2. a) What is first law of thermodynamics? Apply it to a flow process with a neat sketch. 5 Marks
b) Steam flows at steady state through a converging, insulated nozzle, 25 cm long and with 6 Marks
an inlet diameter of 5 cm. At the nozzle entrance (state 1), the temperature and pressure
are 598.15 K (3250C) and 700 kPa, and the velocity is 30 m/s. At the nozzle exit (state 2),
the steam temperature and pressure are 513.15 K (2400C) and 350 kPa. Property values are :

b) A reversible cycle executed by 1 mol of an ideal gas for which Cp=(5/2)R and Cv=(3/2)R 7 Marks
consists of the following:
Starting at T1=700K and P1=1.5 bar, the gas is cooled at constant pressure to T2=350K.
From 350K and 1.5 bar, the gas is compressed isothermally to pressure P2.
The gas returns to its initial state along a path for which PT=constant.
What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
6. a) What is throttling? Apply energy balance to steady state throttle valve. 4 Marks
b) Nitrogen gas initially at 8.5 bar expands isentropically to 1 bar and 423.15 K (1500C). 7 Marks
Assuming nitrogen to be an ideal gas, calculate the initial temperature and the work
produced per mole of nitrogen.
