M.Tech I Semester Supplementary Examinations August/September 2018
ADVANCED THERMODYNAMICS
(Refrigeration & Air Conditioning)
(For students admitted in 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016 only)
Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 60
Answer any FIVE questions
All questions carry equal marks
*****
1 (a) Define volumetric expansivity and isothermal compressibility.
(b) Give the Gibbs phase rule for a non-reactive system. Why is the triple point of a substance
non-variant?
2 (a) 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?
(b) What is the energy equation? How does this equation lead to the derivation of the Stefan
Boltzmann law of thermal radiation?
3 A mixture of ideal gases consists of 3 kg of nitrogen and 5 kg of carbon-dioxide at a pressure of
300 kPa and a temperature of 20?C.
Find: (i) The mixture mole fraction of each constituent.
(ii) Equivalent molecular weight of the mixture.
(iii) The equivalent gas constant of the mixture.
(iv) The partial pressure and partial volumes.
(v) The volume and density of the mixture.
(vi) The Cp and Cv of the mixture.
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 CO
2
and N
2
to be
1.286 and 1.4 respectively.
5 (a) Calculate the decrease in available energy when 25 kg of water at 95?C mix with water at 35 ?
the pressure being taken as constant and the temperature of the surroundings being 15?C
(Cp of water = 4.2 kJ/ kg K).
(b) 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.

Dual? Explain with P-v and T-s diagrams.
