In the reported figure, there is a cyclic process A B C D A on a sample of 1 mol of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas during the process A → B and C → D are T 1 and T 2 T 1 > T 2 respectively. Choose the correct option out of the following for work done if processes B C and D A are adiabatic.
Options
- AW A B = W D C
- BW A D = W B C
- CW B C + W D A > 0
- DW A B < W C D
Correct answer
B. W A D = W B C
Step-by-step solution
Work done in adiabatic process = - n R γ - 1   T f - T i ∴   W A D = - n R γ - 1   T 2 - T 1 and W B C = - n R γ - 1   T 2 - T 1 ∴   W A D = W B C
