The molar specific heat C_v of a diatomic gas is (5/2)R when we treat its molecules to be rigid having no vibrations. But this assumption is not always valid especially at high temperatures. In that case, molecules are treated as non-rigid having vibrational energy also. C_v for diatomic gas with non-rigid gas molecules will be:

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
