    THERMODYNAMICS
    (Only ME)
    Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 70
    Answer any five Questions one Question from Each Unit
    All Questions Carry Equal Marks
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    UNIT-I
    1 a) Explain in detail the working of constant volume gas thermometer. (7M)
    b) Show that work is a path function and not a property. (7M)
    Or
    2 a) Explain what you understand by (i) Macroscopic and Microscopic view points; (7M)
    (ii) Thermodynamic Equilibrium.
    b) A fluid contained in a horizontal cylinder fitted with a frictionless leak proof (7M)
    piston, is continuously agitated by means of a stirrer passing through the cylinder
    cover. The cylinder diameter is 0.4 m. During the stirring process lasting 10
    minutes, the piston slowly moves out a distance of 0.485 m against the
    atmosphere. The net work done by the fluid during the process is 2 kJ. The speed
    of the electric motor driving the stirrer is 840 rpm. Determine the torque in the
    shaft and power output of the motor.
    UNIT-II
    3 A fluid system, contained in a piston and cylinder machine, passes through a (14M)
    complete cycle of four processes. The sum of all heat transferred during a cycle
    is -170 kJ. The system completes 100 cycles per minute. Complete the following
    table showing the method for each item and compute the net rate of work output
    in kW.

    Or
    4 a) Show that energy is a property of a system. (7M)
    b) A fluid contained in a cylinder receives 150 kJ of mechanical energy by means of (7M)
    a paddle wheel, together with 50 kJ in the form of heat. At the same time, the
    piston in the cylinder moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant at
    200 kN/m2 during the fluid expansion from 2 m3 to 5 m3. What is the change in
    internal energy and in enthalpy?
    UNIT-III
    5 a) 1.2 m3 of air is heated reversibly at constant pressure from 300 K to 600 K and is (7M)
    then cooled reversibly at constant volume back to initial temperature. If the initial
    pressure is 1 bar, calculate the net heat flow and overall change in entropy. Take
    Cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK and R = 0.287 kJ/kgK.
    b) State and prove Clausius theorem. (7M)

    Or
    6 a) Define Carnot efficiency and which is the more effective way to increase the (8M)
    efficiency of a Carnot cycle: to increase T1 keeping T2 constant; or to decrease T2,
    keeping T1 constant? Where T1 is upper temperature and T2 is lower temperature.
    b) Discuss the significance of Gibbs and Helmholtz functions. (6M)
    UNIT-IV
    7 a) Write short notes on “Mollier diagram”. Why do isobars on the Mollier Diagram (7M)
    diverge from one another?
    b) Sample of steam from a boiler drum at 3 MPa is put through a throttling (7M)
    calorimeter in which pressure and temperature are found to be 0.1 MPa, 1200C.
    Find the quality of a sample taken from the boiler.
    Or
    8 a) Why cannot a throttling calorimeter measure the quality if the steam is very wet? (7M)
    How is the quality measured then?
    b) A pressure cooker holding 2 kg of steam at 5 bar and 90% dry is being cooled (7M)
    slowly. What quantity of heat has to be extracted so as to reduce the steam quality
    down to 60%? Also calculate the pressure and temperature of the steam that
    remains in the pressure cooker after the heat rejection.
    UNIT-V
    9 a) Explain Dalton’s law of partial pressures. (7M)
    3 0
    b) 100m of air per min at 40 C DBT and 15% relative humidity is passed through (7M)
    adiabatic humidifier. The air is coming out at 250C DBT and 200C WBT. Find: i)
    Dew Point Temperature ii) Relative Humidity iii) Water carried by the air per min.
    Or
    10 a) Explain the following: (7M)
    i) Heating and dehumidification
    ii) Cooling and dehumidification.
    b) Air at 200C, 40% RH is mixed adiabatically with air at 400C, 40% RH in the ratio (7M)
    of 1 kg of former with 2 kg of the latter (on dry basis). Find the final condition of
    air.
