A Carnot engine working between 300 K and 600 K has a work output of 800 J per cycle. The amount of heat energy supplied to the engine from source per cycle is?
In a given process of an ideal gas, dW=0 and the dQ<0. Then for the gas?
A.
The temperature will decreases
B.
The temperature will increase
C.
The pressure will remain constant
D.
The temperature will increase
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
By first law of thermodynamics, dQ = dU+dW As dW = 0 and dQ<0, so dU<0 But for an ideal gas, U is proportional to T dT<0 Hence temperature of the gas decreases.
