Most of the phenomenon in nature is irreversible. A process becomes irreversible in case some energy is converted into heat energy. This is known as dissipative effect. When there is dissipative effect, process becomes irreversible.

In a certain thermodynamical process, the pressure of a gas depends on its volume as $kV ^{3}$. The work done when the temperature changes from $100^{\circ} C$ to $300^{\circ} C$ will be .......... $nR$, where $n$ denotes number of moles of a gas.
An ideal gas undergoes an adiabatic process obeying the relation $PV^{4/3} =$ constant. If its initial temperature is $300\,\, K$ and then its pressure is increased upto four times its initial value, then the final temperature is (in Kelvin):
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
In following figures $(a)$ to $(d)$, variation of volume by change of pressure is shown in figure. The gas is taken along the path $A B C D A$. Change in internal energy of the gas will be .......
