Physics: Thermodynamics


6. Question

The temperature-entropy diagram of a reversible engine cycle is given in the figure. Its efficiency is




Answer
7. Question

A Carnot engine, having an efficiency of h = 1/10 as heat engine, is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is 10 J, the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is




Answer
8. Question

A diatomic ideal gas is used in a Carnot engine as the working substance. If during the adiabatic expansion part of the cycle the volume of the gas increases from V to 32 V, the efficiency of the engine is




Answer
9. Question

A container with insulating walls is divided into equal parts by a partition fitted with a valve. One part is filled with an ideal gas at a pressure P and temperature T, whereas the other part is completly evacuated. If the valve is suddenly opened, the pressure and temperature of the gas will be :




Answer
10. Question

This question has Statement 1 and Statement 2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

Statement 1: In an adiabatic process, change in internal energy of a gas is equal to work done on/by the gas in the process.
Statement 2: The temperature of a gas remains constant in an adiabatic process.
