Work done by a gas
- Advanced 2015PhysicsMultiple correct
An ideal monoatomic gas is confined in a horizontal cylinder by a spring loaded piston (as shown in the figure). Initially the gas is at temperature , pressure and volume and the spring is in its relaxed state. The gas is then heated very slowly to temperature , pressure and volume . During this process the piston moves out by a distance . Ignoring the friction between the piston and the cylinder, the correct statement(s) is(are)
- Advanced 2014PhysicsSingle correct
Now consider the partition to be free to move without friction so that the pressure of gases in both compartments is the same. Then total work done by the gases till the time they achieve equilibrium will be
- Main 2014PhysicsSingle correct
The equation of state for a gas is given by , where is the number of moles and is a positive constant. The initial temperature and pressure of one mole of the gas contained in a cylinder are and respectively. The work done by the gas when its temperature doubles isobarically will be :
- Main 2014PhysicsSingle correct
A gas is compressed from a volume of 2 m to a volume of 1 m at a constant pressure of 100 N/m. Then it is heated at constant volume by supplying 150 J of energy. As a result, the internal energy of the gas :
