MCQ
Three processes form a thermodynamic cycle as shown on $P-V$ diagram for an ideal gas. Process $1 \rightarrow 2$ takes place at constant temperature $(300K$). Process $2 \rightarrow 3$ takes place at constant volume. During this process $40J$ of heat leaves the system. Process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic and temperature $T_3$ is $275K$. Work done by the gas during the process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is ..... $J$
  • $-40$
  • B
    $-20$
  • C
    $+40$
  • D
    $+20$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-40$
a
In the process $1 \rightarrow 2, \Delta Q_{1 \rightarrow 2}=\Delta W_{1 \rightarrow 2}$

In the process $2 \rightarrow 3, \Delta W_{2 \rightarrow 3}=0$

In the process $3 \rightarrow 1, \Delta Q_{3 \rightarrow 1}=0$

The complete process being cyclic, $\Delta U=0$

Hence $\Delta Q=\Delta W \Rightarrow \Delta Q_{1 \rightarrow 2}+\Delta Q_{2 \rightarrow 3}+\Delta Q_{3 \rightarrow 1}=\Delta W_{1 \rightarrow 2}+\Delta W_{2 \rightarrow 3}+\Delta W_{3 \rightarrow 1} \Rightarrow$

$\Delta Q_{2 \rightarrow 3}=\Delta W_{3 \rightarrow 1}=-40 J$

A cylindrical furnace has height $(H)$ and diameter $(D)$ both $1 \mathrm{~m}$. It is maintained at temperature $360 \mathrm{~K}$. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure $P_a$ and its temperature becomes $T=360 \mathrm{~K}$. The hot air with density $\rho$ rises up a vertical chimney of diameter $d=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$ and height $h=9 \mathrm{~m}$ above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density $\rho_a=1.2 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$, pressure $P_a$ and temperature $T_a=300 \mathrm{~K}$ enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in $\rho$ and $T$ inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.

($1$) Considering the air flow to be streamline, the steady mass flow rate of air exiting the chimney is

. . . . .$\mathrm{gm} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$.

($2$) When the chimney is closed using a cap at the top, a pressure difference $\Delta P$ develops between the top and the bottom surfaces of the cap. If the changes in the temperature and density of the hot air, due to the stoppage of air flow, are negligible then the value of $\Delta P$ is. . . . .$\mathrm{Nm}^{-2}$.
