Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 3

If a heat engine attains 100% thermal efficiency, it violates

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 3

Such a heat engine is PMM2 which is impossible. It violates kelvin-Plank statement

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 4

A refrigerator and a heat pump operate between the same temperature limits. If the COP of the refrigerator is 4, the COP of the heat pump would be

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 4

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 5

A condenser of a refrigeration system rejects heat at a rate of 120 kW, while its compressor consumes a power of 30 kW. The coefficient of performance of the system would be

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 5

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 6

If the temperature of the source is increased keeping sink temperature fixed, the efficiency of the Carnot engine

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 6

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 7

An industrial heat pump operates between the temperatures of 27°C and –13°C. The rates of heat addition and heat rejection are 750 W and 1000 W, respectively. The COP for the heat pump is

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 7

It may not be a reversible heat pump. So we use only heat data to get COP

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 8

The more effective way of increasing the efficiency of a Carnot engine is to

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 8

(decreasing lower temperature by ΔT)

(increasing higher temperature by ΔT)

So, the more effective way to increase the cycle efficiency is to decrease lower temperature.

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 9

A Carnot engine operates between reservoirs at 20°C and 200°C. If 10 kW of power is produced, the rejected heat rate is nearest

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 9

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 10

An inventor invents a thermal engine that operates between ocean layers at 27°C and 10°C. It produces 10 kW and discharges 9900 kJ/min of heat. Such an enigne is

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 10

Actual efficiency is more than the 2nd law efficiency which is impossible.

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 11

If the time taken by a system to execute a process through a finite gradient is infinitely large, the process

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 12

“Heat cannot be transported from a system at low temperature to another system at high temperature without the aid of external agency”. This statement of second law is attributed to

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 13

The heat removal rate from a refrigerated space and the power input to the compressor are 7.2 kW and 1.8 kW, respectively. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigerator is .


Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 13

Heat removal rate, Q2 = 7.2 kW

Power input to the compressor W = 1.8 kW

The coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigerator can be calculated using the relation 

Hence the correct answer is 4.0

Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 14

Any thermodynamic cycle operating between two temperature limits is reversible if the product of the efficiency when operating as a heat engine and the COP when operating as a refrigerator is equal to 1.

Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 14

For reversible engine,

 

For reversible refrigerator

.

Hence, product for reversible thermodynamic cycle is not equal to 1.

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 15

A Carnot engine (CE-1) works between two temperature reservoirs A and B, where TA = 900 K and TB = 500 K. A second Carnot engine (CE-2) works between temperature reservoirs B and C, where TC = 300 K. In each cycle CE-1 and CE-2, all the heat rejected by CE-1 to reservoir B is used by CE-2. For one cycle of operation, if the net Q absorbed by CE-1 from reservoir A is 150 MJ, the net heat rejected to reservoir C by CE-2 (in MJ) is .


Detailed Solution for Test: Second Law of Thermodynamics - 1 - Question 15

For CE1:

For CE2:

Hence, the correct answer is 50.
