    The heat transferred in a thermodynamic cycle of a system consisting of four processes are successively 0, 8, 6 and \[-\,\,4\] units. The net change in the internal energy of the system will be:

    A) \[-\,\,8\]                        

    B) zero

    C) 10                                

    D) \[-\,\,10\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[\delta Q=dU+\delta W\] \[\delta {{Q}_{1}}=d{{U}_{1}}+\delta {{W}_{1}}\] \[0=d{{U}_{1}}+\delta {{W}_{1}}\] \[Similarly\,\,\,8=d{{U}_{2}}+\delta {{W}_{2}}\] \[6=d{{U}_{3}}+\delta {{W}_{3}}-4=d{{U}_{4}}+\delta {{W}_{4}}\] \[0+8+6-4=\left( d{{U}_{1}}+d{{U}_{2}}+d{{U}_{3}}+d{{U}_{4}} \right)\]                         \[+\left( \delta {{W}_{1}}+\delta {{W}_{2}}+\delta {{W}_{3}}+\delta {{W}_{4}} \right)\] \[10=\sum{dU+0}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\sum{dU=10\,\,units.}\]
