Three copper blocks of masses $M_1, M_2$ and $M_3 \mathrm{~kg}$ respectively are brought into thermal contact till they reach equilibrium. Before contact, they were at $T_1, T_2, T_3\left(T_1>T_2>T_3\right)$. Assuming there is no heat loss to the surroundings, the equilibrium temperature $T$ is ( $s$ is specific heat of copper)
Which of the processes described below are irreversible?
An ideal gas undergoes isothermal process from some initial state $i$ to final state $f$. Choose the correct alternatives.
Figure shows the $p-V$ diagram of an ideal gas undergoing a change of state from $A$ to $B$. Four different parts I, II, III and IV as shown in the figure may lead to the same change of state.
Consider a cycle followed by an engine (figure.)
1 to 2 is isothermal
2 to 3 is adiabatic
3 to 1 is adiabatic
Such a process does not exist, because
