11.Thermodynamics
normal
A student records $\Delta Q,\Delta U$ and $\Delta W$ for a thermodynamic cycle $A \to B \to C \to A.$ Certain entries are missing. Find correct entry in following options
$AB$ | $BC$ | $CA$ | |
$\Delta W$ | $40\,J$ | $30\,J$ | |
$\Delta U$ | $50\,J$ | ||
$\Delta Q$ | $150\,J$ | $10\,J$ |
A
$W_{BC} = -70\, J$
B
$\Delta {Q_{CA}} = 130\,J$
C
$\Delta {U_{AB}} = 190\,J$
D
$\Delta {U_{CA}} = -160\,J$
Solution
$\Delta \mathrm{U}=\Delta \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{AB}}+\Delta \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{BC}}+\Delta \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{CA}}=0$
$\Rightarrow[150-40]+50+\Delta \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{CA}}=0$
$\Delta \mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{CA}}=-160 \mathrm{J}$
