12.4 A cylinder with a movable piston contains 3 moles of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure. The walls of the cylinder are made of a heat insulator, and the piston is insulated by having a pile of sand on it. By what factor does the pressure of the gas increase if the gas is compressed to half its original volume ?

Two moles of helium gas are taken over the cycle ABCDA as shown below in P-T diagram. Assuming the gas to be ideal, the work done on the gas in taking from A to B is

Heat is supplied to an ideal monoatomic gas at constant pressure. The ratio of

An ideal engine whose efficiency is 40%, receives heat at 500 K. If required efficiency is 50%, then intake temperature for the same exhaust temperature is
