T2 = 400 K and T3 = 375 K. Suppose we wish to raise the temperature of the third object. To do this,
we could run a Carnot engine between the first and second objects, extracting work W. This work
can then be dissipated as heat to raise the temperature of the third object. Even better, it can be
stored and used to run a Carnot engine between the first and third object in reverse, which pumps
heat into the third object. Assume that all work produced by running engines can be stored and used
without dissipation.

friction. The pipe and the piston are made of perfect heat insulating material and the space between
the pistons is filled with one mole of helium gas and the system is in equilibrium. Now the piston A is
given an initial velocity 10 m/s towards the piston B. Then the maximum temperature change of a

gas during the motion is............kelvin.

constant.

4) A cylindrical vessel is divided in two parts by a fixed partition which is perfectly heat conducting.
The wall and piston are thermally insulated from surroundings. The left side contains 0.5 moles of
gas with Cv = 2R at temperature of 300 K. The right side contains 4 moles of mixture of gas with Cv
= 1.75 R at same temperature of 300 K. The piston compresses slowly the right side from volume of
 0

V to . Find final temperature of gas (in K). [Take R = SI unit]

5) A large number of identical elastic balls are moving randomly inside a fixed vertical cylindrical
container under a piston that is at a height h = 1.0 m above the bottom of the container. The
container is kept inside a gravity free chamber. Root mean square speed of the balls is of the order
of 102 m/s and mean collision time of the balls is of the order of 103 s. The piston is suddenly made to
move upwards with a constant velocity u = 1.0 m/s and stopped at a height 2h above the bottom of
the container. Find ratio of total internal energy of the balls in the new steady state to that of initial
state.

7) A flow calorimeter is used to measure the specific heat of a liquid. Heat is added to a known rate
to a stream of the liquid as it passes through the calorimeter at a known rate. Then a measurement
of the resulting temperature difference between the inflow and the outflow points of the liquid
stream enables us to compute the specific heat of the liquid. A liquid of density 0.2g/cm3 flows
through a calorimeter at the rate of 10cm3 /s. Heat is added by means of a 250 Watt electric heating
coil, and a temperature difference of 25°C is established in steady-state conditions between the
inflow and the outflow points. Find the specific heat of the liquid in J/g-°C.
