Q56 / 60 · NEST (NISER) 2020 (Session 2) · Physics
A heat engine uses one mole of ideal gas as its working substance which performs the following cyclic process, as shown in the figure below. Given $P_C=2 P_A, V_C=2 V_A$, select the correct statement(s).


- Correct answerAHeat released by the heat engine during one cycle is given by $\frac{11}{2} P_A V_A$.
- Correct answerBThe efficiency of the heat engine is $15.4 \%$.
- Correct answerCThe change in entropy of the gas during one cycle is zero.
- DThe minimum temperature occurs at D .
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'C'.
