Thermodynamics (Physics) · Question 27

In an adiabatic process, which of the following statements is true?

1. The internal energy of the gas decreases as the temperature increases
2. The molar heat capacity is zero
3. Work done by the gas equals the increase in internal energy
4. The molar heat capacity is infinite

Identify the characteristics of an adiabatic process in a monoatomic gas. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1. (B), (D) only
2. (B), (E) only
3. (A), (C), (E) only
4. (A), (C), (D) only

The work done in an adiabatic change in an ideal gas depends upon only :

1. change in its pressure
2. change in its temperature
3. change in its specific heat
4. change in its volume

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
