An engine has an efficiency of $$\frac{1}{6}.$$ When the temperature of sink is reduced by $${62^ \circ }C,$$ its efficiency is doubled. Temperature of the source is
Work done by the system in the cycle $$=$$ Area under $$P-V$$ curve and $$V$$-axis
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{1}{2}\left( {2{P_0} - {P_0}} \right)\left( {2{V_0} - {V_0}} \right) + \left[ { - \left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {3{P_0} - {P_0}} \right)\left( {2{V_0} - {V_0}} \right)} \right] \cr
& = \frac{{{P_0}{V_0}}}{2} - \frac{{{P_0}{V_0}}}{2} = 0 \cr} $$

On a new scale of temperature (which is linear) and called the $$W$$ scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are $${39^ \circ }W$$ and $${239^ \circ }W$$ respectively. What will be the temperature on the new scale, corresponding to a temperature of $${39^ \circ }C$$ on the celsius scale ?
For given cyclic process, $$\Delta U = 0 \Rightarrow Q = W$$
Also, $$W = - $$ area enclosed by the curve
$$\eqalign{
& = - AB \times AD \cr
& = - \left( {2p - p} \right)\left( {3V - V} \right) \cr
& = - p \times 2V \cr} $$
∴ Heat rejected $$ = 2\,pV$$

A thermally insulated vessel contains an ideal gas of molecular mass $$M$$ and ratio of specific heats $$\gamma .$$ It is moving with speed $$v$$ and it's suddenly brought to rest. Assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings, its temperature increases by :
A.
$$\frac{{\left( {\gamma - 1} \right)}}{{2\gamma R}}M{v^2}K$$
B.
$$\frac{{\gamma {M^2}v}}{{2R}}K$$
C.
$$\frac{{\left( {\gamma - 1} \right)}}{{2R}}M{v^2}K$$
D.
$$\frac{{\left( {\gamma - 1} \right)}}{{2\left( {\gamma + 1} \right)R}}M{v^2}K$$
Here, work done is zero.
So, loss in kinetic energy = change in internal energy of gas
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = n{C_v}\,\Delta T \cr
& = n\frac{R}{{\gamma - 1}}\,\Delta T \cr
& \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = \frac{m}{M}\frac{R}{{\gamma - 1}}\,\Delta T \cr
& \therefore \,\,\Delta T = \frac{{M{v^2}\left( {\gamma - 1} \right)}}{{2R}}K \cr} $$

In a given process on an ideal gas, $$dW = 0$$ and $$dQ < 0.$$ Then for the gas
From the first law of thermodynamics
$$\eqalign{
& dQ = dU + dW \cr
& {\text{Here}}\,dW = 0\,\left( {{\text{given}}} \right) \cr
& \therefore dQ = dU \cr
& {\text{Now}}\,{\text{since}}\,dQ < 0\,\left( {{\text{given}}} \right) \cr
& \therefore dQ\,{\text{is}}\,{\text{negative}} \cr
& \Rightarrow dU = - ve \Rightarrow dU\,{\text{decreases}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ Temperature decreases.

$$100\,g$$ of water is heated from $${30^ \circ }C$$ to $${50^ \circ }C.$$ Ignoring the slight expansion of the water, the change in its internal energy is (specific heat of water is $$4184\,J/kg/K$$ ) :

One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state $$A$$ to final state $$B$$ via two processes. It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume $$V$$ to $$3V$$ and then its volume is reduced from $$3V$$ to $$V$$ at constant pressure. The correct $$p-V$$ diagram representing the two processes is
According to question, firstly gas expands from volume $$V$$ to $$3V$$ and after this volume is reduced from $$3V$$ to $$V$$ at constant pressure.
In isothermal expansion, $$p$$ - $$V$$ curve is rectangular hyperbola.
