Question
A gas contained in a cylinder surrounded by a thick layer of insulating material is quickly compressed has there been a transfer of heat?
Options
Yes
No
Solution
No.
There is no transfer of heat energy, as the cylindrical vessel is surrounded by an insulating material, which doesn't allow heat transfer.

Suppose a person wants to increase the efficiency of the reversible heat engine that is operating between 100°C and 300°C. He had two ways to increase efficiency.
- By decreasing the cold reservoir temperature from 100°C to 50°C and keeping the hot reservoir temperature constant
- by increasing the temperature of the hot reservoir from 300°C to 350°C by keeping the cold reservoir temperature constant.
Which is the suitable method?
