Answer the following Questions
Question (1):

1kg of air undergoes a thermodynamic cycle consisting of three processes:

Process 1-2 : Constant pressure to temperature of 200 0C, change in enthalpy=77 kj/kg .
Process 2-3: Change in internal energy is equal to -40 kj/kg, no heat is supplied to the air.
Process 3-1: Polytropically, initially at pressure 20 bar, work done on the air is 15 kj/kg.
a) sketch the cycle on a p-v diagram, put the arrows on the cycle
b) Calculate the net work for the cycle
c) Calculate the net heat for the cycle.

Question (2)

a. A refrigerator absorbs 5.0 kJ of heat from a cold reservoir and releases 8.0 kJ to a hot reservoir.
Find the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator.

b. Write down the second law of thermodynamics in the form of Clausius’s statement.

c. An engine does 17600J of work and rejects 5740J of heat into a cold reservoir whose temperature
is 290K. What would be the temperature of the hot reservoir?

Constants:
Universal gas constant = 8.315 J/mol.K
Specific gas constant for air= 0.287 kj/kgK
Specific heat capacity at constant volume for air= 0.718 kj/kgK
Specific heat capacity at constant pressure for air= 1.005 kj/kgK

Good Luck
