    $W_i=W_a > 0$
  • B
    $W_i > W_{a} > 0$

An ideal monoatomic gas is taken through a process $dQ = 2dU$. The molar heat capacity for the process is:

$A$ thermodynamic cycle takes in heat energy at a high temperature and rejects energy at a lower temperature. If the amount of energy rejected at the low temperature is $3$ times the amount of work done by the cycle,the efficiency of the cycle is

$A$ gas is expanded from an initial state to a final state along a path on a $P-V$ diagram. The path consists of $(i)$ an isothermal expansion of work $50 J$,$(ii)$ an adiabatic expansion,and $(iii)$ an isothermal expansion of work $20 J$. If the internal energy of the gas is changed by $-30 J$,then the work done by the gas during the adiabatic expansion is: (in $J$)
