Thermodynamics Question 1
Question: The work done in an adiabatic change in a gas depends only on
[CPMT 1971; MP PMT 2004]
Options:
A) Reversible adiabatic change and fall of temperature
B) Reversible adiabatic change and rise of temperature
C) Irreversible adiabatic change and fall of temperature
D) Irreversible adiabatic change and rise of temperature
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Gas cylinder suddenly explodes is an irreversible adiabatic process and work done against expansion causes a decrease in temperature.
