A 30 m high vertical column of a fluid of density 1878 kglm3 exists in a place where g 9·65 m/s^2. What is the pressure at the base of the column?

A reversible heat engine operating between two reservoirs at t1 and t2 has an efficiency of 70%. A manufacturer of heat engines claims that he has designed an engine which when operating between the above two temperatures develops 80 kJ of work when supplied with 100 kJ ofheat from the reservoir at tr Evaluate the validity of his claim.

State and explain the first law of thermodynamics for a closed system undergoing a change of state.

What is a PMM1 Why is it impossible?

A mass of 1·5 kg of air is compressed in a quasi-static process frOIn 0·1 MPa to 0.7 MPa for which pv constant. The initial density of the air is 1·16 kglm3. Find the work done by the piston to compress the air.

A domestic refrigerator is loaded with food and the door is dosed. During a certain period the machine consumes 1 kWh of energy and the internal energy of the system drops by 5000 kJ. Find the net heat. transfer for the system.

State and explain the Clausius' statement of the second law of thermodynamics.

A cyclic heat engine operates between a source temperature of 800°C and a sink temperature of 30°C. What is the least rate of heat rejection per kW net output of the engine?

Draw and explain the p-V or T-s diagram of an ideal working fluid in a vapour power cycle.
