An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in...

An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding P-V diagrams in column 3 of the table. Consider only the path from state 1 to state 2. W denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic process. Here γ\gamma is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas in n.

Column – 1Column – 2Column – 3
(I) W1→2=1γ−1(P2V2−P1V1){W}_{1 \to 2} = \dfrac{1}{\gamma - 1}\left({P}_{2}{V}_{2} - {P}_{1}{V}_{1}\right)(i) Isothermal(P) An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding P-V diagrams
(II) W1→2=−PV2+PV1{W}_{1 \to 2} = - P{V}_{2} + P{V}_{1}(ii) Isochoric(Q) An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding P-V diagrams
(III) W1→2=0{W}_{1 \to 2} = 0(iii) Isobaric(R) An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding P-V diagrams
(IV) W1→2=−nRTln(V2V1){W}_{1 \to 2} = - nRTln \left(\dfrac{{V}_{2}}{{V}_{1}}\right)(iv) Adiabatic(S) An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding P-V diagrams
Which one of the following options correctly represents a thermodynamic process that is used as a correction in the determination of the speed of sound in ideal gas?

Options

  1. A(II)(iv)(R)( II ) ( iv ) ( R )
  2. B(III)(iii)(P)( III ) ( iii ) ( P )
  3. C(II)(iii)(S)( II ) ( iii ) ( S )
  4. D(II)(iii)(P)( II ) ( iii ) ( P )

Correct answer

D. (II)(iii)(P)( II ) ( iii ) ( P )

Step-by-step solution

It is for an adiabatic process. The correct match is (II) (iii) (P).
