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).
Figure

  • Correct answer
    A
    Heat released by the heat engine during one cycle is given by $\frac{11}{2} P_A V_A$.
  • Correct answer
    B
    The efficiency of the heat engine is $15.4 \%$.
  • Correct answer
    C
    The change in entropy of the gas during one cycle is zero.
  • D
    The minimum temperature occurs at D .

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'A', 'B', 'C'.
