Module 1 Show that Internal energy is a property of the system. State first law of thermodynamics. What are its limitations? State and explain first law of thermodynamics for closed system State the first law of thermodynamics and prove that for non-flow process, it leads to Q = W + U Differentiate between non flow and flow process. Explain with diagram quasistatic process. Explain intensive and extensive properties with examples. Explain what is meant by thermodynamic work. Develop the following expression for the heat transfer from a mass of gas undergoing reversible expansion process obeying the polytropic law, pVn = constant

Q. 1 Q.2 Q.3 Q.4

Q.5 Q.6 Q.7 Q.8 Q.9

Q.10 Show that the work done in a steady flow process is given by - Q.11 Define path function and point function with example Q.12 State the Zeroth law of thermodynamics. What is its significance? Q.13 Derive a general expression for steady flow energy equation. Q.14 Write a note on Joules experiment Module 2 State the Kelvin Plank and Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics and establish the equivalence between them. State the second law of thermodynamics State and prove Carnot theorem. Explain Carnot engine and Carnot cycle. Show that entropy is a property of the system State and prove Clausius Inequality for an irreversible process. Define i) Heat engine ii) Heat pump iii) Refrigerator iv) COP Define Entropy and show that for an irreversible process

Q. 1 Q.2 Q.3 Q.4 Q.5 Q.6 Q.7

Q.8

Q.9 State and explain the principle of increase of entropy. Q.10 Prove that (COP)HP =1+ (COP)Ref Q.11 A reversible power cycle is used to drive a reversible heat pump cycle. The power cycle takes in Q1, heat units at temperature T1 and rejects Q2 heat units at temperature T2. The heat pump abstracts Q4 heat units from the sink at T4 and discharges Q3 heat units at temperature T3. Develop an expression for the ratio in terms of fore temperatures. Q.12 Prove that efficiency of Carnot engine is equal to
