Figure shows a cylindrical tube of length `30cm` which is partitioned by a tight-fitting separator.The separator is very weakly conducting and can freely slide along the tube. Ideal gases are filled in the two parts of the vessel. In the beginning, the temperature in the parts `A` and `B` are `400K` and `100K` respectively. The separator slides to a momentary equilibrium position shown in the figure. Find the final equilibrium position of the separator, reached after a long time.

Number of moles in chambers remains same
Part `A` : `(P_(0) A xx 20)/( 400 R) = (P Al)/(R T)` (i)
Part `B` : `(P_(0) A xx 10)/(100 R) = (PA(30 - l))/(R T)` (ii)
`(i)//(ii)`
`(20 xx 100)/(10 xx 400) = (l)/(30 - l)`
`(1)/(2) = (l)/(30 - l)`
`30 - l = 2 l`
`l = 10 cm`

Shows a cylindrical tube of length 30cm which is partitioned by a tight-fitting separator.The separator is very weakly conducting and can freely slide along the Tube. Ideal gases are filled in the two parts of the vessel. In the beginning, the temperature in the parts A and B are 400K and 100K respectively. The separator slides to a momentary equilibrium position of the separator,reached after a long time.

Fig. shows a horzontal cylindrical container of length 30 cm , which is partitioned by a tight-fiting separator. The separator is diathermic but conductws heat very slowly. Initially the separator is the state shown in the figure. The temperature of left part of cylinder is 100 K and that on right part is 400 K . Initially the separator is in equilibrium. As heat is conducted from right to left part, of separator after a long when gases on the two displacement of separator after a long when gases on the two parts of cylinder are in thermal equilibrium.

Show a cylindrical tube of volume V_(0) divided in two parts by a frictionless separator. The walls of the tube are adiabatic but the separator is conducting, Ideal gases ate filled in the two parts. When the swparator is kept in the middle, the pressure are p_(1) and p-(2) in the left part and the right part respectively. The separator is slowly slid and is released at a position where it can stay in equilibrium. Find the volumes if the two parts. (figure)

One mole of a diatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process ABC as shown in figure. The process BC is adiabatic. The temperature at A,B and C are 400K, 800K and 600K respectively. Choose the correct statement:

A cylindrical container of volume V_(0) is divided into two parts by a thin conducting separator of negligible mass. The walls of the container are adiabatic. Ideal gases are filled in the two parts such that the pressures are P_(0) " and " 2 P_(0) when the separator is held in the middle of the container (see figure). Now the separator is slowly slid and released in a position where it stays in equilibrium. Find the volume of the two parts.

A wire frame ABCD has a soap film. The wire BC can slide on the frame without friction and it is in equilibrium in the position shown in the figure. Find m, if T is the surface tension of the liquid.

Figure shows a cylindridcal tube with a adibatic walls and fitted with an adiabatic separtor. The separator can be slid into the tube by an external mechanism. An ideal gas (gamma=1.5) is injected in the two sides at equal pressures and temperatures . The separator remains in equilibrium at the middel. It is now slid to a position where it divides the tube in the ratio 1:3 Find the ratio of the tempertures in the two parts of the vessel.
