An ideal monoatomic gas with pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $2\, V$ and a final pressure $P_i$. If the same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2\,V$, the final pressure is $P_a$ . The ratio $\frac{{{P_a}}}{{{P_i}}}$ is
The latent heat of vaporization of water is $2240 \,J/gm$. If the work done in the process of vaporization of $1\, gm$ is $168\, J$, then increase in internal energy is .... $J$
The efficiency of a thermodynamic cycle $1-2-3- 1$ (see picture) is $20\%$ and for another thermodynamic cycle $1 - 3-4 - 1$ efficiency is equal to $10\%$. Determine the efficiency $\eta $ (in $\%$) of the thermodynamic cycle $1-2-3-4- 1.$The gas is assumed to be ideal
One mole of an ideal gas at $300 \mathrm{~K}$ in thermal contact with surroundings expands isothermally from $1.0 \mathrm{~L}$ to $2.0 \mathrm{~L}$ against a constant pressure of $3.0 \mathrm{~atm}$. In this process, the change in entropy of surroundings $\left(\Delta S_{\text {surr }}\right)$ in $\mathrm{J} \mathrm{K}^{-1}$ is $(1 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~atm}=101.3 \mathrm{~J})$
A mass of diatomic gas $(\gamma = 1 .4)$ at a pressure of $2$ atmospheres is compressed adiabatically so that its temperature rises from $27^o C$ to $927^o C.$ The pressure of the gas in the final state is ...... $atm$
Thermodynamic process is shown below on a $P-V$ diagram for one mole of an ideal gas. If $V _{2}=2 V _{1}$ then the ratio of temperature $T _{2} / T _{1}$ is ...... .
