Define a thermodynamic system.
2.
Draw a p-T (pressure-temperature) diagram for a pure substance.
3.
Does wet steam obey laws of perfect gases ?
4.

12. Derive the relationship between the two principal specific heats and characteristic gas
constant for a perfect gas.
13. Prove that all reversible engines operating between the same heat reservoirs have the same
efficiency.
14. Determine the entropy change of 4kg of a perfect gas whose temperature varies from 127?C
to 227?C during a constant volume process. The specific heat varies linearly with absolute
temperature and is represented by the relation :
c = (0.48 + 0.0096 T) kJ / kg K.
15. Describe the process of formation of steam and give its graphical representation also.
SECTION-C
16. 0.45 kg of carbon monoxide (28) and 1 kg of air at 15?C are contained in a vessel of
volume 0.4 m3. Calculate the partial pressure of each constituent and the total pressure in
the vessel. The gravimetric analysis of air is to be taken as 23.3% oxygen (32) and 76.7%
nitrogen (28).
17. a) Prove that the rate of change of hat interchange per unit change of volume when gas is

18. Write short notes on the following :
i) Perpetual motion machine of second kind.
ii) Claperyon equation and its applications.
iii) Helmholtz and Gibbs function.
iv) Measurement of dryness fraction.
