a) Positive
b) Negative
c) Zero
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Work is done by the system.
3. _____________ is performed on a system when the fluid is pushed in to the system by the surrounding.
a) Mechanical work
b) Electrical work
c) Shaft work
d) Flow work
View Answer
Explanation: Flow work is performed on a system when the fluid is pushed in to the system by the surrounding.
4. In constant volume thermodynamic process work done is
a) Maximum
b) Minimum
c) Zero
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: W = P(V2-V1).
5. For any irreversible process, the net entropy change is
a) Positive
b) zero
c) negative
d) infinite
View Answer
Explanation: For any irreversible process, the net entropy change is Positive.
6. The intensive property of thermodynamics is
a) Density
b) Mass
c) Energy
d) Volume
View Answer
Explanation: Density does not depend on the amount of material present.
7. In an irreversible process, there is
a) gain of heat
b) loss of heat
c) no loss of heat
d) None of these
View Answer
Explanation: The process is irreversible so there is a loss of heat.
8-10. An ideal gas is enclosed at 200 K and 100 KPa in a cylinder by a frictionless vessel and the gas slowly forces the piston so that the volume of gas
