a. Explain the First Law of Thermodynamics and how it is expressed in terms of balance
of energy in a flow and non-flow process.
b. In a closed system, one kilogramme of air initially at 1 bar and 27°C is compressed
adiabatically to 30 bar and then expanded isothermally back to its original volume.
i. Determine the net work done.
ii. Show the processes on the p-v diagram.
c. In a gas turbine plant, mass flow rate of the gases flow through the turbine is 20 kg/s
and the power developed by the turbine is 16,400 kW. The enthalpy of the gases at
the inlet and at the outlet are 1200 kJ/kg and 360 kJ/kg respectively. The velocity of
the gases at the inlet and at the outlet are 60 m/s and 150 m/s respectively.
i. Calculate the rate at which heat is rejected from the turbine.
ii. Determine the area of the inlet pipe given that the specific volume of the
gases at inlet is 0.3 m/kg.
