An ideal gas with C = 1.5R undergoes the following mechanically reversible v changes in a series of non-flow processes as given below:

From an initial state of 70 °Cand 1 bar, it is compressed adiabatically to 150 °C.

It is then cooled from 150 °Cto 70 °Cat a constant pressure.

Finally the gas is expanded isothermally to its original state. Calculate Q,W, Uand Hfor each of the three processes and for the cycle.

Explain concept of Entropy in brief.

Discuss important properties of a refrigerant.

Explain Liquefaction of gas with T-Sdiagram?
