Question Paper
1. Answer any three parts
State the assumptions of kinetic theory for ideal gases.
What is Joule-Thomson effect? Why is it also called is enthalpic effect? Justify your answer.
A quantity of dry air 1.4) at 15°C is adiabatically compressed to half its volume. Calculate the final temperature.
Show that entropy S and thermodynamic probability W for a completely ordered system is S =kln W.
2. Show that a gaseous system can be characterised by the relation
dv/v BdT-k dp
where k is isothermal compressibility and B is isobaric expansivity.
OR
Define entropy. Calculate the change in entropy when two gases kept in separate containers are allowed to mix.
3. Attempt any two parts:
What is an adiabatic process? Show that the work done during an adiabatic process is
W
State Kelvin-Planck and Clausius statements of second law of thermodynamics. Show that these two statements are equivalent.
Write Van der Waals equation of state for a real gas. Show that the Boyle's temperature is related to critical temperature through the relation TB 3·375 Tc
4. What is Gibbs paradox? Derive Sackur-Tetrode equation for the entropy of an ideal monoatomic gas and show how it is free from Gibbs paradox.
OR
What is adiabatic demagnetisation Describe an experimental set-up for production of low temperature using this process.
The energy distribution of black body radiation according to Planck's law is given by
