It is impossible to construct an engine that operate in a cycle
and produce no effect other than work output and exchange of heat
with a single heat reservoir.

at low temperature to another system at higher temperature without
any external aid.

A gas of mass 0.35 kg, pressure 1535 kN/m 2 and temperature
335ºC is expanded adiabatically to a pressure of 126 kN/m 2.
7a) The gas is then heated at constant volume until it reaches E C 2 1
335ºC, when the pressure is found to be 275 kN/m2. Finally the
gas is compressed isothermally until the original pressure of
 2535 kN/m2 obtained. Draw the P-V diagram and find out the
following (i) The value of adiabatic index. (ii) Change in
internal energy during adiabatic process. (iii) Heat transfer
during constant volume process. Take Cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK.

subsequently the air is cooled at constant pressure till the volume is
halved again. Sketch the process on a p-V plane and determine (i)
