(b) Explain: Process, path and thermodynamic cycle. 04

(c) A piston cylinder device contains 0.25 kg of air initially at 1.5 MPa and 07 300°C. The air is first expanded isothermally to 500 KPa, then compressed polytropically with exponent of 1.2 to initial pressure and finally compressed at the constant pressure to the initial state. Find the work done for each process and net work done.

Q.2 (a) State whether following parameters are point function or path function: 03 Enthalpy, entropy, exergy, work, heat transfer, volume, entropy generation.

(b) A turbine operates under steady flow conditions receiving the steam at 5 04 MPa, 400°C and 80 m/s and rejects it at 300 KPa, 92 % dryness fraction and 40 m/s. The mass flow rate of steam is 30 kg/s. The heat loss is 25 KJ/kg. Find the power output of turbine and inlet area.

(c) The steam supply to an steady flow engine comprises two fluid streams 07 which mix before entering the engine. One stream is supplied at the rate of 10 kg/min with an enthalpy of 4000 KJ/kg and at a velocity of 15 m/s. the other stream is supplied at 30 kg/min with an enthalpy of 3000 KJ/kg and velocity 50 m/s. At the exit from the engine fluid leaves in two streams: one of water at 22 kg/min with an enthalpy of 800 KJ/kg and the other of steam: the fluid velocity at the exit and heat transfer from the engine is negligible. The engine develops the power of 40 KW. Find the flow rate and enthalpy of exit steam.

(c) A heat pump working on Carnot cycle takes in heat from a reservoir at 8° 07 C and delivers the heat to a reservoir at 50°C. The heat pump is driven by reversible heat engine which takes in heat from 1000°C reservoir and rejects the heat to 50°C reservoir. The reversible heat engine also drives a machine that absorbs 25 KW. If the heat pump extracts 15 KW from the 8°C reservoir, find (a) The rate of heat supply from the 1000°C reservoir and (b) The rate of heat rejection to the 50° reservoir.

Q.3 (a) Write the equation for entropy change of reversible and irreversible process 03 and cycles with usual notations.

(b) Explain: Entropy principle. 04

(c) Derive the equation for maximum work obtainable from the two finite 07 bodies at temperature at temperatures T1 and T2 with same constant heat capacity using entropy principle.

Q.3 (a) Explain in short: Exergy. 03

Q.4 (b) Derive the exergy equation for a system undergoing a cycle working 04 between the reservoirs of high temperature (T) and atmospheric temperature (T0).

Q.4 (c) Find the decrease in exergy when 50 kg of water at 80°C mix with the 100 07 kg of water at 40°C, the pressure is being taken as constant and surrounding temperature is 27°C.
