(b) In case of adiabatic expansion $\Delta W$= positive and $\Delta Q = 0$
from FLOT $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$

==> $\Delta U = - \Delta W$ i.e., $\Delta U$will be negative.

    A gas takes part in two processes in which it is heated from the same initial state $1$ to the same final temperature. The processes are shown on the $P-V$ diagram by the straight line $1-2$ and $1-3$. $2$ and $3$ are the points on the same isothermal curve. $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are the heat transfer along the two processes.

    Choose the incorrect statement from the following

    $S1:$ The efficiency of a heat engine can be $1,$ but the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator can never be infinity.

    $S2:$ The first law of  thermodynamics is basically the principle of conservation of energy.

    $S3:$ The  second law of thermodynamics does not allow several phenomena consistent  with the first law. 

    $S4:$ A process,whose only result is to transfer heat from a colder to a hotter object, is  impossible.

    A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initikl thermodynamic state at pressure $P_i=10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$ and volume $V_i=10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3$ chanıes to i final state at $P_f=(1 / 32) \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$ and $V_f=8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3$ in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that $P^3 V^5=$ constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at $P$, followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volume $V_f$. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately
