1. 1. Define volumetric expansivity and isothermal compressibility.
   2. Give the Gibbs phase rule for a non-reactive system. Why is the triple point of a substance non-variant?
2. 1. Show that the slope of an isentropic is greater than that of an isotherm on p-v plot. How meaningful is it for estimating the work of compression?
   2. What is the energy equation? How does this equation lead to the derivation of the Stefan Boltzmann law of thermal radiation?

4. If the mixture is heated at a constant volume to 40°C. Find the changes in internal energy, enthalpy and entropy of the mixture. Find the changes in the in internal energy, enthalpy and entropy of the mixture if the heating is done at constant pressure. Take for CO2 and N2 to be 1.286 and 1.4 respectively.

5. 1. Calculate the decrease in available energy when 25 kg of water at 95°C mix with water at 35°C the pressure being taken as constant and the temperature of the surroundings being 15°C (Cp of water = 4.2 kJ/kg K).
   2. How does the energy value provide a useful measure of the quality of energy?

6. An insulated steam turbine, receives 30 kg of steam per second at 3 MPa, 350°C. At the point of in the turbine where the pressure is 0.5 MPa, steam is bled off for processing equipment at the rate of 5 kg/s. The temperature of this steam is 200°C. The balance of the steam leaves the turbine at 15 kPa, 90% quality. Determine the availability per kilogram of the steam entering at both points at which steam leaves the turbine, the isentropic efficiency and the second-law efficiency for the process.

   Control volume: Turbine

   Inlet state: P1, T1 Known; State fixed.

   Exit state: P2, T2 Known; P3, X3 Known; both the states fixed.

7. 1. For the same compression ratio and heat rejection, which cycle is most efficient: Otto, Diesel or Dual? Explain with P-v and T-s diagrams.
   2. Mention the merits and demerits of the Stirling and Ericsson cycles.
