_{\ell} g H}\right)^{2 / 5}$
$(C)$ $T_0\left(\frac{P_0+\rho_{\ell} gH}{P_0+\rho_{\ell} gy}\right)^{3 / 5}$
$(D)$ $T_0\left(\frac{P_0+\rho_{\ell} g(H-y)}{P_0+\rho_{\ell} g H}\right)^{3 / 5}$
$3.$ The buoyancy force acting on the gas bubble is (Assume $R$ is the universal gas constant):
$(A)$ $\rho_{\ell} nRgT_0 \frac{\left(P_0+\rho_{\ell} gH\right)^{2 / 5}}{\left(P_0+\rho_{\ell} gy\right)^{7 / 5}}$
$(B)$ $\frac{\rho_{\ell} nRgT_0}{\left(P_0+\rho_{\ell} gH\right)^{2 / 5}\left[P_0+\rho_{\ell} g(H-y)\right]^{3 / 5}}$
$(C)$ $\rho_{\ell} nRgT_0 \frac{\left(P_0+\rho_{\ell} g H\right)^{3 / 5}}{\left(P_0+\rho_{\ell} g(H-y)\right)^{8 / 5}}$
$(D)$ $\frac{\rho_{\ell} nRgT_0}{\left(P_0+\rho_{\ell} gH\right)^{3 / 5}\left[P_0+\rho_{\ell} g(H-y)\right]^{2 / 5}}$
Give the answer for questions $1, 2,$ and $3.$

$A$ gas has pressure $P$ and volume $V$. If the gas is compressed adiabatically to $\frac{1}{32}$ of its initial volume,what will be the new pressure? (Given: $(32)^{1.4} = 128$)

During an adiabatic process, the pressure is proportional to the cube of the temperature. Then ${C_p}/{C_v}$ is . . . . . . .

An ideal gas $(\gamma = 1.5)$ is expanded adiabatically. To reduce the root mean square velocity of molecules two times, the gas should be expanded (in $\times$)
