1. The temperature T on a thermometric scale is defined in terms of a property P by the relation


T = a×lnP + b. Where a and b are constants. The values of P are found to be 2.5 and 5 at the ice
point and the steam point, the temperatures of which are assigned the numbers 32 and 212 in
Fahrenheit scale respectively. Determine the temperature corresponding to a reading of P equal
to 7.5 on the thermometer.

2. The temperature T on a thermometric scale is defined as T=(alnλ)+b, where a and b are


constants. The values of λ are found to be 2.5 and 5 at 0oC and 100oC respectively. Calculate the
temperature of the thermometer for a value thermometric property λ=7.5.
3. The readings TA and TB of two thermometers of A and B agree at ice point and steam point
and are related by equation TA= xTB2 +yTB + z between these temperatures where x, y, and z are
constant both are immersed in oil A reads 51°C and B reads 50°C. Determine the reading on A,
when B reads 25°C.

4. The temperature inside the quartz beaker (TQB) is monitored using an analogue thermometer
while a sludge containing reduced graphene oxide (rGO), 0.5M sulphuric acid (H2SO4), and
1.5% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution is ultrasonically sonicated using the following law:
TQB = [α(lnℷ)+β+Tγ]
Where, TQB and ℷ are temperature inside the quartz beaker, and wavelength of the ultrasonic
transducer. The values of α, and β are found to be ultrasonic frequency constant of the device
under various environmental circumstances. The value of Tγ was assumed as preheating
temperature constant. It was anticipated that the preheating temperature constant i.e. Tγ, was
fixed at 50 °C and would remain constant throughout the sonication process. The value of ℷ is
found to be 18.393 and 50 at the ice point and at the steam point in oC (centigrade) scale.
Estimate the final temperature within the quartz beaker when the value of ℷ is found to be 40.94.

5. A gas undergoes a reversible non-flow process according to the relation P=(50-15V) where V
is the volume in m3 and p is the pressure in bar. Determine the work done when the volume
changes from 2 to 4 m3.

6. The properties of a closed system change following the relation between pressure and volume
as pV = 3.0 where p is in bar V is in m3. Calculate the work done when the pressure increases
from 1.5 bar to 7.5 bar.

7. A fluid at a pressure of 3 bar, and with specific volume of 0.18 m3/kg, contained in a cylinder
𝐶
behind a piston expands reversibly to a pressure of 0.6 bar according to a law, p = , where C is
𝑉2
a constant. Calculate the work done by the fluid on the piston.

8. To a closed system 150 kJ of work is supplied. If the initial volume is 0.6 m3 and pressure of
the system changes as p = 8 – 4V, where p is in bar and V is in m3, determine the final volume
and pressure of the system.
9. In an internal combustion engine, during the compression stroke the heat rejected to the
cooling water is 50 kJ/kg and the work input is 100 kJ/kg. Calculate the change in internal
energy of the working fluid stating whether it is a gain or loss.

10. A piston and cylinder machine contains a fluid system which passes through a complete
cycle of four processes. During a cycle, the sum of all heat transfers is -340 kJ. The system
completes 200 cycles per minutes. Compute the following table showing the method for each
item, and calculate the net rate of work output in kw.

I-II 0 4340 …………
II-III 42000 0 …………
III-IV -4200 ………… -73200
IV-I ………… ………… …………
11. A fluid system, contained in a piston and cylinder machine, passes through a complete cycle
of five processes. The sum of all heat transferred during a cycle is “150 kJ”. The system
completes “100 cycle/sec”. (i) Complete the following table showing the method for each
process (ii) Calculate the net rate of work output in kJ/sec.

12. In a cyclic process, the heat transfers are +16.7 kJ, -25.2 kJ, -3.56 kJ and +31.5 kJ. What is
the net work for this cyclic process?

13. A chilled water of 15 kg/sec enters the system for air conditioning a tall building with a
velocity of 60 m/s at a height of 40 m from the ground. The water leaves the system with a
velocity of 20 m/s at a height of 70 m. The enthalpies of water entering in and leaving out are 30
KJ/kg and 50 KJ/kg respectively. The rate of workdone by a pump in the line is 40 KW. Find out
the rate at which heat is removed from the building.
Solution:
Given from the question
Mass, m=15 kg/s; Workdone, W=-40 KW
From the SFEE
m[(h1+(C12/2)+gz1)]+Q(1-2)= m[(h2+(C22/2)+gz2)]+W(1-2)
Q(1-2)= m[(h2+(C22/2)+gz2)]+W(1-2)- m[(h1+(C12/2)+gz1)]
Q(1-2)=m(h2- h1)+m((C22- C12)/2)+mg(z2-z1)+ W(1-2)
Q(1-2)=15 (50-30)+15((202-602)/2)/1000+15*9.81((70-40)/1000)-40
Q(1-2)=240.4145 kw=Rate of heat removal
