The P-V diagram of a diatomic ideal gas system going under cyclic process as shown in figure. The work done during an adiabatic process CD is (use γ = 1.4) :
Show Hint
- 400 J
- -500 J
- 200 J
- -400 J
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 2: For process CD, $W_{CD} = \frac{P_C V_C - P_D V_D}{\gamma - 1}$.
Step 3: For a diatomic gas, $\gamma - 1 = 0.4$. Using values from the diagram: $W = \frac{200 - 400}{0.4} = -500 \text{ J}$.
