Thermodynamic Processes

A monoatomic ideal gas is heated at constant pressure. The percentage of total heat used in increasing the internal energy and that used for doing external work is AA and BB respectively. Then the ratio, A:BA : B is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Monatomic, isobaric: ΔU:W:Q=Cv:R:Cp=32:1:52\Delta U : W : Q = C_v : R : C_p = \dfrac{3}{2} : 1 : \dfrac{5}{2}.
  2. A=35=60%A = \dfrac{3}{5} = 60\%, B=25=40%B = \dfrac{2}{5} = 40\%
  3. A:B=3:2A : B = 3 : 2, so the answer is (c).
