Explanation:
Work = Area of ABCD = (2P0)(V0)
Qin = QAB + QBC
QAB = isochoric process
= nCV(TB - TA)
= 1 $ \times $ ${3 \over 2}R\left( {{T_B} - {T_A}} \right)$
= ${3 \over 2}R\left( {{{3{P_0}{V_0}} \over R} - {{{P_0}{V_0}} \over R}} \right)$
= 3P0V0
QBC = isobaric process
= nCP$\Delta $T
= $1 \times {5 \over 2}R$(TC - TB)
= ${5 \over 2}R\left( {{{6{P_0}{V_0}} \over R} - {{3{P_0}{V_0}} \over R}} \right)$
= 7.5 P0V0
$ \therefore $ $\eta $ = ${{{2{P_0}{V_0}} \over {3{P_0}{V_0} + 7.5{P_0}{V_0}}}}$ $ \times $ 100
$ \simeq $ 19%
Explanation:
$ \therefore $ P1V1 = nR (250)
and P2(2V1) = ${{5n} \over 4}R \times \left( {2000} \right)$
By Dividing
${{{P_1}} \over {2{P_2}}}$ = ${{4 \times 250} \over {5 \times 2000}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{{P_1}} \over {{P_2}}} = {1 \over 5}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{{P_2}} \over {{P_1}}} = 5$
(Molar mass of N2 gas 28 g).
Explanation:
VN2 = $\sqrt {{{3R(573)} \over 28}} $
VH2 = $\sqrt {{{3RT} \over 2}} $
Given, VN2 = VH2
$\sqrt {{{3RT} \over 2}} $ = $\sqrt {{{3R(573)} \over 28}} $
$ \Rightarrow $ ${T \over 2} = {{573} \over {28}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ T = 41 K
If |$\Delta $T| = C|$\Delta $P| then value of C in (K/atm.) is _________.
Explanation:
$ \therefore $ $P\Delta V + V\Delta P = 0$ (for constant temp.)
and $P\Delta V$ = $nR\Delta T$ (for constant pressure)
$\Delta T = {{P\Delta V} \over {nR}}$
$\Delta P = - {{P\Delta V} \over V}$ ($\Delta V$ is same in both cases)
${{\Delta T} \over {\Delta P}} = {{P\Delta V} \over {nR}}{V \over { - P\Delta V}} = {{ - V} \over {nR}} = - {T \over P}$
[As PV = nRT
$ \Rightarrow $ $ {{V \over {nR}} = {T \over P}} $]
$ \therefore $ $\left| {{{\Delta T} \over {\Delta P}}} \right| = \left| {{{ - 300} \over 2}} \right| = 150$
Explanation:
$ \therefore $ Total internal energy of gases remain same.
u1 + u2 = u1' + u2'
We know, $\Delta $U = nCv$\Delta $T
$ \therefore $ $\left( {0.1 \times {{3R} \over 2} \times 200} \right) + \left( {0.05 \times {{3R} \over 2} \times 400} \right)$ = $\left( {0.15 \times {{3R} \over 2} \times {T_f}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow $ (20 + 20) = 0.15 Tf
$ \Rightarrow $ Tf = 266.67
Explanation:

Q2 = W + Q1
Coefficient of performance (C.O.P)
$ = {{{Q_1}} \over W} = {{{Q_1}} \over {{Q_2} - {Q_1}}} = {{{T_1}} \over {{T_2} - {T_1}}}$
${{{Q_1}} \over W} = {{273} \over {300 - 273}}$
${{{Q_1}} \over W} = {{273} \over {27}}$
$W = {{27} \over {273}}{Q_1}$
$W = {{27} \over {273}}mL$
$W = {{27} \over {273}} \times 80 \times 100$
${Q_2} = {{27} \over {273}} \times 80 \times 100 + 80 \times 100$
$ = 8791.2$ cal
Explanation:
$ \therefore $ V1$\gamma $1 = V2$\gamma $2
$ \Rightarrow $ 500 $ \times $ 6 $ \times $ 10-6 = Vm $ \times $ 1.5 $ \times $ 10-4
$ \Rightarrow $ Vm = ${{500 \times 6 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}} \over {1.5 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ Vm = 20 cc
Explanation:
f = 5
$\gamma $ = ${7 \over 5}$
Ti = T = 273 + 20 = 293 K
Vi = V
Vf = ${V \over {10}}$
For adiabatic process TV$\gamma $ - 1 = constant
${T_1}V_1^{\gamma - 1} = {T_2}V_2^{\gamma - 1}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\left( {293} \right){V^{{7 \over 5} - 1}} = {T_2}{\left( {{V \over {10}}} \right)^{{7 \over 5} - 1}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${T_2} = 293 \times {\left( {10} \right)^{{2 \over 5}}}$
$\Delta $U = ${{nfR\left( {{T_2} - {T_1}} \right)} \over 2}$
= ${{5 \times 5 \times {{25} \over 3} \times \left( {{{293.10}^{{2 \over 5}}} - 293} \right)} \over 2}$
= ${{625 \times 293 \times \left( {{{10}^{{2 \over 5}}} - 1} \right)} \over 6}$
= 46.14 $ \times $ 103 J
$ \simeq $ 46 kJ
ideal diatomic gas ($\gamma $ = 1.4) is first compressed
adiabatically from volume V1 to V2 = ${{{V_1}} \over {16}}$. It is
then allowed to expand isobarically to volume 2V2. If all the processes are the quasi-static then
the final temperature of the gas (in oK) is (to the nearest integer) _____.
Explanation:
$300 \times {V^{{7 \over 5} - 1}} = {T_2}{\left( {{V \over {16}}} \right)^{{7 \over 5} - 1}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ T2 = 300 × (16)0.4
Isobaric process
V = ${{nRT} \over P}$
V2 = kT2... (1)
2V 2 = KTf... (2)
Tf = 2T2 = 300 × 2 × (16)0.4 = 1818 K
The value of $\theta $ (in °C to the nearest integer) is ..........
Explanation:
Applying law of calorimetry
1(T1 – 60) + 2(T2 – 60) = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ T1 + 2T2 = 180 ....(1)
1(T2 – 30) + 2(T3 – 30) = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ T2 + 2T3 = 90 ......(2)
2(T1 – 60) + 1(T3 – 60) = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ 2T1 + T3 = 180 .....(3)
from (1), (2), (3)
T1 = 80o C
T2 = 50o C
T3 = 20o C
1 × (T1 – $\theta $) + 1 ×(T2 – $\theta $) + 1(T3 – $\theta $) = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ T1 + T2 + T3 = 3$\theta $
$ \Rightarrow $ $\theta $ = ${{80 + 50 + 20} \over 3}$ = 50oC
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow $ 600 M = 24000
$ \Rightarrow $ M = 40
5 $ \times $ 10-5/oC along the x-axis and 5 $ \times $ 10-6/oC along the y and the z-axis. If the coefficient of volume expansion of the solid is C $ \times $ 10-6/oC then the value of C is
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow $ C $ \times $ 10–6 = 5 × 10–5 + 5 × 10–6 + 5 × 10–6
$ \Rightarrow $ C $ \times $ 10–6 = 50 × 10–6 + 10 × 10–6
$ \Rightarrow $ C = 60
Explanation:
So ${{Q + 1200} \over Q} = {{900} \over {300}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ Q + 1200 = 3Q
$ \Rightarrow $ Q = 600 J

Explanation:

Volumes of two compartments are
$ V_1=(4+x) A \text { and } V_2=(4-x) A $
At equilibrium,
$ F_2=F_1+m g $
$ \begin{aligned} & P_2 A=P_1 A+m g \\\\ & P_2=P_1+\frac{m g}{A} \end{aligned} $
From $P V=n R T$, we get $P=\frac{n R T}{V}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{n R T}{V_2}=\frac{n R T}{V_1}+\frac{m g}{A} \\\\ \Rightarrow & n R T\left[\frac{1}{V_2}-\frac{1}{V_1}\right]=\frac{m g}{A} \\\\ \Rightarrow & n R T\left[\frac{1}{A(4-x)}-\frac{1}{4(4+x)}\right]=\frac{m g}{A} \\\\ \Rightarrow & \frac{n R T}{A}\left[\frac{(4+x)-(4-x)}{(4-x)(4+x)}\right]=\frac{m g}{A} \\\\ \Rightarrow & n R T\left[\frac{2 x}{\left(16-x^2\right)}\right]=m g \\\\ \Rightarrow & 0.1 \times 8.3 \times 300\left[\frac{2 x}{\left(16-x^2\right)}\right]=8.3 \times 10 \\\\ \Rightarrow & \frac{6 x}{16-x^2}=1 \Rightarrow 16-x^2=6 x \\\\ \Rightarrow & x^2+6 x-16=0 \\\\ \Rightarrow & x=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36+64}}{2} \\\\ & x=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{100}}{2}=\frac{-6 \pm 10}{2} \\\\ & x=\frac{10-6}{2} \text { or } \frac{-10-6}{2}=-8 \text { or } 2 \end{aligned} $

Explanation:
$ \therefore $ Wexternal + Wwater + Wgas = 0 ....(i)
where Wexternal = work done by external agent
Wwater = work done by water
Wgas = work done by gas
For adiabatic process, ${P_1}V_1^\gamma = {P_2}V_2^\gamma $
Here, ${P_0}{\left[ {{4 \over 3}\pi {R^3}} \right]^{{{41} \over {30}}}} = P{\left[ {{4 \over 3}\pi {{\left( {R - a} \right)}^3}} \right]^{{{41} \over {30}}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ P = ${P_0}{\left[ {{R \over {R - a}}} \right]^{{{41} \over {10}}}}$
Now, Wgas = ${{{P_1}{V_1} - {P_2}{V_2}} \over {\gamma - 1}}$
= ${{{P_0} \times {4 \over 3}\pi {R^3} - P \times {4 \over 3}\pi {{\left( {R - a} \right)}^3}} \over {{{41} \over {30}} - 1}}$
= ${{{P_0} \times {4 \over 3}\pi {R^3} - {P_0}{{\left[ {{R \over {R - a}}} \right]}^{{{41} \over {10}}}} \times {4 \over 3}\pi {{\left( {R - a} \right)}^3}} \over {{{41} \over {30}} - 1}}$
= ${{{P_0} \times {4 \over 3}\pi {R^3}\left[ {1 - {{\left( {{R \over {R - a}}} \right)}^{{{41} \over {10}}}}{{\left( {{{R - a} \over R}} \right)}^3}} \right]} \over {{{11} \over {30}}}}$
= ${{{40} \over {11}}{P_0}\pi {R^3}\left[ {1 - {{\left( {{{R - a} \over R}} \right)}^{ - {{41} \over {10}}}}{{\left( {{{R - a} \over R}} \right)}^3}} \right]}$
= ${{40} \over {11}}{P_0}\pi {R^3}\left[ {1 - {{\left( {1 - {a \over R}} \right)}^{ - {{11} \over {10}}}}} \right]$
= ${{40} \over {11}}{P_0}\pi {R^3}\left[ {1 - 1 - {{11a} \over {10R}} - {{\left( { - {{11} \over {10}}} \right)\left( { - {{11} \over {10}} - 1} \right)} \over 2}{{{a^2}} \over {{R^2}}}} \right]$
= -4P0$\pi $R2$a$ - ${{40 \times 21} \over {100 \times 2}}{P_0}\pi R{a^2}$
= -4P0$\pi $R2$a$ - $4.2{P_0}\pi R{a^2}$
Wwater = P0dV
= P0${\left[ {{4 \over 3}\pi {R^3} - {4 \over 3}\pi {{\left( {R - a} \right)}^3}} \right]}$
= ${{{4{P_0}} \over 3}\pi \left[ {{R^3} - {{\left( {R - a} \right)}^3}} \right]}$
= ${{{4{P_0}} \over 3}\pi \left[ {\left[ {R - \left( {R - a} \right)} \right]\left[ {{R^2} + R\left( {R - a} \right) + {{\left( {R - a} \right)}^2}} \right]} \right]}$
= ${{{4{P_0}} \over 3}\pi \left[ {\left[ a \right]\left[ {3{R^2} - 3Ra + {a^2}} \right]} \right]}$
= ${{{4{P_0}} \over 3}\pi \left[ {\left( {3{R^2}a - 3R{a^2} + {a^3}} \right)} \right]}$
= ${4{P_0}\pi \left[ {{R^2}a - R{a^2}} \right]}$ [ignore ${{a^3}}$ term as no ${{a^3}}$ term in the question]
$ \therefore $ Wgas + Wwater = -$4{P_0}\pi R{a^2}$ - $4.2{P_0}\pi R{a^2}$
= $ - 4{P_0}\pi R{a^2}\left[ {1 + 1.05} \right]$
= $ - 4{P_0}\pi R{a^2}\left[ {2.05} \right]$
From (i), Wexternal = - (Wgas + Wwater)
= $4{P_0}\pi R{a^2}\left[ {2.05} \right]$
$ \therefore $ X = 2.05
Explanation:
For small temperature change,
${{dQ} \over {dt}} = e\sigma A{T^3}\Delta T$ .... (i)
${{mCdT} \over {dt}} = e\sigma A{T^3}\Delta T $
$\Rightarrow {{dT} \over {dt}} = {{e\sigma A{T^3}} \over {mC}}\Delta T$
${{e\sigma A{T^3}} \over {mC}}$ $\to$ constant for Newton law of cooling
$ \therefore $ ${{e\sigma A{T^3}} \over {mC}} = 0.001 $
$\Rightarrow e\sigma A{T^3} = mC \times 0.001 = 1 \times 4200 \times 0.001$
$e\sigma A{T^3} = 4.2$ .... (ii)
${{dQ} \over {dt}} = 700 \times 0.05 = 35$ W ..... (iii)
Putting the value of Eqs. (ii) and (iii) in Eq. (i), we get
$35 = 4.2\Delta T \Rightarrow {{35} \over {4.2}} = \Delta T \Rightarrow \Delta T = 8.33$
Explanation:

${{{p_1}} \over 4}{(4{V_1})^{5/3}} = {p_2}{(32{V_1})^{5/3}}$
${p_2} = {{{p_1}} \over 4}{\left( {{1 \over 8}} \right)^{5/3}} = {{{p_1}} \over {128}}$
${W_{adi}} = {{{p_1}{V_1} - {p_2}{V_2}} \over {\gamma - 1}}$
$ = {{{p_1}{V_1} - {{{p_1}} \over {128}}(32{V_1})} \over {{5 \over 3} - 1}}$
$ = {{{p_1}{V_1}(3/4)} \over {2/3}} = {9 \over 8}{p_1}{V_1}$
${W_{iso}} = {p_1}{V_1}\ln \left( {{{4{V_1}} \over {{V_1}}}} \right) = 2{p_1}{V_1}\ln 2$
$ \therefore $ ${{{W_{iso}}} \over {{W_{adi}}}} = {{16} \over 9}\ln 2$
$ \Rightarrow f = {{16} \over 9} = 1.7778 \approx 1.78$
