#. What is meant by a reversible process? Explain it with the help of an example.
2. Differentiate between heat and work
3. tate !arnot"s theorem and prove it.
+. What are the practical difficulties associated with the use of ideal #as thermometer?
5. What is triple point? $or a pure substance how many de#rees of freedom are there at
triple point?
-. ketch the isenthalpic curves for a #as and show the inversion curve. What is the
si#nificance of %oule &'homson !oefficient?
.. A reversible heat en#ine has an efficiency of (.) when it absorbs *((k% of ener#y as
heat from a reservoir at +,-!.!alculate sink temperature and heat ener#y re.ected
to sink.

0b1A heat en#ine workin# on carnot cycle converts one fifth of heat in put into work.
When the temperature of the sink is reduced by <(C6 the efficiency #ets doubled.
=ake calculations for temperature of source and sink.
12. In a gas turbine installation air is heated inside heat exchanger upto
750C from ambient temperature of 27C. ot air then enters into gas
turbine !ith the "elocit# of 50 m$s and lea"es at %00C. &ir lea"ing
turbine enters a no''le at %0 m$s "elocit# and lea"es no''le at
temperature of 500C. (or unit mass )o! rate of air determine the
follo!ing assuming adiabatic expansion in turbine and no''le*
