power developed in him, if the staircase is made up oof 20 stairs each 0.18m in
height ?
2. What are heat reservoirs? Compare heat engine, heat pump and refrigerator.

Assignment: 2

1. Derive 1st law of thermodynamics for flow process and non-flow process
2. A system consisEng of a gas confined in cylinder is undergoing the following
processes before it is brought back to iniEal condiEon:
Step-1: constant pressure process when it receives 50J of work and gives up 25J of
heat.
Step-2: a constant volume process when it receives 75J of heat.
Step-3: An adiabaEc process.
Determine the change in internal energy in each step and work done during the
adiabaEc process.
