Jet aircrafts fly at altitudes above $30000 \,ft$, where the air is very cold at $-40^{\circ} C$ and the pressure is $0.28 \,atm$. The cabin is maintained at $1 \,atm$ pressure by means of a compressor which exchanges air from outside adiabatically. In order to have a comfortable cabin temperature of $25^{\circ} C$, we will require in addition

  • A
    a heater to warm the air injected into the cabin
  • B
    an air-conditioner to cool the air injected into the cabin
  • C
    neither a heater nor an air-conditioner, the compressor is sufficient
  • D
    alternatively heating and cooling in the two halves of the compressor cycle

$\Delta U + \Delta W = 0$ is valid for

$A$ gas at $N.T.P.$ is suddenly compressed to $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$ of its original volume. What will be the final pressure? (Given: $\gamma = \text{ratio of specific heats} = \frac{3}{2}$,$P = \text{original pressure}$)

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: When $\mu$ amount of an ideal gas undergoes adiabatic change from state $(P_1, V_1, T_1)$ to state $(P_2, V_2, T_2)$,the work done is $W = \frac{\mu R(T_2 - T_1)}{1 - \gamma}$,where $\gamma = \frac{C_P}{C_V}$ and $R$ is the universal gas constant.
Statement-$II$: In the above case,when work is done on the gas,the temperature of the gas would rise.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

By what factor should the volume of an ideal gas $(\gamma = 1.5)$ be increased through an adiabatic expansion so that its $rms$ speed becomes half?

The pressure and density of a diatomic gas $(\gamma = 7/5)$ change adiabatically from $(P, d)$ to $(P', d')$. If $\frac{d'}{d} = 32$,then $\frac{P'}{P}$ is equal to:
