Engineering thermodynamics mcq part 4

1. Carnot cycle has maximum efficiency for.

reversible engine.

2. The entropy may be expressed as a function of.

pressure and temperature.

3. It is impossible to construct an engine working on a

cyclic process,

whose sole purpose is to convert heat energy into work.

4. Which of the following is the correct statement?

Irreversible engines have maximum efficiency.

5. A close cycle gas turbine gives higher efficiency as

compared to an.

open cycle gas turbine.

6. The calorific value of gaseous fuel is expressed in.

Kilojoule/meter3.

7. The throttling process is an.

irreversible steady flow expansion process.

Explanation’s:-
Throttling : The process in which a high pressure fluid is
converted to low pressure by by means of a throttle valve
is Throttling process. In the throttling process enthalpy
remain constant ,work done is 0(zero).

8. Kerosene is distilled at.

220° to 345°C.

9. The entropy of the universe is.

continually on the increase.

10. The atomic mass of Sulphur is.

32.
Explanation’s:-

The atomic mass of an atom will change depending on its

amount of protons and neutrons.

6. A cycle consisting of two isothermal and two isentropic

processes, is known as.

Carnot cycle.

7. The ideal efficiency of simple gas turbine cycle

depends upon.

pressure ratio.
8. A process, in which the working substance neither
receives nor gives out heat to its surroundings during its
expansion or compression, is called.

Adiabatic process.

Explanation’s:-

9. A cycle consisting of two constant pressure and two

isothermal processes is known as.

Ericsson cycle.
10. A process of heating crude oil to a high temperature
under a very high pressure to increase the yield of lighter
distillates, that is known as.

Cracking.

11. If in the equation pvn = C, the value of n = 1, then the

process is called.

isothermal process.

12. The specific volume of a system is an.

intensive property.

Explanation’s:-
intensive property that does not depend on the system
size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of
intensive properties include temperature, refractive
index, density, and hardness of an object , specific gravity
and specific heat. Intensive properties are those that do
not change as the size of an object changes.

13. Which of the following process can be made

reversible with the help of a regenerator?

Constant pressure process.

Constant volume process.
Constant pvn process.
all of these.

14. In an irreversible process, there is a.

loss of heat.

15. Coke is produced.

when coal is strongly heated continuously for 42 to 48

hours in the absence of air in a closed vessel.
