    An engine takes in $5$ moles of air at $20\,^{\circ} C$ and $1$ $atm,$ and compresses it adiabaticaly to $1 / 10^{\text {th }}$ of the original volume. Assuming air to be a diatomic ideal gas made up of rigid molecules, the change in its internal energy during this process comes out to be $X\, kJ$. The value of $X$ to the nearest integer is

    An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding $P$ $V$ diagrams in column $3$ of the table. Consider only the path from state $1$ to $2 . W$ denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is $n$.
