The relation between efficiency $(\eta)$ of a Carnot engine and the coefficient of performance $(\beta)$ of a refrigerator working between the same temperatures is:

What is the specific heat of a gas in an isothermal process and an adiabatic process?

Two containers $A$ and $B$ contain equal volumes of an identical gas at the same pressure and temperature. The gas in container $A$ is compressed to half its original volume isothermally,while the gas in container $B$ is compressed to half its original volume adiabatically. The ratio of the final pressure of gas in container $B$ to that of gas in container $A$ is

Consider that an ideal gas ($n$ moles) is expanding in a process given by $P = f(V)$,which passes through a point $(V_0, P_0)$. Show that the gas is absorbing heat at $(P_0, V_0)$ if the slope of the curve $P = f(V)$ is larger than the slope of the adiabatic curve passing through $(P_0, V_0)$.

In the $P-V$ diagram shown,the gas does $5 \, J$ of work in the isothermal process $ab$ and $4 \, J$ of work in the adiabatic process $bc$. What will be the change in internal energy of the gas in the straight path $c$ to $a$ (in $, J$)?
