Question:
In a cyclic process, if \( \Delta U \) = internal energy, \( W \) = work done, \( Q \) = Heat supplied, then:
In a cyclic process, if \( \Delta U \) = internal energy, \( W \) = work done, \( Q \) = Heat supplied, then:
Show Hint
In cyclic processes, the net work done by the system is equal to the heat supplied over the entire cycle.

- \( \Delta U = Q \)
- Q = 0
- W = 0
- W = Q
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: In a cyclic process, the system returns to its initial state, which implies that the change in internal energy is zero: \[ \Delta U = 0. \] Step 2: According to the First Law of Thermodynamics: \[ Q = \Delta U + W. \] Since \( \Delta U = 0 \), this simplifies to: \[ Q = W. \]

- One kg of water at 27\(^\circ\)C is brought in contact with a heat reservoir kept at 37\(^\circ\)C. Upon reaching thermal equilibrium, this mass of water is brought in contact with another heat reservoir kept at 47\(^\circ\)C. The final temperature of water is 47\(^\circ\)C. The change in entropy of the whole system in this entire process is \rule{1cm{0.15mm} cal/K. (up to two decimal places)

- Consider Maxwell's relation \( \left(\frac{\partial S}{\partial V}\right)_T = \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_V \). The equation of state of a thermodynamic system is given as \( P = \frac{AT}{\sqrt{V}} + \frac{BT^3}{V} \), where A and B are constants of appropriate dimensions. Then \( \left(\frac{\partial C_V}{\partial V}\right)_T \) of the system varies with temperature as (\(C_V\) is the heat capacity at constant volume)
