One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas undergoes the following four reversible processes:

Step $1$ It is first compressed adiabatically from volume $V_{1}$ to $1 \;m ^{3}$.

Step $2$ Then expanded isothermally to volume $10 \;m ^{3}$.

Step $3$ Then expanded adiabatically to volume $V _{3}$.

Step $4$ Then compressed isothermally to volume $V_{1}$. If the efficiency of the above cycle is $3 / 4$, then $V_{1}$ is ............ $m^3$

    An ideal gas of density $\rho=0.2 kg m ^{-3}$ enters a chimney of height $h$ at the rate of $\alpha=0.8 kg s ^{-1}$ from its lower end, and escapes through the upper end as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the lower end is $A_1=0.1 m ^2$ and the upper end is $A_2=0.4 m ^2$. The pressure and the temperature of the gas at the lower end are $600 Pa$ and $300 K$, respectively, while its temperature at the upper end is $150 K$. The chimney is heat insulated so that the gas undergoes adiabatic expansion. Take $g=10 ms ^{-2}$ and the ratio of specific heats of the gas $\gamma=2$. Ignore atmospheric pressure.
