  • question_answer
    An engine operates by taking n moles of an ideal gas through the cycle ABCDA shown in figure. The thermal efficiency of the engine is - (Take \[{{C}_{v}}=1.4R,\]where R is gas constant) [JEE Online 08-04-2017]

    A)  0.24                      

    B)  0.15

    C)  0.32                                      

    D)  0.08

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[w={{P}_{0}}{{V}_{0}}\]                 Heat given \[={{Q}_{AB}}={{Q}_{BC}}\]                 \[=n{{C}_{V}}d{{T}_{AB}}+m{{C}_{P}}d{{T}_{BC}}\]                 \[=\frac{3}{2}(nR{{T}_{B}}-nR{{T}_{A}})+\frac{5}{2}(nR{{T}_{C}}-nR{{T}_{B}})\]                 \[=\frac{3}{2}(2{{P}_{0}}{{V}_{0}}-{{P}_{0}}{{V}_{0}})+\frac{5}{2}(4{{P}_{0}}{{V}_{0}}-2{{P}_{0}}V)\]                 \[=\frac{13}{2}{{P}_{0}}{{V}_{0}}\]                 \[n=\frac{\text{w}}{\text{Qgiven}}=\frac{2}{13}=0.15\]
