Consider a fully adiabatic piston-cylinder arrangement as shown in the figure. The piston is massless and cross-sectional area of the cylinder is A. The fluid inside the cylinder i...

A polytropic process is carried out from an initial pressure of 110 kPa and volume of 5 m 3 to a final volume of 2.5 m 3 . The polytropic index is given by n = 1.2. The absolute va...

A mass m of a perfect gas at pressure p₁ and volume V₁ undergoes an isothermal process. The final pressure is p₂ and volume is V₂. The work done on the system is considered positiv...

A mass $$m$$ of a perfect gas at pressure $${p_1}$$ and volume $${V_1}$$ undergoes an isothermal process. The final pressure is $${p_2}$$ and volume is $${V_2}.$$ The work done on...

An ideal gas undergoes a reversible process in which the pressure varies linearly with volume. The conditions at the start (subscript $$1$$) and at the end (subscript $$2$$) of the...

Work is done on an adiabatic system due to which its velocity changes from $$10$$ $$m/s$$ to $$20$$ $$m/s,$$ elevation increases by $$20$$ $$m$$ and temperature increases by $$1$$...

A cylinder contains $$5\,\,{m^3}$$ of an ideal gas at a pressure of $$1$$ bar. This gas is compressed in a reversible isothermal process till its pressure increases to $$5$$ bar. T...

A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains a gas initially at $$0.8MPa$$ and $$0.015$$ $${m^3}.$$ It expands quasi-statically at constant temperature to a final volume of $$0.0...

Nitrogen gas (molecular weight $$28$$) is enclosed in a cylinder by a piston, at the initial condition of $$2$$ bar, $$298$$ $$K$$ and $$1\,\,{m^3}$$. In a particular process, the...

A cyclic heat engine does $$50$$ $$kJ$$ of work per cycle. If the efficiency of the heat engine is $$75\% $$, then heat rejected per cycle is

The following data pertain to a single stage impulse steam turbine: Nozzle angle $$=$$ $${20^ \circ };$$ Blade velocity $$= 200$$ $$m/s;$$ Relative steam velocity at entry $$= 350$...
