An engine runs between a reservoir at temperature $200 \,K$ and a hot body which is initially at temperature of $600 \,K$. If the hot body cools down to a temperature of $400 \,K$ in the process,then the maximum amount of work that the engine can do (while working in a cycle) is (the heat capacity of the hot body is $1 \,J/K$).

  • A
    $200(1-\ln 2) \,J$
  • B
    $200(1-\ln(3/2)) \,J$
  • C
    $200(1+\ln(3/2)) \,J$
  • D
    $200 \,J$

Two moles of helium gas are taken over the cycle $ABCDA$, as shown in the $P-T$ diagram. The net work done on the gas in the cycle $ABCDA$ is ...... $R$.

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 its volume is reduced to $V$ by an adiabatic process. Find its final pressure if $\gamma = \frac{3}{2}$.
