MCQ 11 Mark
Consider a cycle followed by an engine:

1 to 2 is isothermal.

2 to 3 is adiabatic.

3 to 1 is adiabatic.

Such a process does not exist because:

Answer
  1. heat is completely converted to mechanical energy in such a process, which is not possible.
  2. curves representing two adiabatic processes don’t intersect.

Explanation:

  1. The given process is a cyclic process, i.e. it returns to the original state 1. And change in internal energy in a cyclic process is always zero as for cyclic process$\text{U}_\text{f}=\text{U}_\text{i}\ \text{So},\Delta\text{U}=\text{U}_\text{f}-\text{U}_\text{i}=0$ Hence, total heat is completely converted to mechanical energy. Such a process is not possible by second law of thermodynamics.
  2. Here, two curves are intersecting, when the gas expands adiabatically from 2 to 3. It is not possible to return to the same state without being heat supplied, hence the process 3 to 1 cannot be adiabatic. So, we conclude that such a process does not exist because curves representing two adiabatic processes do not intersect.

MCQ 21 Mark
Consider two containers A and B containing identical gases at the same pressure, volume and temperature. The gas in container A is compressed to half of its original volume isothermally while the gas in container B is compressed to half of its original value adiabatically. The ratio of final pressure of gas in B to that of gas in A is
  • A
    $2^{\gamma-1}$
  • B
    $\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{\gamma-1}$
  • C
    $\Big(\frac{1}{1-\gamma}\Big)^2$
  • D
    $\Big(\frac{1}{\gamma-1}\Big)^2$
Answer
  1. $2^{\gamma-1}$

Explanation:

According to the P-V diagram shown for the container A (which is going through isothermal process) and for container B (which is going through adiabatic process).

Both the process involves compression of the gas.

(I) Isothermal compression (gas A) (during 1 → 2)

$\text{P}_{1}\text{V}_{1}=\text{P}_{2}\text{V}_{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{P}_{0}(2\text{V}_{0})^\gamma=\text{P}_{2}(\text{V}_{0})^\gamma$

$\Rightarrow\text{P}_{0}(2\text{V}_{0})=\text{P}_{2}(\text{V}_{0})$

(ii) Adiabatic compression, (gas B) (during 1 → 2)

$\text{P}_{1}\text{V}_{1} ^\gamma=\text{P}_{2}\text{V}_{2}^\gamma$

$\text{P}_{0}(2\text{V}_{0})^\gamma=\text{P}_{2}(\text{V}_{0})^\gamma$

$\text{P}_{2}=\Big(\frac{2\text{V}_{0}}{\text{V}_{0}}\Big)^\gamma\text{P}_{0}=(2)^\gamma\text{P}_{0}$

Hence $\frac{(\text{P}_{2})_\text{B}}{(\text{P}_{2})_\text{A}}=$ Ratio of final pressure $=\frac{(2)^\gamma\text{P}_{0}}{2\text{P}_{0}}=2^{\gamma-1}$

where, $\gamma$ is ratio of specific heat capacities for the gas.

MCQ 81 Mark
A carnot engine whose sink is at 300K has an efficiency of 40%. By how much should the temperature of source be increased so as to increase its efficiency by 50% of original efficiency.
  • A
    380K.
  • B
    275K.
  • C
    325K.
  • D
    250K.
Answer
  1. 250K.

Explanation:

Here, T2 = 300K, $\eta_1=40\%$

$\eta_1=1-\frac{\text{T}_2}{\text{T}_1}$

$\frac{40}{100}=1-\frac{300}{\text{T}_1}$

$\therefore\text{T}_1=500\text{K}$

$\eta_2=40\%+\frac{50}{100}\times40\%=60\%$

$\text{T}_2=300\text{K},\text{T}_1=?$

As, $\eta_2=1-\frac{\text{T}'_2}{\text{T}'_1}$

$\therefore\frac{60}{100}=1-\frac{300}{\text{T}'_1}$ or $\text{T}'_1=750\text{K}$

$\text{T}'_1-\text{T}_1=250\text{K}$

  • A
    dU = 0
  • B
    dQ= 0
  • C
    dQ = dU
  • D
    dQ = dW
Answer
  1. dU = 0
  1. dQ = dW

Explanation:

Key concept: First Law of Thermodynamics.

It is a statement of conservation of energy in thermodynamical process.

According to it heat given to a system $(\Delta\text{Q})$ is equal to the sum of increase in its internal energy (AIT) and the work done (AW) by the system against the surroundings.

$\Delta\text{Q}=\Delta\text{U}+\Delta\text{W}$

According to the first law of thermodynamics. $\Delta\text{A}\text{Q}=\Delta\text{U}+\Delta\text{W}$ but

$\Delta\text{U}\propto\Delta\text{T}$

$\Delta\text{U}=0[\text{As } \Delta\text{T}=0]$

$\Delta\text{Q}=\Delta\text{W}$, i.e., heat supplied in an isothermal change is used to do work against external surrounding or if the work is done on the system then equal amount of heat energy will be liberated by the system

Answer
  1. $\text{T}=\frac{\text{M}_{1}\text{T}_{1}+\text{M}_{2}\text{T}_{2}+\text{M}_{3}\text{T}_{3}}{\text{M}_{1}+\text{M}_{2}+\text{M}_{3}}$

Explanation:

Let the equilibrium tempreature of the system = T

Let $\text{T}_{1}\text{T}_{2}<\text{T}<\text{T}_{3}$

As there is no loss to the surrounding.

Heat lost by $\text{M}_{3}=$ Heat gain by $\text{M}_{1}$+Heat gain by $\text{M}_{2}$

$\text{M}_{3}\text{s}(\text{T}_{3}-\text{T})=\text{M}_{1}\text{s}(\text{T}-\text{T}_{1})+\text{M}_{2}\text{s}(\text{T}-\text{T}_{2})$

$\text{M}_{3}\text{s}\text{T}_{3}-\text{M}_{3}\text{s}\text{T}=\text{M}_{1}\text{s}\text{T}=\text{M}_{1}\text{s}\text{T}-\text{M}_{1}\text{s}\text{T}_{1}+\text{M}_{2}\text{s}\text{T}-\text{M}_{2}\text{s}\text{T}_{2}$

$\text{T}(\text{M}_{3}+\text{M}_{1}+\text{M}_{2})=[\text{M}_{3}\text{T}_{3}+\text{M}_{1}\text{T}_{1}+\text{M}_{2}\text{T}_{2}]$

$\text{T}=\frac{\text{M}_{1}\text{T}_{1}+\text{M}_{2}\text{T}_{2}+\text{M}_{3}\text{T}_{3}}{\text{M}_{1}+\text{M}_{2}+\text{M}_{3}}$

For a gas, $\gamma=1.4.$ Then Atomicity, CP and CV of the gas are:
  • A
    Monoatomic, $\frac52\text{R},\frac32\text{R}$
  • B
    Monoatomic, $\frac72\text{R},\frac52\text{R}$
  • C
    Diatomic, $\frac{7}{2}\text{R},\frac52\text{R}$
  • D
    Triatomic, $\frac72\text{R},\frac52\text{R}$
Answer
  1. Diatomic, $\frac{7}{2}\text{R},\frac52\text{R}$

Explanation:

From $\gamma=\Big(1+\frac2{\text{n}}\Big)=1.4$

We get n = 5, which is the number of degrees of freedom of a diatomic gas.

$\text{C}_\text{v}=\frac{\text{n}}{2}\text{R}=\frac{5}{2}\text{R}$

$\text{C}_\text{P}=\Big(\frac{\text{n}}{2}+1\Big)\text{R}=\frac{7}{2}\text{R}$

The efficiency of a Carnot's engine working between steam point and ice point is:
  • A
    26.81%
  • B
    29%
  • C
    30%
  • D
    10%
Answer
  1. 26.81%.

Explanation:

T1 = (100 + 273) = 373K

T2 = (0 + 273) = 273K

Efficiency $(\eta)=1-\frac{\text{T}_2}{\text{T}_1}$

$=1-\frac{273}{373}=\frac{100}{373}$

$\%\eta=\frac{100}{373}\times100=26.81\%$
