Heat and work are treated as path functions in thermodynamics.
$\Delta Q =\Delta U +\Delta W$
Since work done by gas depends on type of
process i.e. path and $\Delta U$ depends just on initial
and final states, so $\Delta Q$ i.e. heat, also has to
depend on process is path.

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 ...... $atm$
An ideal gas undergoes a circular cycle centred at $4 \,atm , 4 L$ as shown in the diagram. The maximum temperature attained in this process is close to
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 perfect gas of a given mass is heated first in a small vessel and then in a large vessel, such that their volumes remain unchanged. The $P-T$ curves are
$0.08 \mathrm{~kg}$ air is heated at constant volume through $5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The specific heat of air at constant volume is $0.17 \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{kg}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{J}=4.18$ joule $/ \mathrm{cal}$. The change in its internal energy is approximately.
$5.6$ liter of helium gas at $STP$ is adiabatically compressed to $0.7$ liter. Taking the initial temperature to be $T _1$, the work done in the process is
One mole of helium is adiabatically expanded from its initial state $({P_i},{V_i},{T_i})$ to its final state $({P_f},{V_f},{T_f})$. The decrease in the internal energy associated with this expansion is equal to
