प्रश्न
The initial state of a certain gas is (Pi, Vi, Ti). It undergoes expansion till its volume becomes Vf. Consider the following two cases:
- the expansion takes place at constant temperature.
- the expansion takes place at constant pressure.
Plot the P-V diagram for each case. In which of the two cases, is the work done by the gas more?
उत्तर
The situation is shown in the given P-V graph, where variation is shown for each process.
It is clear from the graph that Process 1 is isobaric and Process 2 is isothermal.
Since the work done is equal to the area under the P-V curve. Here, the area under the P-V curve 1 is more. So, work done is more when the gas expands in the isobaric process as in comparison to gas expands in isothermal.

An adiabatic vessel of total volume V is divided into two equal parts by a conducting separator. The separator is fixed in this position. The part on the left contains one mole of an ideal gas (U = 1.5 nRT) and the part on the right contains two moles of the same gas. Initially, the pressure on each side is p. The system is left for sufficient time so that a steady state is reached. Find (a) the work done by the gas in the left part during the process, (b) the temperature on the two sides in the beginning, (c) the final common temperature reached by the gases, (d) the heat given to the gas in the right part and (e) the increase in the internal energy of the gas in the left part.
