A new temperature scale in degrees N is to be defined. The boiling and freezing points of water on this scale are 400° N and 100° N, respectively. What will be the reading on new scale corresponding to 60° C?

Measurement of temperature is based on which law of thermodynamics?

A steam turbine receives steam steadily at 10 bar with an enthalpy of 3000 kj/kg and discharges at 1 bar with an enthalpy of 2700 kj/kg. The work output is 250 kJ/kg. The changes in kinetic and potential energies are negligible. The heat transfer from the turbine casing to the surroundings is equal to

A system undergoes a change of state during which 80 kJ of heat is transferred to it and it does 60 kj of work. The system is brought back to its original state through a process during which 100 kj of heat is transferred to it. The work done by the system is

The internal energy of a certain system is a function of temperature alone and is given by the formula E = 25 + 0.25^t kJ

The air with enthalpy of 100 kJ/kg is compressed by an air compressor to a pressure and temperature at which its enthalpy becomes 200 kJ/kg. The loss of heat is 40 kJ/kg from the compressor as the air passes through it. Neglecting the change in kinetic and potential energies, the power required for an air mass flow of 0.5 kg/s is
