If a heat engine and a refrigerator are working between the same two temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$ $(T_1 > T_2)$,then the ratio of the efficiency of the heat engine to the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is:

  • A
    $\frac{T_1 - T_2}{T_1 T_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{T_1 + T_2}{T_1 T_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{(T_1 - T_2)^2}{T_1 T_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{(T_1 + T_2)^2}{T_1 T_2}$

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:

An ideal gas at initial temperature $T_0$ and initial volume $V_0$ is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2 V_0$. The gas is then expanded isothermally to a volume $5 V_0$ and thereafter compressed adiabatically so that the temperature of the gas becomes again $T_0$. If the final volume of the gas is $\alpha V_0$,then the value of constant $\alpha$ is

For the given $P-V$ diagram of a thermodynamic system,match the curves with their respective thermodynamic processes. ($P$ = Pressure and $V$ = Volume)

An ideal gas expands isothermally from volume $V_1$ to volume $V_2$. It is then compressed to the original volume $V_1$ adiabatically. If $p_1$ and $p_2$ represent the initial pressure and final pressure respectively,and $W$ represents the net work done by the gas during the entire process,then:
