One mole of an ideal gas at an initial temperature of $T$ $K$ does $6R$ of work adiabatically. If the ratio of specific heats of this gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is $5/3$,the final temperature of the gas will be $(R=8.31 \ J \ mole^{-1} \ K^{-1})$.

In a thermodynamic process,if $\Delta W$ and $\Delta U$ are the work done and the change in the internal energy of a system respectively,then:

An engine takes in $5$ moles of air at $20\,^{\circ}C$ and $1\,atm$,and compresses it adiabatically to $1/10^{\text{th}}$ of the original volume. Assuming air to be a diatomic ideal gas made up of rigid molecules,the change in its internal energy during this process is $X\,kJ$. The value of $X$ to the nearest integer is

At $N.T.P.$,one mole of a diatomic gas is compressed adiabatically to half of its volume. Given $\gamma = 1.41$,the work done on the gas will be approximately ....... $J$.

Slope of isotherm for a gas (having $\gamma = 5/3$) is $3 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$. If the same gas is undergoing adiabatic change,then the adiabatic elasticity at that instant is ........... $\times 10^5 \, N/m^2$.
