SECTION-B
11. State the difference between extensive, intensive and specific properties of a
thermodynamic system.
12. Write the comparison between Macroscopic and Microscopic approach.
13. An ideal gas requires 1150 kJ/kg of heat to raise its temperature from 20°C to 100°C when
heated at constant pressure. When heat is supplied to the same gas at constant volume, the
heat requirement is 825 kJ for the same temperature range. Determine the specific heat at
constant pressure, specific heat at constant volume, adiabatic exponent, characteristic gas
constant and the molecular mass of gas.
14. Define entropy and show change in entropy in an irreversible process.
