Even Carnot engine cannot give 100% efficiency because we cannot
A.
prevent radiation
B.
find ideal sources
C.
reach absolute zero temperature
D.
eliminate friction.
Answer :
reach absolute zero temperature
Solution :
$$\eta = 1 - \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}$$
For $$\eta = 1\,\,{\text{or 100% ,}}\,{T_2} = 0\,K.$$
The temperature of 0 $$K$$ (absolute zero) can not be obtained

An ideal monatomic gas is taken round the cycle $$ABCDA$$ as shown in the $$P - V$$ diagram (see Fig.). The work done during the cycle is
If one mole of a monatomic gas $$\left( {\gamma = \frac{5}{3}} \right)$$ is mixed with one mole of a diatomic gas $$\left( {\gamma = \frac{7}{5}} \right)$$ the value of $$\gamma $$ for mixture is
A closed compartment containing gas is moving with some acceleration in horizontal direction. Neglect effect of gravity. Then the pressure in the compartment is
A gas mixture consists of 2 moles of oxygen and 4 moles of argon at temperature $$T.$$ Neglecting all vibrational modes, the total internal energy of the system is
