Assumptions of KTG

A

Gas contains large no of tiny molecules.
Molecules are perfectly elastic spheres of very small diameter.
All molecules of the same gas are identical in shape and size.
Actual volume occupied by gas molecules is very small as compared to the total volume occupied by the gas.

(Molecular chaos) All molecules are always in the state of random motion (all possible directions, all possible velocities)
Collisions with the walls of container and each other are completely elastic.
Between any two collisions, molecules travel in a straight path with constant velocity. (Free path)
Time taken for collision is very small as compared to the time required to cover the free path between two successive collisions.

Q

Explain the degrees of freedom

A

If it is constrained to move along a line it required one coordinate to locate it. i.e. It has one degree of freedom.
If the molecule is constrained to move in a plane it requires two coordinates to locate it. i.e. It has two degrees of freedom.

33
Q

What is the difference between heat and work?

A

Heat and work are two distinct modes of energy transfer to a system that results in change in internal energy.
Heat is the energy transfer due to temperature difference between system and surroundings whereas work is the energy transfer bought about by means which do not involve any temperature difference.

34

39
Q

How does a heat engine work?

A

A heat engine works in a cyclic process. Takes heat from bodies at higher temperature, converts part of it to mechanical work and remaining to a body at lower temperature.
This cycle is repeated over and over again to get useful work for some purpose.

40
Q

Equation for the efficiency of a heat engine

A 
η= W/Q1 
( efficiency= work done on environment in a cycle/heat absorbed by the system in one complete cycle )
OR
W= Q1 - Q2
η= 1- Q2/Q1
Q2 => heat rejected to the environment
41
Q

How does a refrigerator work?

A

Reverse of heat engine. Working substance extracts heat Q2 from the cold reservoir at temperature T2, some external work W is done on it and heat Q1 is released to the hot reservoir at temperature T1
Steps
1) Sudden expansion of gas ( from high to low pressure, cools it, converts it into vapor-liquid mixture )
2) Absorption by the cold fluid of heat from the region to be cooled converting it into vapor.
3) Heating up of vapor due to external work on the system.
4) Release if heat by the vapor to the surroundings bringing it to initial state, completing the cycle)

42
Q

Equation for coefficient of performance of a refrigerator

A

α = Q2/W
( coefficient of performance of a refrigerator = heat extracted from the cold reservoir/work done on the system by the refrigerant)
Q1= W + Q2
α= Q2 / (Q1 - Q2)

43
Q

Coefficient of performance of a heat pump

A

α= Q1/W

A

A perfectly black body is a body which absorbs all the radiant energy incident on it.

55
Q

Write a short note on Ferry’s black body.

A

It is an artificial black body.
Double walled hollow metallic sphere with small aperture. Inner surface coated with Lampblack, outer surface is nickel polished and has a conical projection diametrically opposite to the aperture.
Space between the two walls is evacuated (to reduce heat loss by conduction and convection).

Radiant heat entering through aperture sufferers multiple internal reflections. Each time incident on lampblack it absorbs 98% of the incident radiant heat. So after many reflections almost all the radiant heat is absorbed.

Aperture acts as perfectly black body. Effective area of black body = area of aperture

56
Q

A

I. Intensity of radiations emitted increase with increase in wavelength

A

It can only be used when excess of temperature of the body over the surroundings is small.
