(c) $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$
$\Delta Q = 200cal = 200 \times 4.2 = 840J$ and $\Delta W = 40J$
==>$\Delta U = \Delta Q - \Delta W = 840 - 40 = 800J$

During an adiabatic compression, $830\, J$ of work is done on $2\, moles$ of a diatomic ideal gas to reduce its volume by $50\%$. The change in its temperahture is nearly..... $K$ $(R\, = 8.3\, J\,K^{-1}\, mol^{-1} )$
An ideal gas is taken through a quasi-static process described by $P = \alpha\, V^2$, with $\alpha = 5\,atm/m^6$. The gas is expanded to twice its original volume of $1\,m^3$. How much work is done by the expanding gas in this process
A Carnot engine with sink's temperature at $17\,^oC$ has $50\%$ efficiency. By how much should its source temperature be changed to increases its efficiency to $60\%$ ?...... $K$
An ideal gas, initially in state $\left( P _{12}, V _1, T _1\right)$ is expanded isobarically to $\left( P _{12}, V _2, T _2\right)$, then adiabatically $\left( P _{34}, V _3, T _3\right)$. It is then contracted isobarically to $\left( P _{34}, V _4, T _4\right)$ and finally adiabatically back to the initial state. The efficiency of this cycle is
A sample of an ideal gas is taken through the cyclic process $abca$ as shown in the figure. The change in the internal energy of the gas along the path $ca$ is $-180\, J$. The gas absorbs $250\, J$ of heat along the path $ab$ and $60\, J$ along the path $bc$. The work done by the gas along the path $abc$ is ..... $J$
A carnot engine is made to work between $200\,^oC$ and $0\,^oC$ first and then between $0\,^oC$ and $-200\,^oC$. The ratio of efficiencies $\left( {\frac{{{\eta _2}}}{{{\eta _1}}}} \right)$ of the engine in two cases is
A Carnot engine has efficiency of $50 \%$. If the temperature of sink is reduced by $40^{\circ} C$, its efficiency increases by $30 \%$. The temperature of the source will be$....K$
