One mole of an ideal monatomic gas undergoes the following four reversible processes : It is first compressed adiabatically from volume V ₁ to 1 ~m ³ . then expanded isothermally to volume 10 ~m ³ then expanded adiabatically to volume V ₃ then compressed isothermally to volume V ₁ , If the efficiency of the above cycle is 3 / 4 then V ₁ is,
Options
- A2 ~m ³
- B4 ~m ³
- C6 ~m ³
- D8 ~m ³
Correct answer
D. 8 ~m ³
Step-by-step solution
=1- T₁ T₂ =1- ( V₂ V₁ )^ 2 / 3 - 1 4 =- ( 1 V₁ )^ 2 / 3 V₁=8 ~m ³
