One mole of an ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process,consisting of two isochores and two isobars. Temperatures at points $1$ and $3$ are $T_1$ and $T_3$ respectively. Find the work done by the gas over the cycle,if points $2$ and $4$ lie on the same isotherm.

  • A
    $\frac{R(T_1+T_3)}{2}$
  • B
    $R(\sqrt{T_3}-\sqrt{T_1})^2$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{2}(\sqrt{T_1}+\sqrt{T_3})^2$
  • D
    $R\sqrt{T_1T_3}$

The figure shows a cylindrical adiabatic container of total volume $2V_0$ divided into two equal parts by a conducting piston (which is free to move). Each part contains an identical gas at pressure $P_0$. Initially,the temperature of the left and right parts is $4T_0$ and $T_0$ respectively. An external force is applied on the piston to keep it at rest. Find the value of the external force required when thermal equilibrium is reached. ($A =$ Area of the piston)

An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a horizontal cylinder by a spring-loaded piston (as shown in the figure). Initially,the gas is at temperature $T_1$,pressure $P_1$,and volume $V_1$,and the spring is in its relaxed state. The gas is then heated very slowly to temperature $T_2$,pressure $P_2$,and volume $V_2$. During this process,the piston moves out by a distance $x$. Ignoring the friction between the piston and the cylinder,the correct statement$(s)$ is(are):
$(A)$ If $V_2=2V_1$ and $T_2=3T_1$,then the energy stored in the spring is $\frac{1}{4}P_1V_1$
$(B)$ If $V_2=2V_1$ and $T_2=3T_1$,then the change in internal energy is $3P_1V_1$
$(C)$ If $V_2=3V_1$ and $T_2=4T_1$,then the work done by the gas is $\frac{7}{3}P_1V_1$
$(D)$ If $V_2=3V_1$ and $T_2=4T_1$,then the heat supplied to the gas is $\frac{41}{6}P_1V_1$

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ fitted with pistons contain an equal amount of an ideal diatomic gas at temperature $T$ $K$. The piston of cylinder $A$ is free to move,while that of $B$ is held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder. If the rise in temperature of the gas in $A$ is $dT_{A}$,then the rise in temperature of the gas in cylinder $B$ is (where $\gamma = \frac{C_{P}}{C_{V}}$):
