This set of Thermodynamics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Temperature-Entropy Plot”.

1. For a reversible heat transfer and process being adiabatic, which of the following is true?
a) dQ=0
b) dS=0
c) S=constant
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: dQ=0 since process is reversible and adiabatic and dS=dQ/T.

2. A reversible adiabatic process is an isentropic process.
a) true
b) false
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: dQ=0 and dS=0 and hence S=constant.
