Two samples $A$ and $B$ of a gas,initially at the same pressure and temperature,are compressed from volume $V$ to $V/2$. Sample $A$ is compressed isothermally,and sample $B$ is compressed adiabatically. The final pressure of $A$ is:

  • A
    Greater than the final pressure of $B$
  • B
    Equal to the final pressure of $B$
  • C
    Less than the final pressure of $B$
  • D
    Twice the final pressure of $B$

$n$ moles of a perfect gas undergo a cyclic process $ABCA$ (see figure) consisting of the following processes:
$A \rightarrow B :$ Isothermal expansion at temperature $T$ so that the volume is doubled from $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}=2V_{1}$ and pressure changes from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$.
$B \rightarrow C :$ Isobaric compression at pressure $P_{2}$ to initial volume $V_{1}$.
$C \rightarrow A :$ Isochoric change leading to a change of pressure from $P_{2}$ to $P_{1}$.
Total work done in the complete cycle $ABCA$ is

$A$ thermally insulated vessel contains an ideal gas of molecular mass $M$ and ratio of specific heats $1.4$. The vessel is moving with speed $v$ and is suddenly brought to rest. Assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings,the temperature of the gas increases by ... ($R =$ universal gas constant)

In the $P-V$ diagram shown,the gas does $5 \, J$ of work in the isothermal process $ab$ and $4 \, J$ of work in the adiabatic process $bc$. What will be the change in internal energy of the gas in the straight path $c$ to $a$ (in $, J$)?
