Question
Can the given heat energy be completely converted to work in a cyclic process? If not, when can the heat can completely converted to work?

Solution
According to the first law of thermodynamics, work can be completely converted into heat. Since the system comes back to the initial stage, the change in the internal energy is zero. In the cyclic process, heat can flow into the system and heat flows out of the system. The net heat transferred to the system is equal to the work done by the gas.

In a petrol engine, (internal combustion engine) air at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 20°C is compressed in the cylinder by the piston to `1/8` of its original volume. Calculate the temperature of the compressed air. (For air γ = 1.4)
For an isothermal expansion of a perfect gas, the value of `(Delta "P")/"P"` is equal to ____________.
Assertion: Equal volumes of monatomic and polyatomic gases are adiabatically compressed separately to equal compression ratio `("P"_2/"P"_1)`. Then monatomic gas will have greater final volume.
Reason: Among ideal gases, molecules of a monatomic gas have the smallest number of degrees of freedom.
