During the working stroke of an engine the heat transferred out of the system was 150 kJ/kg of the working substance. Determine the work done when the internal energy is decreased by 400 kJ/kg. Also state whether the ...Read more
A gas whose original pressure, volume and temperature were 140 kN/m3, 0.1 m3 and 25°C respectively is compressed such that new pressure is 700 kN/m2 and its new temperature is 60°C. Determine the new volume of the gas.
A Van der Waals gas is compressed reversibly at constant temperature from volume V1 to V2. The equation of state is given by mole by p = Determine the work done per mole of ...Read more
25 people attended a farewell party in a small room of size 10 m × 8 m and has a 5 m ceiling. Each person gives up about 350 kJ of heat per hour. Assuming the room is ...Read more
During summer season, a room measuring 10 × 13 × 6 m³ is cooled electrically from initial temperature 28°C to 2°C. The air pressure inside the room is same as surroundings and is equal to 72 cm of Hg. ...Read more
