The average thermal energy for a mono-atomic gas is : (${k}_{B}$ is Boltzmann constant and $T$, absolute temperature)
The $P-V$ diagram for an ideal gas in a piston cylinder assembly undergoing a thermodynamic process is shown in the figure. The process is 
Two cylinders A and B of equal capacity are connected to each other via a stop cock. A contains an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure. B is completely evacuated. The entire system is thermally insulated. The stop cock is suddenly opened. The process is:
The mean free path for a gas, with molecular diameter $d$ and number density $n$ can be expressed as:
Three stars $A,B,C$ have surface temperatures ${T}_{A},{T}_{B},{T}_{C}$ respectively. Star A appears bluish, star $B$ appears reddish and star $C$ yellowish. Hence,
The quantities of heat required to raise the temperature of two solid copper spheres of radii ${r}_{1}$ and ${r}_{2}({r}_{1}=1.5 {r}_{2})$ through $1 K$ are in the ratio:
The mean free path $l$ for a gas molecule depends upon diameter, $d$ of the molecule as:
The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends upon
A deep rectangular pond of surface area $\mathrm{A}$, containing water (density $=\rho$, specific heat capacity $=s$ ), is located in a region where the outside air temperature is a steady value at the $-26^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The thickness of the frozen ice layer in this pond, at a certain instant is $\mathrm{x}$. Taking the thermal conductivity of ice as $\mathrm{K}$, and its specific latent heat of fusion as L, the rate of increase of the thickness of ice layer, at this instant would be given by

In which of the following processes, heat is neither absorbed nor released by a system?
An object kept in a large room having air temperature of $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ takes 12 minutes to cool from $80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The time taken to cool for the same object from $70^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ would be nearly
1 g of water, of volume $1 \mathrm{~cm}^3$ at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is converted into steam at same temperature under normal atmospheric pressure $=\left(\simeq 1 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}\right)$. The volume of steam formed equals $1671 \mathrm{~cm}^3$. If the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is $2256 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g}$, the change in internal energy is

A sample of $0.1 \text{g}$ of water at ${100}^{ o}C$ and normal pressure $(1.013\times {10}^{5} N{ m}^{-2})$ requires $54 \text{cal}$ of heat energy to convert to steam at ${100}^{ o}C$. If the volume of the steam produced is $167.1 \text{cc,}$ the change in internal energy of the sample, is
