When volume changes from \(V\) to \(2V\) at constant pressure(\(P\)), the change in internal energy will be:
1. \(PV\)
2. \(3PV\)
3. \(\frac{PV}{\gamma -1}\)
4. \(\frac{RV}{\gamma -1}\)
If a gas changes volume from 2 litres to 10 litres at a constant temperature of 300K, then the change in its internal energy will be:
1. | 12 J | 2. | 24 J |
3. | 36 J | 4. | 0 J |
We consider a thermodynamic system. If ∆U represents the increase in its internal energy and W the work done by the system, which of the following statements is true?
1. | \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=-\mathrm{W}\) in an isothermal process |
2. | \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=\mathrm{W}\) in an isothermal process |
3. | \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=-\mathrm{W}\) in an adiabatic process |
4. | \(\Delta \mathrm{U}=\mathrm{W}\) in an adiabatic process |
The initial pressure and volume of a gas are P and V respectively. First, its volume is expanded to 4V by an isothermal process and then compressed adiabatically to volume V. The final pressure will be (γ = 1.5):
1. 8P
2. 4P
3. P
4. 2P
One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of \(T\) K does \(6R\) joules of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is \(5/3\), the final temperature of the gas will be:

2. \((T+4)\) K
3. \((T-4)\) K
4. \((T+2.4)\) K
Which one of the following processes is reversible?
1. | Transfer of heat by radiation |
2. | Transfer of heat by conduction |
3. | Isothermal compression |
4. | Electrical heating of a nichrome wire |
An ideal gas heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between 227ºC and 127ºC. It absorbs 6 × 104 cals of heat at higher temperatures.
