c (c) The state of a system is defined by ascribing values to a sufficient number of variables. In mechanics, the state of a body is specified by means of a few measurable quantities, such as the position of centre of mass, its velocity and acceleration etc. In thermodynamics, however we disregard these mechanical coordinates and instead consider the interior of the system, find out directly or indirectly by experiments same measurable quantities upon which the internal state of the system for all thermodynamic purposes, the state of a system can be represented by specifying its pressure $p,$ volume $v$ and the temperature $T$ provided the system is in equilibrium.

A Carnot engine working between $300\,K$ and $600\,K$ has work output of $800\, J$ per cycle. What is amount of heat energy supplied to the engine from source per cycle...... $J/cycle$
Helium gas goes through a cycle $ABCDA$ ( consisting of two isochoric and isobaric lines) as shown in figure Efficiency of this cycle is nearly ....... $\%$ (Assume the gas to be close to ideal gas)
Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in succession. The first one, $A$ receives heat from a source at ${T_1} = 800K$ and rejects to sink at ${T_2}K.$. The second engine $B$ receives heat rejected by the first engine and rejects to another sink at ${T_3} = 300K.$ If the work outputs of two engines are equal, then the value of ${T_2}$ is .... $K$
An ideal gas is taken through the cycle $A → B → C → A$, as shown in the figure. If the net heat supplied to the gas in the cycle is $5 \ J$, the work done by the gas in the process $C → A$ is ....... $J$
An ideal gas is made to undergo the cyclic process shown in the figure below. Let $\Delta W$ depict the work done, $\Delta U$ be the change in internal energy of the gas and $Q$ be the heat added to the gas. Sign of each of these three quantities for the whole cycle will be (0 refers to no change)
The volume of an ideal gas is $1$ litre and its pressure is equal to $72cm$ of mercury column. The volume of gas is made $900\, cm^3$ by compressing it isothermally. The stress of the gas will be ...... $cm$ (mercury)
