2. Define extensive property. Nov/Dec-2013
The properties which are dependent on the mass of the system are called extensive
rin
properties. Example: Total energy, Total volume, weight etc.

3. Define: Thermodynamic Equilibrium. May/June-2014
gin
A system will be in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium, if the conditions for the
following three types of equilibrium are satisfied.
En
The quantities which are independent on the process or path followed by the
system is known as point functions.
ww
The quantities which are dependent on the process or path followed by the system
is known as path functions.
i) Both work and heat are directional quantities because both have magnitude
and direction in relation to whether the energy is entering or leaving the system.
ii) Both are boundary phenomenon because they are only recognised when
energy crosses the system boundary.
iii) According to the second law of thermodynamics statements, a system
processes energy.
iv) Both work and heat are associated with a process as the system follows a
n
path from state to another state.
g.i
v) Both work and heat are path functions
rin
6. Compare heat transfer with work transfer Nov/Dec-2014
ee
Heat is a form of energy in transit. It is a boundary phenomenon, since it occurs only
at the boundary of a system. Energy transfer by virtue of temperature difference
gin
only is called heat transfer. All other energy interactions may be termed as work
transfer.
En
7. State the first law for a closed system undergoing a process and a cycle.
arn
April/May-2015
First law of thermodynamics states that when system undergoes a cyclic process
Le
Zeroth law of thermodynamics states that when two systems are separately in
thermal equilibrium with a third systems, then they themselves are in thermal
equilibrium with each other. It is a base for temperature measurement.

measurement of temperature. April/May-2015

In thermodynamics, Work is said to be done by a system if the sole effect on things
external to the system can be reduced to the raising of a weight.

The Gibbs phase rule describes the degrees of freedom (F) available to describe a
particular system with various phases and species. This will depend on the number
of chemical species, C, and number of phases, P, present. In the absence of chemical
reaction, the Gibbs phase rule is simply:
F=2+C-P
For a pure substance (C=1), the Gibbs phase rule can be applied as follows:

Reheat cycle: In reheat cycle, the steam after expansion in a high pressure turbine
is brought back to the boiler and reheated by the combustion gasses and then fed
ww
back to the low pressure turbine for further expansion. This increases the mean
temperature of heat addition. Higher the mean temperature higher will be the cycle
efficiency. The purpose of a reheating cycle is to remove the moisture carried by the
steam at the final stages of the expansion process.
56
Regeneration cycle: In regenerative Rankine cycle, the condensate water from the
condenser is heated by the steam extracted from the intermediate stages of turbine
Therefore the feedwater entering the boiler is preheated. This increases the work
output and hence improves the thermal efficiency of the system.

The state changes of water upon slow heating at different constant pressures are
shown on the T-s diagrams at different pressure levels. If the heating of ice at

passing through the 2, 3 points is called fusion curve, and the curve passing through
the 4,5 points (which indicate the vaporisation or condensation at different
temperatures and pressures) is called vaporisation curve. If the vapour pressure of a

7. Deduce the expression for Joule Thomson co efficient and draw the
inversion curve. (NOV/DEC 2014, NOV/DEC 2016)
Let us consider the partial differential co-efficient (∂T/∂P)h We know that if a fluid is
flowing through a pipe, and the pressure is reduced by a throttling process, the
enthalpies on either side of the restriction may be equal.
The throttling process is illustrated in Fig. 7.3 (a). The velocity increases at the
restriction, with a consequent decrease of enthalpy, but this increase of kinetic
87
energy is dissipated by friction, as the eddies die down after restriction. The steady-
flow energy equation implies that the enthalpy of the fluid is restored to its initial
value if the flow is adiabatic and if the velocity before restriction is equal to that
downstream of it. These conditions are very nearly satisfied in the following
experiment which is usually referred to as the Joule-Thomson experiment.

By keeping the upstream pressure and temperature constant at p1 and T1, the
En
must always have the same value of the enthalpy, namely the value of the enthalpy
corresponding to the state defined by p1 and T1. From these results, points
Le
represent the throttling process itself, which is irreversible. During the actual
ww
process, the fluid undergoes first a decrease and then an increase of enthalpy, and
no single value of the specific enthalpy can be ascribed to all elements of the fluid. If
the experiment is repeated with different values of p1 and T1, a family of curves
may be obtained (covering a range of values of enthalpy) as shown in figure. The
slope of a curve at any point in the field is a function only of the state of the The
slope of a curve in figure shown above at any point in the field is a function only of
the state of the fluid, it is the Joule-Thomson co-efficient μ, defined by μ =(∂T/∂P)h
88
The change of temperature due to a throttling process is small and, if the fluid is a
gas, it may be an increase or decrease. At any particular pressure there is a
temperature, the temperature of inversion, above which a gas can never be cooled
by a throttling process. Both cp and μ, as it may be seen, are defined in terms of p, T
and h. The third partial differential co-efficient based on these three properties is
given as follows :
