SE
b) What is the difference between the work transfer and heat transfer? [3]
c) What is PMM-I. Justify with reason whether it is feasible or not? [2]

2.a) Explain the concept of ideal gas temperature scale.
b) A milk chilling unit can remove heat from the milk at a rate of 41.87 MJ/H. Heat leaking
into milk from surroundings at an average rate of 4.187 MJ/h. Find the time required for
20
cooling a batch of 500 kg of milk from 450C to 50C. Take the CP of milk to be
4.187 kJ/kg K. [5+5]

3.a) Explain what do you understand by concept of continuum? How will you define density
and pressure using this concept?
8A
b) A balloon is filled with air (200kPa and 300K) such that it becomes as sphere of diameter
1m. It is then gradually heated till the pressure rises to 500 kPa. Determine the amount of
work done during the process, assuming that the pressure inside the balloon is
proportional to the diameter of the balloon. [5+5]

4.a) Is the Third law of thermodynamics, an extension of second law? Is it an independent law
of nature? Explain.
b) Two bodies of equal heat capacities C and temperatures T1 and T2 form an adiabatically
closed system. What will be the final temperature be if one lets this system come to
equilibrium (i) freely; (ii) reversibly. [5+5]
OR
5.a) Discuss about Clausius Inequality.
b) One kg of ice at -50C is exposed to the atmosphere which is at 200C. Ice melts and comes
JN
into thermal equilibrium with the atmosphere. Determine the entropy increase of the
universe. [5+5]
