JEE Advanced 2022 — Paper 1 — Question 29
An ideal gas of density enters a chimney of height h at the rate of
from its lower end, and escapes through the upper end as shown in the figure.
The cross-sectional area of the lower end is and the upper end is
. The pressure and the temperature of the gas at the lower end are 600 Pa and 300 K ,
respectively, while its temperature at the upper end is 150 K . The chimney is heat insulated so that the gas undergoes adiabatic expansion.
Take and the ratio of specific heats of the gas . Ignore atmospheric pressure.
Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

- Option A:
The pressure of the gas at the upper end of the chimney is 300 Pa .
- Option B:Correct
The velocity of the gas at the lower end of the chimney is and at the upper end is .
- Option C:
The height of the chimney is 590 m .
- Option D:
The density of the gas at the upper end is
Answer: B
Step-by-step solution
Const.
From work energy theorem, .
