Thermodynamic Processes

A quantity of heat ' QQ ' is supplied to monoatomic ideal gas which expands at constant pressure. The fraction of heat converted into work is [γ=CpCv=53]\left[\gamma = \frac{C_p}{C_v} = \frac{5}{3}\right]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. At constant pressure Q=nCpΔTQ = nC_p\Delta T and W=nRΔTW = nR\Delta T.
  2. WQ=RCp=1−1γ=1−35=25\frac{W}{Q} = \frac{R}{C_p} = 1 - \frac{1}{\gamma} = 1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}
  3. So the answer is (c) 2:52 : 5.
