This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

pV1/2= constant

P=k/ V

Work done from 1 to 2

W= ∫ V 1 V 2 p d V = K ∫ V 1 V 2 d V V = k V 1 2 V 1 V 2 = 2 K V 2 - V 1

from ideal equation = pV=nRT

T= pV/nR= p V V n R

T= K V n R

T1= K V 1 n R , T1= K V 2 n R

T 1 T 2 = k V 1 n R k V 2 n R = V 1 V 2 = V 1 2 V 1 = 1 2

U= 3 2 R T

? U = U 2 - U 1 = 3 2 R T 1 - T 2

= 3 2 RT1( V - 1 )

? W =2p1V11/2( V 2 - V 2 )

 = 2p1V11/2(2 V 1 - V 1 )

 = 2p1V1( 2 - 1 )= 2RT1( 2 - 1 )

? Q = ? U + ? W

= 3 2 RT1( 2 - 1 )+ 2RT1( 2 - 1 )

= 7 2 R T 1 ( 2 - 1 )

Temperature inside the refrigerator,  T1 = 9 ?  = 9 + 273 K = 282 K

Room temperature,  T2 = 36 ?  = 36 + 273 = 309 K

Coefficient of performance = T1T2-T1 = 282309-282 = 10.44

Therefore, the coefficient of performance is 10.44

Total work done by the gas from D to E to F = Area of ? DEF = 12 EF ×DF

Where DF = Change in pressure = 600 – 300 = 300 N/ m2

FE = change in volume = 5-2 = 3 m3

Area of ? DEF= 12× 3 ×300 = 450 J

Therefore work done by the gas from D to E to F is 450 J.

Heat is supplied to the system at a rate of 100W

Hence, heat supplied, Q = 100 J/s

The system performs at the rate of 75 J/s

Hence, work done, W = 75 J/s

From the 1st law of Thermodynamics, we have Q = U + W, where U is the internal energy

U = Q – W = 100 – 75 = 25 J/s = 25 W

Therefore the internal energy

Work done by the steam engine per minute, W = 5.4 ×108 J

Heat supplied by the boiler, H = 3.6 ×109 J

Efficiency of the engine,  η = OutputenergyInputenergy = 5.4×1083.6×109 = 0.15

Amount of heat wasted = Input energy – Output energy

= 3.6 ×109- 5.4 ×108=3.06×109 J

The work done, W = 22.3 J

Being an adiabatic process,  ?  Q = 0

?  W = -22.3 J : since the work is done on the system

From the 1st law of thermodynamics, we know ?  Q = ? U+ ?  W, where ? U is the change of internal energy of the gas

?  U = 22.3 J

When the gas goes f

The cylinder is completely insulated from its surroundings. As a result, no heat is exchanged between the system (cylinder) and its surroundings. Thus the process is ‘Adiabatic’.

Let the initial and final pressure inside the cylinder be P1 & P2 and volume be V1 &
