(b) Derive PdV or displacement work. Understand CO#2 6M
(a) Derive steady flow energy equation for control volume. Understand CO#3 6M
Air flows steadily through a compressor. It is
compressed reversibly from 0.1 MPa and 30° C to 0.9

(b) MPa. Evaluate the work of compression. Apply CO#3 6M
a) if the process is isothermal
b)if the process follows adiabatic law pV1.4 = Constant
OR
 (a) State and prove the Carnot theorem. Remember CO#3 6M
What is perpetual motion machine of second kind? Why
5
(b) such a machine cannot be constructed in actual Understand CO#3 6M
practice?
Derive the relation for the change of entropy in
(a) Understand CO#4 6M
constant volume and constant pressure process.
One kg of ice at -5°C is exposed to the atmosphere at
20 °C. The ice melts and comes to thermal equilibrium
6
with the atmosphere. Determine the entropy change of
(b) Apply CO#4 6M
ice, entropy change of water and entropy change of
universe. The specific heat of ice is 2 kJ/kgK and latent
heat is 333.3 kJ/kg.
OR
State the Dalton’s law of partial pressures. On what
(a) Understand CO#4 6M
assumptions this law based?
A mass of air is initially at 260 oC and 700 KPa, and
occupies 0.028 m3. The air is expanded at constant
pressure to 0.084 m3. A polytropic process with n=1.50

is then carried out, followed by a constant temperature
(b) Apply CO#4 6M
process completes a cycle. All the processes are
reversible. (a) Sketch the cycle in the P-V and T-S
planes. (b) Find the heat received and heat rejected in
the cycle. (c) Find the efficiency of the cycle.

OR
Explain the Otto cycle and derive a relation for its
(a) Understand CO#6 6M
efficiency.
In an Otto cycle, air at 160C and 1 bar is compressed
adiabatically until the pressure is 15 bar. Heat is added
at constant volume until the pressure rises to 30 bar.
