All concepts →For the isothermal expansion of an ideal gas in a piston cylinder system, the net heat supplied during the process is equal to the net work. Which one of the following statements i...
In which of the following pairs of cycles, both cycles have at least one isothermal process?
Air of mass 1 kg, initially at 300 K and 10 bar, is allowed to expand isothermally till it reaches a pressure of 1 bar. Assuming air as an ideal gas with gas constant of 0.287 kJ/k...
A mass m of a perfect gas at pressure p₁ and volume V₁ undergoes an isothermal process. The final pressure is p₂ and volume is V₂. The work done on the system is considered positiv...
A mass $$m$$ of a perfect gas at pressure $${p_1}$$ and volume $${V_1}$$ undergoes an isothermal process. The final pressure is $${p_2}$$ and volume is $${V_2}.$$ The work done on...
A piston-cylinder device initially contains $$0.4\,{m^3}$$ of air (to be treated as an ideal gas) at $$100$$ $$kPa$$ and $${80^ \circ }C.$$ The air is now isothermally compressed t...
A cylinder contains $$5\,\,{m^3}$$ of an ideal gas at a pressure of $$1$$ bar. This gas is compressed in a reversible isothermal process till its pressure increases to $$5$$ bar. T...
An ideal gas of mass $$m$$ and temperature $${T_1}$$ undergoes a reversible isothermal process from an initial pressure $${P_1}$$ to final pressure $$P{}_2.$$ The heat loss during...
A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains a gas initially at $$0.8MPa$$ and $$0.015$$ $${m^3}.$$ It expands quasi-statically at constant temperature to a final volume of $$0.0...
Nitrogen gas (molecular weight $$28$$) is enclosed in a cylinder by a piston, at the initial condition of $$2$$ bar, $$298$$ $$K$$ and $$1\,\,{m^3}$$. In a particular process, the...
