i: All real heat engines are less efficient than carnot engine due to:
a) Working substance b) temperature of reservoirs
c) Temperature of cold reservoirs d) none of these ii: The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends on: a) The temperature of the sink only b) the temperature of source only c) The temperature of source and sink d) the working substance iii: Law of increase of entropy is a result of: a) First law of thermodynamics b) second law of thermodynamics c) Third law of thermodynamics d) zeroth law of thermodynamics iv: The temperature scale which is independent of the nature of the substance used in thermometer is called: a) Centigrade scale b) Fahrenheit scale c) thermodynamic scale d) Kelvin or absolute v: If the temperature of the source increase, the efficiency of a Carnot engine: a) Decreases b) Remains constant c) first increases then decreases d) increase vi: Thermodynamic scale can be applied of: a) very high temperature b) moderate temperature c) very low temperature d) none of these Why the efficiency of Carnot engine is less than 100%. Give reason? Define reversible and irreversible process and give example Why Cp > Cv when a gas is heated at constant pressure? It is possible to convert internal energy into mechanical energy? Explain with an example. Why does the pressure of a gas in a car tyre increase when it is driven through some distance? Does entropy of a system increase or decrease due to friction? Describe second law of thermodynamics
Describe the working of petrol engine ?
b) 336 J of energy is required to melt 1g of Ice at 0 oC. What is the change in entropy of 30g of water at 0 oC, as it is changed to ice at 0oC by a refrigerator?
