(a) A gas whose pressure, volume and temperature are 5 bar, 0.23
m3 and 185 C respectively, has its state change at constant
pressure until its temperature becomes 70 C. Calculate (i)Work 13 CO1 K3
done (ii) Change in Internal energy (iii) Heat transferred during the
process. Take R=0.29 kJ/kgK and Cp= 1.005 kJ/kgK. (or)

(b) 5 kg of a gas was heated from a temperature of 100 C at
constant volume till its pressure becomes three times its original
pressure. For this process calculate (i) Heat transferred (ii) Change 13 CO1 K3
in internal energy and (iii) Change in enthalpy. Assume Cp=1 kJ/kgK
and Cv=0.71 kJ/kgK.

7 (a) A fluid system, contained in a piston and cylinder 02 CO1 K3

machine,passes through a complete cycle of four processes. The
sum of all heat transferred during a cycle is -340 KJ. The system
completes 200 cycles per min.

Complete the above table showing the method for each item, and
 compute the net rate of work output in KW. (or)

(b) Determine the heat transfer and its direction for a system in
which a perfect gas having molecular weight of 6 is compressed
from 101.3 kPa, 20 °C to a pressure of 600 kPa following the law 02 CO1 K3
pv1.3=constant. Take specific heat at constant pressure of gas
as 1.7 kJ/kgK.

(a) The initial volume of 0.18 kg of a certain gas was 0.15 m3 and at
a temperature of 150C and a pressure of 100 kN/m2. After
adiabatic compression the pressure and volume was found to be
400 kN/m2 and 0.056 m3.Apply first law of thermodynamics to find
