    Ministry of High Education 2022-2023 : Fall 2022 Mid-Term Exam

    Madina Higher Institute for Course Name : Thermal & Optical Physics
    Engineering and Technology Course Code : EPHS 220
    Comm.& Electronics Department Time Allowed : (1) Hour
    First year Comm. & Elec. Students Date : 21 /11. / 2022
    Dr. Kamal Shoaib Total Mark : 25 Marks
    Solve the following questions showing your working:
    1. What is heat transfer?
    a) Flow of thermal energy from low-temperature reservoir to high-temperature reservoir
    b) Flow of energy in the form of heat from high-temperature reservoir to low-temperature reservoir
    c) Flow of thermal energy irrespective of reservoir temperature
    d) None of the above (1 point )

    Answer: b
    Explanation: Heat transfer is a branch of thermal engineering which deals with the study of transfer
    of energy from a high-temperature reservoir to low-temperature reservoir.
    2- Why fins are provided on a heat transfer surface?
    a) Pressure drop of the fluid should be minimized
    b) Increase turbulence in flow for enhancing heat transfer
    c) Surface area is maximum to promote the rate of heat transfer
    d) Increase temperature gradient so as to enhance heat transfer (1 point )

    Answer: c
    Explanation: Fins are added to the surface of a heat exchanger to improve heat transmission by
    increasing the surface area exposed to the environment.
    3. First law of thermodynamics is based on?
    a) Conservation of energy b) Conservation of mass
    c) Conservation of momentum d) Conservation of work (1 point )

    Answer: a
    Explanation: The first law of thermodynamics is based on the conservation of energy. It deals with
    work done and heat energy supplied or removed from a system. It basically says that energy supplied
    to a system is conserved.
    4. If 315 cal of heat is given to the system, and the system does 20 cal of work, find the change in
    internal energy.
    a) 295cal b) 335cal c) 0 cal d) 335J (3 points )
    Answer: a
    Explanation: The first law states that ΔU=ΔQ – ΔW
    = 315 – 20
    = 295cal.
    Work is positive as it is done by the system. Heat is positive as it is supplied to the system.
    5. What is the relation between the internal energy and heat supplied
    in the process 1 & 2 shown in the diagram? Both paths start at A and
    end at B.

    a) U1 > U2, Q1 > Q2 b) U1 < U2, Q1 > Q2


    c) U1 = U2, Q1 = Q2 d) U1 = U2, Q2 > Q2 (1 point )

    Answer: d
    Explanation: The initial and final states are the same for both processes, so the value of internal
    energy will be the same (U1 = U2).
    1
    The area under the PV curve gives work done.
    In the given diagram, area under 1 is greater than area under 2. So, W1 > W2.
    We know, ΔQ =ΔU + ΔW, which implies that Q1 > Q2 since U is same for both and W1 > W2.
    6. A block of mass 1kg is given a velocity of 5m/s on a horizontal flat surface. What will be the change
    in internal energy of the block-surface system, when the block comes to rest. The coefficient of kinetic
    friction is 0.3 and coefficient of static friction is 0.4.
    a) 25J b) 12.5J c) 0 d) 30J (3 points )
    Answer: b
    Explanation: The kinetic energy of the block will change into internal energy of the system.
    Initial kinetic energy = 0.5*1*25 = 12.5J.
    Therefore the internal energy change = 12.5J.
    7. A disc spinning with 24J of kinetic energy is kept in a container containing a fluid having a heat
    capacity of 2000J/K. When the disc comes to rest what will be the change in internal energy if ΔU =
    3.5ΔT.
    a) 0 b) 0.042J c) 0.021J d) 0.028J (3 points )
    Answer: b
    Explanation: When the disc comes to rest all its kinetic energy will have been converted into internal
    energy of the system.
    The fluid has a heat capacity of 2000J/K which means that for 24J the change in temperature will be
    24/2000 = 0.012K.
    Given: ΔU = 3.5ΔT
    ⇒ ΔU = 3.5*0.012
    = 0.042J.
    8. In the process A to B to C, 20J of heat is supplied from A to B. 20.5J
    of heat has been removed from B to C and 2J of heat has been added
    from C to A. Calculate the value of ‘v’ from the given conditions in the
    diagram. The values of pressure and volume given in the graph are in
    S.I. units.
    a) 4m3 b) 1.5m3
    c) 3m3 d) 8m3 (3 points )
    Answer: a
    Explanation: In one cycle the change in internal energy should be zero.
    The heat energy supplied in one cycle is 20 – 20.5 + 2 = 1.5J.
    Therefore the work done by the system in one cycle should be 1.5J.
    Area under PV curve is work done,
    thus 0.5*(v-1)*1 = 1.5.
    ∴ v = 4m3.
    9. At constant pressure P the volume of a gas increases from V1 to V2 when ‘Q’ amount of heat is
    removed from the system. What will happen to internal energy?
    a) Remain the same if Q = P(V1 – V2) b) Decrease by an amount P(V2 – V1) – Q
    c) Decrease by an amount Q + P(V2 – V1) d) Increase by some unknown amount (1 point )
    Answer: c
    Explanation: The internal energy will definitely decrease as both factors heat removal and work done
    by gas support the same. ΔU = ΔQ – ΔW = -Q – P(V2 – V1) = -(Q + P(V2 – V1)). Thus, we can say that
    internal energy decreases by an amount = Q + P(V2 – V1).
