Temperature difference of 120^oC is maintained between ends of a uniform rod AB of length 2L. Another bent rod PQ, of same cross-section as AB and length $${{3L} \over 2},$$ is connected across AB (see figure). In steady state, temperature difference between P and Q will be close to :

A gas can be taken from A to B via two different processes ACB and ADB.


When path ACB is used 60 J of heat flows into the system and 30 J of work is done by the system. If path ADB is used work done by the system is 10 J. The heat Flow into the system in path ADB is :

A rod, of length L at room temperature and uniform area of cross section A, is made of a metal having coefficient of linear expansion $$\alpha $$/^oC. It is observed that an external compressive force F, is applied on each of its ends, prevents any change in the length of the rod, when its temperature rises by $$\Delta $$TK. Young's modulus, Y, for this metal is :

Two moles of helium are mixed with n moles of hydrogen. If $${{Cp} \over {Cv}} = {3 \over 2}$$ for the mixture, then the value of n is :
