Consider an ideal gas confined in an isolated closed chamber. As the gas undergoes an adiabatic expansion, the average time of collision between molecules increases as $${V^q},$$ where $$V$$ is the volume of the gas. The value of $$q$$ is: $$\left( {\gamma = {{{C_p}} \over {{C_v}}}} \right)$$

A solid body of constant heat capacity $$1$$ $$J/{}^ \circ C$$ is being heated by keeping it in contact with reservoirs in two ways:
$$(i)$$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $$2$$ reservoirs such that each reservoir
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$supplies same amount of heat.
$$(ii)$$ Sequentially keeping in contact with $$8$$ reservoirs such that each reservoir
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,$$supplies same amount of heat.
In both the cases body is brought from initial temperature $${100^ \circ }C$$ to final temperature $${200^ \circ }C$$. Entropy change of the body in the two cases respectively is :

One mole of a diatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process $$ABC$$ as shown in figure. The process $$BC$$ is adiabatic. The temperatures at $$A, B$$ and $$C$$ are $$400$$ $$K$$, $$800$$ $$K$$ and $$600$$ $$K$$ respectively. Choose the correct statement :

Three rods of Copper, Brass and Steel are welded together to form a $$Y$$ shaped structure. Area of cross - section of each rod $$ = 4c{m^2}.$$ End of copper rod is maintained at $${100^ \circ }C$$ where as ends of brass and steel are kept at $${0^ \circ }C$$. Lengths of the copper, brass and steel rods are $$46,$$ $$13$$ and $$12$$ $$cms$$ respectively. The rods are thermally insulated from surroundings excepts at ends. Thermal conductivities of copper, brass and steel are $$0.92, 0.26$$ and $$0.12$$ $$CGS$$ units respectively. Rate of heat flow through copper rod is:
