Thermodynamics - Result Question 20

21. A thermodynamic system is taken through the cycle ABCD as shown in figure. Heat rejected by the gas during the cyclic process is :[2012]

(a) 2PV

(b) 4PV

(c) 12PV

(d) PV

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 21. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Internal energy is the state function. In cyclie process; ΔU=0

According to 1st law of thermodynamics

ΔQ=ΔU+W

So heat absorbed

ΔQ=W= Area under the curve

=(2V)(P)=2PV

So heat rejected =2PV
