Thermodynamics
- A refrigerator works between 4°C and 30°C. It is required to remove 600 calories of heat every second in order to keep the temperature of the refrigerated space constant. The power required is :(Take 1 cal = 4.2 joules)

Coefficient of performance of a refrigerator, β = Q2 = T2 W T1 - T2
(Where Q2 is heat removed)
Given : T2 = 4°C = 4 + 273 = 277 k
T1 = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 kβ = 600 × 4.2 = 277 W 303 - 277
⇒ W = 236.5 joulePower , P = W = 236.5 joule = 236.5 watt t 1 sec Correct Option: C

T1 γ P11 - γ = T2 γ P21 - γ
⇒ T2 γ = P1 1 - γ T1 P2 ⇒ T2 = T1 P1 (1 - γ) / γ = 300 × (8)–2 / 5 = 142°C P2 Correct Option: C

- A thermodynamic process is shown in the figure. The pressures and volumes corresponding to some points in the figure are
PA = 3 × 104 Pa
VA = 2 × 10-3 m3
PB = 8 × 104 Pa
VD = 5 × 10-3 m3.
In process AB, 600 J of heat is added to the system and in process BC, 200 J of heat is added to the system. The change in internal energy of the system in process AC would be

Since AB is an isochoric process, so, no work is done. BC is isobaric process,
∴ W = PB × (VD – VA) = 240 J
∆Q = 600 + 200 = 800 J
Using ∆Q = ∆U + ∆W
⇒ ∆U = ∆Q – ∆W = 800 – 240 = 560 JCorrect Option: A
