उत्तर
As the outer surface of a cylinder containing a gas is rubbed vigorously by a polishing machine, no work is done on the cylinder. Volume of the gas remains constant and the heat energy generated due to friction between the machine and the cylinder gets transferred to the gas as heat energy. This heat energy leads to an increase in the temperature of the cylinder and its gas.

In changing the state of a gas adiabatically from an equilibrium state A to another equilibrium state B, an amount of work equal to 22.3 J is done on the system. If the gas is taken from state A to B via a process in which the net heat absorbed by the system is 9.35 cal, how much is the net work done by the system in the latter case? (Take 1 cal = 4.19 J)

A gas is initially at a pressure of 100 kPa and its volume is 2.0 m3. Its pressure is kept constant and the volume is changed from 2.0 m3 to 2.5 m3. Its Volume is now kept constant and the pressure is increased from 100 kPa to 200 kPa. The gas is brought back to its initial state, the pressure varying linearly with its volume.
