Three processes compose a thermodynamic cycle shown in the $PV$ diagram. Process $1\rightarrow 2$ takes place at constant temperature. Process $2\rightarrow 3$ takes place at constant volume,and process $3\rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic. During the complete cycle,the total amount of work done is $10\,J$. During process $2\rightarrow 3$,the internal energy decreases by $20\,J$ and during process $3\rightarrow 1$,$20\,J$ of work is done on the system. How much heat is added to the system during process $1\rightarrow 2$ (in $,J$)?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $30$

Two cylinders $A$ and $B$ are fitted with pistons and contain equal amounts of a diatomic gas at $300 \ K$. The piston of cylinder $A$ is free to move,while the piston of cylinder $B$ is fixed. If the same amount of heat is supplied to each cylinder,the temperature of gas in $A$ increases by $30 \ K$. What is the increase in the temperature of gas in $B$ (in $K$)?

$A$ gas obeying the equation of state $pV = RT$ undergoes a hypothetical reversible process described by the equation $pV^{5/3} \exp \left(-\frac{pV}{E_0}\right) = C_1$,where $C_1$ and $E_0$ are dimensioned constants. Then,for this process,the thermal compressibility at high temperature

In a certain thermodynamical process,the pressure of a gas depends on its volume as $P = kV^{3}$. The work done when the temperature changes from $100^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$ will be .......... $nR$,where $n$ denotes the number of moles of a gas.
