A current carrying wire heats a metal rod. The wire provides a constant power $$P$$ to the rod. The metal rod is enclosed in an insulated container. It is observed that the temperature $$(T)$$ is the metal rod changes with time $$(t)$$ as $$T\left( t \right) = {T_0}\left( {1 + \beta {t^{\frac{2}{4}}}} \right)$$ Where $$\beta $$ is a constant with appropriate dimensions while $${T_0}$$ is a constant with dimensions of temperature. The heat capacity of metal is :
A
$$\frac{{4P\left( {T\left( t \right) - {T_0}} \right)}}{{{\beta ^4}T_0^2}}$$
B
$$\frac{{4P{{\left( {T\left( t \right) - {T_0}} \right)}^2}}}{{{\beta ^4}T_0^3}}$$
C
$$\frac{{4P{{\left( {T\left( t \right) - {T_0}} \right)}^4}}}{{{\beta ^4}T_0^5}}$$
D
$$\frac{{4P{{\left( {T\left( t \right) - {T_0}} \right)}^3}}}{{{\beta ^4}T_0^4}}$$
Answer :
$$\frac{{4P{{\left( {T\left( t \right) - {T_0}} \right)}^3}}}{{{\beta ^4}T_0^4}}$$

A mixture of 2 moles of helium gas (atomic mass = $$4\,u$$ ), and 1 mole of argon gas (atomic mass = $$40\,u$$ ) is kept at 300 $$K$$ in a container. The ratio of their rms speeds $$\left[ {\frac{{{V_{{\text{rms}}}}\left( {{\text{helium}}} \right)}}{{{V_{{\text{rms}}}}\left( {{\text{argon}}} \right)}}} \right]$$ is close to:

A refrigerator with coefficient of performance $$\frac{1}{3}$$ releases $$200\,J$$ of heat to a hot reservoir. Then the work done on the working substance is
From $$C$$ to $$D,V$$ is constant. So process is isochoric. From $$D$$ to $$A,$$ the curve represents constant temperature. So the process is isothermal.
From $$A$$ to $$B,$$ pressure is constant . So, the process is isobaric.
$$BC$$ represents constant entropy.

When $$1\,kg$$ of ice at $${0^ \circ }C$$ melts to water at $${0^ \circ }C,$$ the resulting change in its entropy, taking latent heat f ice to be $$80\,cal{/^ \circ }C,$$ is
Change in entropy is given by
$$\eqalign{
& dS = \frac{{dQ}}{T}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\Delta S = \frac{{\Delta Q}}{T} = \frac{{m{L_f}}}{{273}} \cr
& \Delta S = \frac{{1000 \times 80}}{{273}} = 293\,cal/K. \cr} $$

The temperatures of source and sink of a heat engine are $${127^ \circ }C$$ and $${27^ \circ }C$$ respectively. An inventor claims its efficiency to be $$26\% ,$$ then,
Efficiency of heat engine is, $$\eta = 1 - \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\eta = \frac{{{T_1} - {T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}$$
$${{T_2}} =$$ temperature of sink
$${{T_1}} =$$ temperature of source
Given, $${T_1} = 273 + 127 = 400\,K$$
$${T_2} = 273 + 27 = 300\,K$$
$$\therefore \eta = \frac{{400 - 300}}{{400}} = \frac{{100}}{{400}} = 0.25 = 25\% $$
Hence, $$26\% $$ efficiency is impossible for a given heat engine.

A diatomic ideal gas undergoes a thermodynamic change according to the $$P-V$$ diagram shown in the figure. The total heat given to the gas is nearly (use $$\ln 2 = 0.7$$ )
Concept
Apply first law of thermodynamics to calculate the required work done.
From first law of thermodynamics $$\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$$
where, $$\Delta Q =$$ heat given
$$\Delta U =$$ change in intemal energy
$$\Delta W =$$ work done
Here, $$\Delta Q = 110\,J$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Delta U = 40\,J \cr
& \therefore \Delta W = \Delta Q - \Delta U = 110 - 40 = 70\,J \cr} $$

During an adiabatic process, the pressure of a gas is found to be proportional to the cube of its absolute temperature. The ratio $$\frac{{{C_P}}}{{{C_V}}}$$ for the gas is
$$\eqalign{
& P\, \propto \,{T^3} \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,P{T^{ - 3}} = {\text{constant }}.....\left( {\text{i}} \right) \cr} $$
But for an adiabatic process, the pressure temperature relationship is given by
$$\eqalign{
& {P^{1 - \gamma }}{T^\gamma } = {\text{constant}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{ }}P{T^{\frac{\gamma }{{1 - \gamma }}}} = {\text{constant }}.....\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right) \cr} $$
From (i) and (ii)
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{\gamma }{{1 - \gamma }} = - 3 \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,\gamma = - 3 + 3\gamma \cr
& \Rightarrow \,\,\gamma = \frac{3}{2} \cr} $$
