Note: Answer any seven questions. All questions carry equal marks. Use of scientific calculator, Steam tables, MoUier diagram are permitted. Assume mi$sing data, if any.

1. Explain Kelvin-Planck Statement of Second Law of Thermodynamics. What do you understand by System, Surroundings and Boundary Explain with diagram.

2. A piston cylinder device containing a gas has a piston mass of 60 kg and a cross-sectional area of 0.04 m^2. The local atmospheric pressure is 0.97 bar.

Determine the pressure inside the cylinder.

If some heat is transferred to the gas and its volume doubles, do you expect the pressure inside the cylinder to change? 10

3. Derive an expression of thermal efficiency for Carnot cycle showing all the processes on p-V diagram. 10
