    Starting at temperature $300\; \mathrm{K},$ one mole of an ideal diatomic gas $(\gamma=1.4)$ is first compressed adiabatically from volume $\mathrm{V}_{1}$ to $\mathrm{V}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{1}}{16} .$ It is then allowed to expand isobarically to volume $2 \mathrm{V}_{2} \cdot$ If all the processes are the quasi-static then the final temperature of the gas (in $\left. \mathrm{K}\right)$ is (to the nearest integer)

    A thermodynamic system is taken form an initial state $i$ with internal energy $U_1=100 \ J$ to the final state along two different paths iaf and ibf, as schematically shown in the fire. The work done by the system along the paths $af$, ib and bf are $W _{ af }=200 \ J , W _{ ID }=50 \ J$ and $W _{ br }=100 \ J$ respectively. The heat supplied to the system along the path iaf, ib and bf are $Q_{\mid a t l} Q_{b r}$ and $Q_{10}$ respectively. If the internal energy of the sytem in the state $b$ is $U_b=$ $200 \ J$ and $Q_{l a t}=500 \ J$, the ratio $Q_{b J} / Q_{10}$ is:

    An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding $P$ $V$ diagrams in column $3$ of the table. Consider only the path from state $1$ to $2 . W$ denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is $n$.
