- eDefine saturated states, sub-cooled liquid, and superheated vapor state
- aDefine work and heat. Discuss the conventions used for sign ass ignment for both heat and work interactions. 1 K2 A gas is compressed from an initial state of 100 kPa and 0.01 m 3 to a final state of 500 kPa and 0.002 m 3. The process follows the path PV 1.2 = constant. Calculate the shaft work done if the process is carried out in a piston-cylinder device
- aDefine Internal Energy and Enthalpy. Show that for an ideal gas , both internal energy and enthalpy are functions of temperature only. 2 K3 Air enters a compressor at 1 bar, 300 K with negligible velocit y and exits at 5 bar, 500 K with a velocity of 100 m/s. The mass flow rate is 0. 5 kg/s. The power input to the compressor is 100 kW. Assuming air as an ideal gas with Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K, determine the rate of heat transfer from the compressor
- a10 kg of water at 100 0C is mixed with 5 kg of water at 10 0C in an insulated tank. Calculate the total entropy change for the process. Take Cp = 4.18 kJ/kg K. 4 K3 Define Second Law Efficiency (II). Show that the Irreversibilit y(I) for a process is equal to the product of the reference temperature (T 0) and the Entropy Generation (Sgen)
- aDerive the Maxwell Relations from the basic thermodynamic poten tials (Helmholtz and Gibbs function). 5 K3 Draw and explain the ideal Rankine cycle on both T-S and P-h di agrams. List the four basic components of the cycle and state the process that o ccurs in each component
