Process

Work transfer
kJ/min
34,200
-2,200
-3,000

Show that the data is consistent with the first law of

thermodynamics and calculate Net rate of work output in MW

b) What is polytropic process? How the change in enthalpy is
calculated in this process.
(OR)
c) 25 Peoples attended the farewell party in small size room
10 x 8m and has a 5m ceiling. Each person gives up about
350 kJ of heat / hour. Assuming that the room is completely
sealed off and insulated, calculate the air temperature
rise occurring within 10 minutes. Assume Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K,
Cv = 0.718 kJ/kg K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg K and each person
occupies a volume of 0.05m3
d) What is isentropic process? How the work done is calculated
in this process.
