Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{RT}[2-\sqrt{2}]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{TV}^{\gamma-1}=\text { constant }\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}(\mathrm{V})^{\frac{3}{2}-1}=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}(2 \mathrm{~V})^{\frac{3}{2}-1}\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{TV}^{\frac{1}{2}}=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}(2)^{\frac{1}{2}}(\mathrm{~V})^{\frac{1}{2}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\)

\(\text { Now, W.D. }=\frac{\mathrm{nR} \Delta \mathrm{T}}{1-\gamma}=\frac{1 \cdot \mathrm{R}\left[\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\sqrt{2}}-\mathrm{T}\right]}{1-\frac{3}{2}}\)

\(\Rightarrow \text { W.D. }=2 \mathrm{RT}\left[1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right]\)

\(\Rightarrow \text { W.D. }=\mathrm{RT}[2-\sqrt{2}]\)
