a) Define: (i) Direct and indirect measurement, (ii) specific weight, (iii)
specific volume, (iv) Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics.
b) Explain the working principle of four-stroke CI engine with the help of a
suitable diagram.
c) A perfect gas changes from equilibrium state 1 to state 2 by three quasi-
static processes A, B, C as shown in Figure 1. The internal energy at 1 is 800
J. The work transfer during paths A, B, and C are 120 J, 180J and 150 J
respectively. Calculate the internal energy at state 2 and heat energy
transferred during these processes.

a) In an Otto cycle, air at 15°C and 1 bar is compressed adiabatically until the
pressure is 15 bar. Heat is added at constant volume until the pressure rises
to 40 bar. Calculate (a) the compression ratio (b) the air-standard efficiency,
and (c) the mean effective pressure for the cycle. Assume cv = 0.718
kJ/kg.K, γ = 1.4 and R = 8.314 kJ/kmol.K.
b) State and derive Bernoulli’s Equation
c) Figure 2 shows a simple truss consisting of seven members, each of 3 m
length, freely supported at its end points. It is loaded at B and C as shown.
Find the forces in all the members of the truss, also indicate whether the
force is compressive or tensile.
