(c)${T_2} = {T_1}{\left( {\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}}} \right)^{\gamma - 1}} = 273{(2)^{0.41}}$$ = 273 \times 1.328 = 363K$
$W = \frac{{R({T_1} - {T_2})}}{{\gamma - 1}} = \frac{{8.31(273 - 363)}}{{1.41 - 1}}$$ = - \,1824$
==> $|W| \approx 1815 J$

    Jet aircrafts fly at altitudes above $30000 \,ft$, where the air is very cold at $-40^{\circ} C$ and the pressure is $0.28 \,atm$. The cabin is maintained at $1 \,atm$ pressure by means of a compressor which exchanges air from outside adiabatically. In order to have a comfortable cabin temperature of $25^{\circ} C$, we will require in addition

    A solid body of constant heat capacity $1\ J/^o C$ is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways :

    $(i)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $2$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

    $(ii)$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $8$ reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.

    In both the cases body is brought from initial temperature $100^o C$ to final temperature $200^o C$. Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is :

    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:

    A container of volume $1{m^3}$is divided into two equal compartments by a partition. One of these compartments contains an ideal gas at $300 K$. The other compartment is vacuum. The whole system is thermally isolated from its surroundings. The partition is removed and the gas expands to occupy the whole volume of the container. Its temperature now would be ..... $K$
