Question Number 24263 by Tinkutara last updated on 14/Nov/17

The reversible expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic and isothermal conditions is shown in the figure. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct? (1) T_1 = T_2 (2) T_3 > T_1 (3) w_(isothermal) > w_(adiabatic) (3) ΔU_(isothermal) > ΔU_(adiabatic)

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{reversible}\:\mathrm{expansion}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{an}\:\mathrm{ideal} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{gas}\:\mathrm{under}\:\mathrm{adiabatic}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{isothermal} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{conditions}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{shown}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{figure}.\:\mathrm{Which} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{following}\:\mathrm{statement}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)\:\mathrm{is}\:\left(\mathrm{are}\right) \\ $$ $$\mathrm{correct}? \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{1}} \:=\:\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{3}} \:>\:\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{1}} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{3}\right)\:\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{isothermal}} \:>\:\mathrm{w}_{\mathrm{adiabatic}} \\ $$ $$\left(\mathrm{3}\right)\:\Delta\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{isothermal}} \:>\:\Delta\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{adiabatic}} \\ $$

V_2 = ((nRT_2 )/P_2 ) = ((nRT_3 )/P_3 ) as P_2 > P_3 we can infer T_2 > T_3 . So △U_(isothermal) > △U_(adiabatic) W_(isothermal (by gas)) > W_(adiabatic (by gas)) (Hence Q_(isothermal) > Q_(adiabatic) , if we go use Q_(to gas) = W_(by gas) +△U_(of gas) ). so (1), (3), (4) .

$${V}_{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\frac{{nRT}_{\mathrm{2}} }{{P}_{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\frac{{nRT}_{\mathrm{3}} }{{P}_{\mathrm{3}} } \\ $$ $${as}\:{P}_{\mathrm{2}} \:>\:{P}_{\mathrm{3}} \:\:\:{we}\:{can}\:{infer} \\ $$ $${T}_{\mathrm{2}} \:>\:{T}_{\mathrm{3}} \:. \\ $$ $${So}\:\:\:\:\bigtriangleup{U}_{{isothermal}} \:>\:\bigtriangleup{U}_{{adiabatic}} \\ $$ $$\:{W}_{{isothermal}\:\left({by}\:{gas}\right)} \:>\:{W}_{{adiabatic}\:\left({by}\:{gas}\right)} \\ $$ $$\left({Hence}\:\:\:{Q}_{{isothermal}} \:>\:{Q}_{{adiabatic}} \:,\right. \\ $$ $$\left.{if}\:{we}\:{go}\:{use}\:\:{Q}_{{to}\:{gas}} \:=\:{W}_{{by}\:{gas}} +\bigtriangleup{U}_{{of}\:{gas}} \:\right). \\ $$ $${so}\:\left(\mathrm{1}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{3}\right),\:\left(\mathrm{4}\right)\:. \\ $$

But please recheck (2) option, is it true or not?

$$\mathrm{But}\:\mathrm{please}\:\mathrm{recheck}\:\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\mathrm{option},\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{it} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{true}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{not}? \\ $$

T_1 = T_2 and P_2 > P_3 Also ((nR)/V_2 ) =(P_2 /T_2 ) = (P_3 /T_3 ) ⇒ T_3 = T_2 ((P_3 /P_2 )) < T_2 So T_3 < T_1 .

$${T}_{\mathrm{1}} =\:{T}_{\mathrm{2}} \:\:\:\:{and}\:\:{P}_{\mathrm{2}} \:>\:{P}_{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$ $${Also}\:\:\:\:\:\:\frac{{nR}}{{V}_{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\frac{{P}_{\mathrm{2}} }{{T}_{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\frac{{P}_{\mathrm{3}} }{{T}_{\mathrm{3}} }\:\:\: \\ $$ $$\Rightarrow\:\:{T}_{\mathrm{3}} \:=\:{T}_{\mathrm{2}} \left(\frac{{P}_{\mathrm{3}} }{{P}_{\mathrm{2}} }\right)\:<\:{T}_{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$ $${So}\:\:\:\:\:{T}_{\mathrm{3}} \:<\:{T}_{\mathrm{1}} \:. \\ $$
