(N/A) $1$. Isothermal Process: $A$ process in which the temperature of the system remains constant $(T = \text{constant})$. For an ideal gas, the internal energy remains constant $(dU = 0)$.
$2$. Adiabatic Process: $A$ process in which there is no exchange of heat between the system and its surroundings $(dQ = 0)$.
$3$. Isobaric Process: $A$ process in which the pressure of the system remains constant $(P = \text{constant})$.
$4$. First Law of Thermodynamics: For an ideal gas, the first law is given by $dQ = dU + dW$, where $dQ$ is the heat supplied to the system, $dU$ is the change in internal energy, and $dW$ is the work done by the system.

Two cylinders of equal size are filled with an equal amount of ideal diatomic gas at room temperature. Both cylinders are fitted with pistons. In cylinder $A$,the piston is free to move (isobaric process),while in cylinder $B$,the piston is fixed (isochoric process). When the same amount of heat is supplied to both cylinders,the temperature of the gas in cylinder $A$ rises by $30\, K$. What will be the rise in temperature of the gas in cylinder $B$ (in $;K$)?

$A$ thermodynamic system undergoes a cyclic process through four stages. The energy values involved during this process are $Q_1 = 600 \ J, Q_2 = -400 \ J, Q_3 = -300 \ J$,and $Q_4 = 200 \ J$. The work values are $W_1 = 300 \ J, W_2 = -200 \ J, W_3 = -150 \ J$,and $W_4$. Find the value of $W_4$ in $J$.
