Paragraph for Question Nos. 17 and 18
One mole of a monatomic gas undergoes the cycle shown in the diagram: The pressure, volume and temperature at
A are
P0,V0 and
T0 respectively; the pressure at
B is
2P0 and the volume at
D is
2V0. The processes
AB and
CD are isochoric. During
BC DA, the gas undergoes the processes such that during an infinitesimal contraction or expansion, the heat absorbed
dQ, the change in internal energy
dU and
dW, the work done satisfy the relation:
dQ=‌dU+‌dW For the process
BC,DA, we can write
dQ=‌dU+‌dW=dU+dW or,
+‌dU=−‌dW‌‌;‌‌ or
,‌⋅‌R∣dT=−‌dW pdV+Vdp⇒RdT‌‌;‌‌ or
,‌pdV+Vdp=0 or,
pV‌= constant
