This document contains 8 questions for a Thermodynamics-II laboratory assignment due on July 2nd, 2020. The questions ask about ideal gases, reversible and irreversible processes giving examples, why specific heat at constant pressure is greater than at constant volume, the relationships between heat, internal energy and thermal energy, quasi-equilibrium processes and their importance, why engineers are interested in reversible processes, and the differences between normal and unconstrained gas expansion and factors that cause irreversible processes.

Q. 1 Why air is consider as an ideal gas. Explain with reason?
Q. 2 What is reversible process and how it differs from irreversible process? Give at least one example of both process occurring in our daily life? Q. 3 Why specific heat at constant pressure is always greater than specific heat at constant volume. Explain with reason and example? Q. 4 How heat, internal energy, thermal energy relate to each other? Q. 5 What is a quasi-equilibrium process? What is its importance in engineering? Q. 6 Why engineers are interested in reversible process? Give reasons? Q. 7 What is the difference between NORMAL EXPANSION of a gas and UNRESTRAINED EXPANSION? Q. 8 What are the factors that cause a process to be irreversible? Name any four
