    This document is a mid-semester exam for a petroleum engineering course. It contains 4 questions assessing knowledge of thermodynamics and heat engines. Question 1 has parts on the first law of thermodynamics, proving an equation, and showing work is a path function using P-V diagrams. It also asks to write a short note on entropy or the third law of thermodynamics. Question 2 involves calculations for a Carnot engine cycle, deriving a relation between specific heats, and writing a short note on octane number or heat engines. Question 3 involves calculations for a Carnot cycle and writing differences between Otto and diesel engines in tabular form, as well as describing a 4-stroke petrol engine or
