Answer any FIVE questions All questions carry equal marks **** (a) What is the difference between a closed system and an open system? (b) What do you understand by path function and point function? Show that work is a path function, and not a property. (a) Explain Joules experiment and state the first law of thermodynamics applied to a close d system undergone by a cycle process. (b) The temperaturet on a thermometer scale is defined in terms of a property K by the relation t = a ln K +b when a, b are constants. The values of K are found to be 1.83 and 6.78 at the ice point and steam point, the temperatures of which are assigned the numbers 0 and 100 respectively. Determine the temperature corresponding to a reading of K equal to 2.42 on the thermometer. (a) Define clausius inequality and prove it. (b) Two reversible heat engines A and B are arranged in series A rejecting heat directly to B. Engine A received 200KJ at a temperature of 4210c form a hot source, while engine B is communicated with a cold sink at a temperature of 4.40c. If the work output of A is twice that of B find (i) the intermediate temperature between A and B (ii) the efficiency of each engine (iii) heat rejected to the cold sink. Draw the following charts for a pure substance T-s, h-s and P-v diagram representing various processes. (a) Explain different laws of perfect gases. (b) A mass of 0.35 kg of an ideal gas has a temperature of 300c, Volume of 0.67m3 pressure of 100 Kpa. The final pressure is 300 kpa volume is 0.8m3. When the gas undergoes irreversible process. The work done during this process is found to be 30KJ. Evaluate CP and CV of gas increase in entropy (a) Explain the term thermodynamics wet bulb temperature. (b) Distinguish between volumetric analysis and gravimetric analysis and explain the procedure convert one from the other. (a) Show that the efficiency of a Brayton cycle is 1

1

(b) Calculate the air standard efficiency of an Otto cycle with compression ratio 6 when compression begins at 350c and 0.1 MPa. Then maximum temperature of the cycle is 11000c. Find the work done per kg of air. 8 (a) Explain with a neat sketch the working of vapor compression cycle. (b) Why air refrigeration system is preferable for air -crafts

where is pressure ratio.
