3 2
thermodynamics
Prove the equivalence of Kelvin Planks and Clausius 2
4
statements of second law of thermodynamics
A household refrigerator with a COP of 1.2 removes heat from the
refrigerated space at a rate of 60 kJ/min. Determine (a) the electric 3
5
power consumed by the refrigerator and (b) the rate of heat
transfer to the kitchen air. (Answers:(a) 0.83 kW, (b) 110 kJ/min)
A refrigerator has a COP of 1.5. That is, the refrigerator removes 1.5
kWh of energy from the refrigerated space for each 1 kWh of
6 3
electricity it consumes. Is this a violation of the first law of
thermodynamics? Explain.
A heat pump that is used to heat a house has a COP of 2.5.
That is, the heat pump delivers 2.5 kWh of energy to the house
7 3
for each 1 kWh of electricity it consumes. Is this a violation of
the first law of thermodynamics? Explain.

process. Draw P-V and TS diagram.
12 1 kg of air at a pressure of 8 bar and a temperature of 1000 C 2
undergoes a reversible polytropic process following the law PV 1.2 =
C. If the final pressure is 1.8 bar. Determine: (i) The final specific
volume, temperature and increase in entropy; (ii) The work done
and the heat transfer. Assume R=0.287 kJ/kgK and γ=1.4.
A gas occupies a volume of 0.1 m 3 at a temp of 20°C and a press of
13 1.5 bar. Find the final temp of the gas if it is compressed to a press
