A Carnot’s engine is made to work between $200°C$ and $0°C$ first and then between $0°C$ and $-200°C.$ The ratio of efficiencies of the engine in the two cases is
A$1.73 : 1$
B$1:1.73$
C$1:1$
D$1:2$

B$1:1.73$
b (b) In first case ${\eta _1} = 1 - \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = 1 - \frac{{(273 + 0)}}{{(273 + 200)}} = \frac{{200}}{{473}}$
In second case ${\eta _2} = 1 - \frac{{(273 - 200)}}{{(273 + 0)}} = \frac{{200}}{{273}}$
==> $\frac{{{\eta _1}}}{{{\eta _2}}} = \frac{1}{{\left( {\frac{{473}}{{273}}} \right)}} = 1:1.73$

Following figure shows two processes $A$ and $B$ for a gas. If $\Delta Q_A$ and $\Delta Q_B$ are the amount of heat absorbed by the system in two cases, and $\Delta U_A$ and $\Delta U_B$ are changes in internal energies, respectively, then
A perfect gas of a given mass is heated first in a small vessel and then in a large vessel, such that their volumes remain unchanged. The $P-T$ curves are
A thermodynamic system is taken form an initial state $i$ with internal energy $U_1=100 \ J$ to the final state along two different paths iaf and ibf, as schematically shown in the fire. The work done by the system along the paths $af$, ib and bf are $W _{ af }=200 \ J , W _{ ID }=50 \ J$ and $W _{ br }=100 \ J$ respectively. The heat supplied to the system along the path iaf, ib and bf are $Q_{\mid a t l} Q_{b r}$ and $Q_{10}$ respectively. If the internal energy of the sytem in the state $b$ is $U_b=$ $200 \ J$ and $Q_{l a t}=500 \ J$, the ratio $Q_{b J} / Q_{10}$ is:
Unit mass of a liquid with volume ${V_1}$ is completely changed into a gas of volume ${V_2}$ at a constant external pressure $P$ and temperature $T.$ If the latent heat of evaporation for the given mass is $L,$ then the increase in the internal energy of the system is
Four curves $A, B, C$ and $D$ are drawn in the adjoining figure for a given amount of gas. The curves which represent adiabatic and isothermal changes are
A gas taken through cyclic process $ABCA$ is shown in figure. If $2.4\,cal.$ of heat is given in the process, what is value of $J$ ...... $J/cal$ (mechanical equivalent of heat)?
An enclosed one mole of a monoatomic gas is taken through a process $A$ to $B$ as shown in figure. The molar heat capacity of the gas for this process is
