Solution
The correct option is Balnη−(η−1γ−1)RT0 For 1 mole of gas the heat transfer can be written as, Q=∫ηT0T0nCdT=∫ηT0T0CdT(∵n=1)=alnηT0T0=alnηInternal energy for the gas is given by, ΔU=nCVdT=CVdT(∵n=1) Molat heat capacity for 1 mole of ideal gas, CV=Rγ−1 Thus change in internal energy, ΔU=Rγ−1(ηTo−To)=RToγ−1(η−1) From first law of thermodynamics, Q=ΔU+W Thus work done by gas will be W=Q−ΔU ⇒W=alnη−RToγ−1(η−1)
