An ideal gas of density $\rho=0.2 kg m ^{-3}$ enters a chimney of height $h$ at the rate of $\alpha=0.8 kg s ^{-1}$ from its lower end, and escapes through the upper end as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the lower end is $A_1=0.1 m ^2$ and the upper end is $A_2=0.4 m ^2$. The pressure and the temperature of the gas at the lower end are $600 Pa$ and $300 K$, respectively, while its temperature at the upper end is $150 K$. The chimney is heat insulated so that the gas undergoes adiabatic expansion. Take $g=10 ms ^{-2}$ and the ratio of specific heats of the gas $\gamma=2$. Ignore atmospheric pressure.

Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct?

  • AThe pressure of the gas at the upper end of the chimney is $300 Pa$.
  • BThe velocity of the gas at the lower end of the chimney is $40 ms ^{-1}$ and at the upper end is $20 ms ^{-1}$.
  • CThe height of the chimney is $590 m$.
  • DThe density of the gas at the upper end is $0.05 kg m ^{-3}$.
