Thermo2 – Quiz #2

I. Problem Solving – 50 pts


1.A Carnot heat engine is operating between a source at TH and a sink at TL. If it is
desired to double the thermal efficiency of this engine, what should the new source
temperature be? Assume the sink temperature is held constant.

2.It is derived to compress air from ambient conditions 100 kPa, 25 ˚C to a pressure of
800 kPa in a reversible SSSF process. Calculate the work of compression, the
associated heat transfer, and the entropy change of the air, all per kg.
a) Isothermal
b) Polytropic w/ n = 1.25
c) Adiabatic

II. True or False


Answer the following true or false. Explain. (5 pts each )

(a) A process that violates the second law of thermodynamics violates the first law of
thermodynamics.

(b) When a net amount of work is done on a closed system undergoing an internally
reversible process, a net heat transfer of energy from the system also occurs.

(c) One corollary of the second law of thermodynamics states that the change in entropy
of a closed system must be greater than zero or equal to zero.

(d) A closed system can experience an increase in entropy only when irreversibilities
are present within the system during the process.

(e) Entropy is produced in every internally reversible process of a closed system.

(f) In an adiabatic and internally reversible process of a closed system, the entropy
remains constant.

(g) The energy of an isolated system must remain constant, but the entropy can only
decrease.
