A Carnot engine (E) is working between two temperatures 473 K and 273 K. In a new system two engines - engine E1 works between 473 K to 373 K and engine E2 works between 373 K to 273 K. If 12, 1 and 2 are the efficiencies of the engines E, E1 and E2, respectively, then

  1. 12 = 1 2
  2. 12 = 1 + 2
  3. 12 1 + 2
  4. 12 < 1 + 2

Answer

(4) 12 < 1 + 2

Solution

Carnot efficiency: = 1 - T2T1

12 = 1 - 273473 = 200473 0.423

1 = 1 - 373473 = 100473 0.211

2 = 1 - 273373 = 100373 0.268

1 + 2 0.479 > 12

(In general 1 - 12 = (1 - 1)(1 - 2) 12 = 1 + 2 - 1 2)

12 < 1 + 2

Answer: (4)

One mole of diatomic gas having rotational modes only is kept in a cylinder with a piston system. The cross-section area of the cylinder is 4 cm2. The gas is heated slowly to raise the temperature by 1.2 °C during which the piston moves by 25 mm. The amount of heat supplied to the gas is J. (Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa, R=8.3 J/mol. K) (Neglect mass of the piston)

A cylinder with adiabatic walls is closed at both ends and is divided into two compartments by a frictionless adiabatic piston. Ideal gas is filled in both (left and right) the compartments at same P, V, T. Heating is started from left side until pressure changes to 27P8. If initial volume of each compartment was 9 litres then the final volume in right-hand side compartment is litres. (for this ideal gas CP/CV=1.5)

An ideal gas undergoes a process maintaining relation between pressure (P) and volume (V) as P=P0 (1+ ( V0V )2 )-1, where P0 and V0 are constants. If two samples A and B (two moles each) with initial volumes V0 and 3V0 respectively undergo above mentioned process and attain same pressure, then the difference in the temperatures of these samples, TB-TA is .
