Two cylinder A and B fitted with pistons contain equal amounts of an ideal diatomic gas at 300K. The piston of A is free to move, while that of B held fixed. The same amount of heat is given to the gas in each cylinder Determine the greatest integral value of the ratio of change in temperature of B to the change in temperature of A.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(1)
For cylinder A process is isobaric while for B, it is isochoric.
For A, Q A = nC p Δ T A , For B, Q B = nC V Δ T B
Q A = Q B (given)
nC p Δ T A = nC V Δ T B
= 
= 1.4 = 1
