8. All the energy relations satisfy the mathematical condition in thermodynamics.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: All the thermodynamic energy relations satisfy the mathematical condition of being a set of continuous variables. They are a function of state variables themselves.

9. The performance of a flow device is expressed in terms of _________
a) Adiabatic efficiency
b) Isentropic efficiency
c) Thermal efficiency
d) Mechanical efficiency
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The performance of a flow device is expressed in terms of its isentropic efficiency. The actual performance of the device is compared with that of its isentropic device. It happens at the same inlet and exit conditions.

10. Isentropic efficiency is defined as ________
a) The power output of actual turbine/ power output if the turbine were isentropic
b) The power input of actual turbine/ power output if the turbine were isentropic
c) The power output of actual turbine/ power output if the turbine were adiabatic
d) The power output of actual turbine/ power output if the turbine were polytropic
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The performance of a flow device is expressed in terms of its isentropic efficiency. The actual performance of the device is compared with that of its isentropic device. It happens at the same inlet and exit conditions.
