Two $$kg$$ of water is converted into steam by boiling at atmospheric pressure. The volume changes from $$2 \times {10^{ - 3}}{m^3}$$ to $$3.34\,{m^3}.$$ The work done by the system is about

On $$P-V$$ coordinates, the slope of an isothermal curve of a gas at a pressure $$P = 1MPa$$ and volume $$V = 0.0025\,{m^3}$$ is equal to $$ - 400\,Mpa/{m^3}.$$ If $$\frac{{{C_p}}}{{{C_v}}} = 1.4,$$ the slope of the adiabatic curve passing through this point is :

In the following $$P-V$$ diagram two adiabatics cut two isothermals at temperatures $${T_1}$$ and $${T_2}$$ (fig). The value of $$\frac{{{V_a}}}{{{V_d}}}$$ will be
We know that $$\frac{{{V_a}}}{{{V_b}}} = \frac{{{V_d}}}{{{V_c}}} \Rightarrow \frac{{{V_a}}}{{{V_d}}} = \frac{{{V_b}}}{{{V_c}}}$$

A monatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature $${T_1},$$ is enclosed. in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $${T_2}$$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If $${L_1}$$ and $${L_2}$$ are the length of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then $$\frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_2}}}$$ is given by
A
$${\left( {\frac{{{L_1}}}{{{L_2}}}} \right)^{\frac{2}{3}}}$$
B
$${\frac{{{L_1}}}{{{L_2}}}}$$
C
$${\frac{{{L_2}}}{{{L_1}}}}$$
D
$${\left( {\frac{{{L_2}}}{{{L_1}}}} \right)^{\frac{2}{3}}}$$
The thermodynamic state of a homogeneous system may be represented by certain specific thermodynamic variables such as pressure $$p,$$ volume $$V,$$ temperature $$T$$ and entropy $$S.$$ Out of these four variables, any two are independent and when they are known the others may be determined. Thus, there are only two independent variables and the others may be considered their functions. For complete knowledge of the system certain relations are required and for this purpose we introduce some functions of variables $$p,V,T$$ and $$S$$ known as thermodynamic functions. There are four principal thermodynamic functions
(i) Internal energy $$\left( U \right)$$
(ii) Helmholtz function$$\left( H \right)$$
(iii) Enthalpy $$\left( F \right)$$
(iv) Gibb’s energy $$\left( G \right)$$
Hence, work done is not thermodynamic function.

A solid body of constant heat capacity $$1\,J/{\,^ \circ }C$$ is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways :
(i) Sequentially keeping in contact with 2 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.
(ii) Sequentially keeping in contact with 8 reservoirs such that each reservoir supplies same amount of heat.
In both the cases body is brought from initial temperature $$100°C$$ to final temperature $$200°C.$$ Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is:
$$\eqalign{
& \Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W \Rightarrow 2 \times {10^3} \times 4.2 = \Delta U + 500 \cr
& \Rightarrow \Delta U = 7900\,J \cr} $$

A closed compartment containing gas is moving with some acceleration in horizontal direction. Neglect effect of gravity. Then the pressure in the compartment is
When a enclosed gas is accelerated in the positive $$x$$ - direction then the pressure of the gas decreases along the positive $$x$$ - axis and follows the equation
$$\Delta P = - \rho \,a\,dx$$
where $$\rho $$ is the density and $$a$$ the acceleration of the container.
The result will be more pressure on the rear side and less pressure on the front side.
