BMore than $P$
b (b) $P{V^\gamma } = $constant ==> $\frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}}} \right)^\gamma } = {\left( {\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_1}/4}}} \right)^\gamma } = {4^\gamma }$
==> ${P_2} = {4^\gamma }P$
As $\gamma$ is always greater than one so ${4^\gamma } > 4$ ==> ${P_2} > 4P$

An engine has an efficiency of $0.25$ when temperature of sink is reduced by $58\,^oC$, if its efficiency is doubled, then the temperature of the source is ..... $^oC$
Thermodynamic process is shown below on a $P-V$ diagram for one mole of an ideal gas. If $V _{2}=2 V _{1}$ then the ratio of temperature $T _{2} / T _{1}$ is ...... .
$200\,g$ water is heated from $40\,^oC$ to $60\,^oC.$ Ignoring the slight expansion of water, the change in its internal energy is close to ...... $kJ$ (Given specific heat of water $=4184\,J/kgK$ )
The figure, shows the graph of logarithmic reading of pressure and volume for two ideal gases $A$ and $B$ undergoing adiabatic process. From figure it can be concluded that
If during an adiabatic process the pressure of mixture of gases is found to be proportional to square of its absolute temperature. The ratio of $C_p / C_v$ for mixture of gases is .........
An ideal gas expands from volume $V_1$ to $V_2$. This may be achieved by either of the three processes: isobaric, isothermal and adiabatic. Let $\Delta U$ be the change in internal energy of the gas, $Q$ be the quantity of heat added to the system and $W$ be the work done by the system on the gas. Identify which of the following statements is false for $\Delta U$?
