Heat and Thermodynamics 5 Question 41

42. A thermodynamic system is taken from an initial state i with internal energy Ui=100 J to the final state f along two different paths iaf and ibf, as schematically shown in the figure. The work done by the system along the paths af,ib and bf are Waf=200J,Wib=50 J and Wbf=100J respectively. The heat supplied to the system along the path iaf,ib and bf are Qiaf,Qib and Qbf respectively. If the internal energy of the system in the state b is Ub=200J and Qiaf=500J, the ratio Qbf/Qibi

Answer:

Correct Answer: 42. (2)

Solution:

  1. Wibf=Wib+Wbf=50J+100J=150J

Wiaf=Wia+Waf=0+200J=200JQiaf=500JΔUiaf=QiafWiaf=500J200J=300J=UfUi So Uf=Uiaf+Ui=300J+100J=400JΔUib=UbUi=200J100J=100JQib=ΔUib+Wib=100J+50J=150JQibf=ΔUibf+Wibf=ΔUiaf+Wibf=300J+150J=450J

So, the required ratio
