1. a) State and Prove Carnot’s Theorem (CO3)

b) A rigid vessel of volume contains an ideal gas, CV = (5/2) R, at 500 K and 1 bar.
i. If the heat in the amount of 15000 J is transferred to the gas, determine its
entropy change.
ii. If the vessel is fitted with a stirrer that is rotated by a shaft so that work in
the amount of 15000 J is done on the gas, what is the entropy change of the
gas if the process is adiabatic? What is ∆Stotal?
H R P B dB S R −P dB
2. Show that = (
RT R T dT
− ) and
R
=
R dT

3. a) Derive the relation of thermal efficiency of an expander by discussing the
principle.
b) Saturated-vapor steam at 100 kPa (Tsat = 372.8 K) is compressed adiabatically to
300 kPa. If the compressor efficiency is 0.75, what is the work required?
(Data: for saturated steam at 100 kPa, S=7.3598 kJ/kg K, H=2675.4 kJ/kg
for super heated steam,, at 300 kPa, H=2888.8 kJ/kg)
(CO4)
4. a) Describe the steps involved in a carnot cycle
b) A particular power plant operates with a heat-source reservoir at 350 0C and a heat-
sink reservoir at 300C. It has a thermal efficiency equal to 55% of the carnot engine
efficiency for the same temperatures.
i) What is the thermal efficiency of the plant?
ii) To what temperature must the heat-source reservoir be raised to increase the
thermal efficiency for the same temperature

5. Discuss the working of absorption refrigeration unit with a neat diagram (CO4)
6. Write a detailed note on Claude Liquefaction Process (CO4)
