An ideal gas is subjected to a cyclic process involving four thermodynamic states. The amounts of heat $(Q)$ and work $(W)$ involved in each of these states are:
$Q_1 = 6000 \ J, Q_2 = -5500 \ J, Q_3 = -3000 \ J, Q_4 = 3500 \ J$
$W_1 = 2500 \ J, W_2 = -1000 \ J, W_3 = -1200 \ J, W_4 = x \ J$
The ratio of the net work done by the gas to the total heat absorbed by the gas is $\eta$. The values of $x$ and $\eta$ respectively are:

  • A
    $500; 7.5 \%$
  • B
    $700; 10.5 \%$
  • C
    $1000; 21 \%$
  • D
    $1500; 15 \%$

$3$ moles of an ideal monoatomic gas performs an $ABCDA$ cyclic process as shown in the figure below. The gas temperatures are $T_A=400 \, K$, $T_B=800 \, K$, $T_C=2400 \, K$, and $T_D=1200 \, K$. The work done by the gas is (approximately) $(R=8.314 \, J/mol \cdot K)$. (in $ \, kJ$)

One mole of an ideal gas undergoes two different cyclic processes $I$ and $II$,as shown in the $P-V$ diagrams below. In cycle $I$,processes $a, b, c$ and $d$ are isobaric,isothermal,isobaric and isochoric,respectively. In cycle $II$,processes $a^{\prime}, b^{\prime}, c^{\prime}$ and $d^{\prime}$ are isothermal,isochoric,isobaric and isochoric,respectively. The total work done during cycle $I$ is $W_I$ and that during cycle $II$ is $W_{II}$. The ratio $W_I / W_{II}$ is . . . .

One mole of an ideal gas expands adiabatically from an initial state $(T_A, V_0)$ to a final state $(T_f, 5 V_0)$. Another mole of the same gas expands isothermally from a different initial state $(T_B, V_0)$ to the same final state $(T_f, 5 V_0)$. The ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume of this ideal gas is $\gamma$. What is the ratio $T_A / T_B$?
