Answer Any Two Questions


1. A closed system undergoes a reversible process at a constant pressure process of 3.5 bar and its volume
changes from 0.15 m3 to 0.06 m3. 25 kJ of heat is rejected by the system during the process. Determine the
change in internal energy of the system.

2. Air at 1.02 bar, 22°C, initially occupying a cylinder volume of 0.015 m 3, is compressed reversibly and
adiabatically by a piston to a pressure of 6.8 bar. Calculate : (i) final temperature (ii) final volume (iii) work
done on the mass of air in the cylinder.

3. 0.05 kg of carbon dioxide (molecular weight 44), occupying a volume of 0.03 m 3 at 1.025 bar, is compressed
reversibly until the pressure is 6.15 bar. Calculate final temperature, the work done on the CO 2, the heat flow to
or from the cylinder walls, (i) When the process is according to law pv1.4 = constant, (ii) When the process is
isothermal, (iii) When the process takes place in a perfectly thermally insulated cylinder. Assume CO 2 to be a
perfect gas, and take  = 1.3.

4. A cylinder contains 0.5 m3 of a gas at 1 × 105 N/m2 and 90°C. The gas is compressed to a volume of 0.125 m 3,
the final pressure being 6 × 10 5 N/m2. Determine : (i) mass of gas. (ii) value of index ‘n’ for compression. (iii)
increase in internal energy of gas. (iv) heat received or rejected by the gas during compression.

5. A nozzle is a device for increasing the velocity of a steadily flowing stream of fluid. At the inlet to a certain
nozzle the enthalpy of the fluid is 3025 kJ/kg and the velocity is 60 m/s. At the exit from the nozzle the enthalpy
is 2790 kJ/kg. The nozzle is horizontal and there is negligible heat loss from it. ( i) Find the velocity at the
nozzle exit. (ii) If the inlet area is 0.1 m2 and specific volume at inlet is 0.19 m3/kg, find the rate of flow of fluid.

6. Air at a temperature of 15°C passes through a heat exchanger at a velocity of 30 m/s, where its temperature is
raised to 800°C. It then enters a turbine with the same velocity of 30 m/s and expands until the temperature falls
to 650°C. On leaving the turbine, the air is taken at a velocity of 60 m/s to a nozzle where it expands until the
temperature has fallen to 500°C. If the air flow rate is 2 kg/s, calculate ( i) the rate of heat transfer to the air, (ii)
the power output from the turbine assuming no heat loss, and (iii) the velocity at exit from nozzle, assuming no
heat loss. Take the enthalpy of air as h = CpT, where Cp is the specific heat equal to 1.005 kJ/kg°C and T the
temperature.
