One mole of an ideal gas expands adiabatically from w an initial state (𝑇A, 𝑉0) to final state (𝑇f, 5𝑉0). Another mole of the same gas expands isothermally from a different initial state (𝑇B,𝑉0) to the same final state (𝑇f , 5𝑉0). The ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume of this ideal gas is 𝛾. What is the ratio 𝑇A/𝑇B?

A cylindrical furnace has height (H) and diameter (D) both 1 m. It is maintained at temperature 360 K. The air gets heated inside the furnace at constant pressure P and its temperature becomes T = 360 K. The hot air with density rises up a vertical chimney of diameter d = 0.1 m and height h = 9 m above the furnace and exits the chimney (see the figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density = 1.2 kg m–3, pressure P and temperature T = 300 K enters the furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations in and T inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.
