If a gas is heated at constant pressure, then what percentage of total heat supplied is used up of external work ? (r=4/3)

Answer»

`25%`
`50%`
`75%`
`80%`

Solution :PV=nRT
Gas is heated at constant pressure,
`PDeltaV=nRDeltaT`
`THEREFORE DeltaW=nRDeltaT` ….(1)
heat given to the gas,
`DeltaQ=eta C_P DeltaT` …(2)
`therefore` By TAKING ratio of equ. (1) and (2),
`(DeltaW)/(DeltaQ)=(nRDeltaT)/(nC_P DeltaT)=R/C_P`
`=(C_P-C_V)/C_P [because R=C_P=C_V]`
`=C_P/C_V-C_V/C_P`
`=1-1/gamma`
`=1-3/4`
`=1/4`
=25%
