The specific heat capacity of a metal at low temperature $(T)$ is given as $C_p=32\left(\frac{ T }{400}\right)^{3}\;kJ\,k ^{-1}\, kg ^{-1}$. A $100\; g$ vessel of this metal is to be cooled from $20 \;K$ to $4\; K$ by a special refrigerator operating at room temperature $27^\circ c$). The amount of work required to cool the vessel is
Following figure shows on adiabatic cylindrical container of volume ${V_0}$ divided by an adiabatic smooth piston (area of cross-section = $A$ ) in two equal parts. An ideal gas $({C_P}/{C_V} = \gamma )$ is at pressure $P_1$ and temperature $T_1$ in left part and gas at pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$ in right part. The piston is slowly displaced and released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. The final pressure of the two parts will be (Suppose $ x$ = displacement of the piston)
$P_i, V_i$ and $P_f$, $V_f$ are initial and final pressures and volumes of a gas in a thermodynamic process respectively. If $PV^n =$ constant, then the amount of work done is
A Carnot engine, whose efficiency is $40\%$, takes in heat from a source maintained at a temperature of $500\ K$. It is desired to have an engine of efficiency $60\%$. Then, the intake temperature for the same exhaust (sink) temperature must be ....... $K$
An ideal gas at atmospheric pressure is adiabatically compressed so that its density becomes $32$ times of its initial value. If the final pressure of gas is $128$ atmosphers, the value of $\gamma$ the gas is
