6. A piston and cylinder machine contains a fluid system which passes through a
complete cycle of four processes. During a cycle the sum of all the heat
transfers is -170 Kj. The system completes 100 cycles per minute. Complete
the following table showing the method of each item, and complete the net
rate of work output in Kw.

Process Q (KJ/Min) W (KJ/Min) ∆E (KJ/Min)

a-b 0 2,170 -
b-c 21,000 0 -
c-d -2,100 - -36,000
d-a - - -

7. A fluid is confined in a cylinder by a spring-loaded, frictionless piston so

that the pressure in the fluid is a linear function of volume (p=a+bv). The
internal energy is given by the following equation
U=34+3.15pv
Where u is in Kj, p in Kpa, v in cubic meter. If the fluid changes from an
initial state of 170 Kpa, 0.03m³ to a final state of 400 Kpa, 0.06m³, with no
work other than that done on the piston, find the direction and magnitude of
the work and heat transfer.

8. State the entropy is a property of fluid

9. A reversible heat engine operates between two reservoirs at temperatures
of 600°C and 40°C. The engine drives a reversible refrigerator which
operates between reservoirs and temperatures of 40°C and -20°C. The heat
transfer to the engine is 2000 Kj and the net work output of the combined
engine refrigerator plant is 360 Kj.

a) Evaluate the heat transfer to the refrigerant and the net heat
transfer to the reservoir at 40°C.
b) Reconsider that the efficiency of the heat engine and the cop of the
refrigerator are each 40% of their maximum possible values.

10. One kg of ice at -5°C is exposed to the atmosphere which is at 20°C. The ice
Melts and comes into thermal equilibrium with the atmosphere.
Determine,

a) The entropy increase in the universe

b) What is the maximum amount of work necessary to convert the water?
Back into ice at -5°C? Cp of ice is 2.093 kj/kgk and the latent heat of
Fusion of ice is 333.3 Kj/Kg.

11. Three identical finite bodies of constant heat capacity are at temperatures
of 300K, 300K and 100K. If no work are heat is supplied from outside, what
is the highest temperature to which any one of the bodies can be raised by
the operation of heat engines to refrigerators?
