Questions With Verified Answers
\.T/F: A reversible process returns the working fluid to its initial state. - Answer-✔False
\.T/F: Entropy generation is a property. - Answer-✔False
\.T/F: An isentropic process is an ideal process with no heat transfer. - Answer-✔True
\.T/F: The purpose of a refrigerator is to remove heat from a high-temperature area. - Answer-
✔False
\.T/F: The second law of thermodynamics states that all real processes must occur in the
direction that generates entropy. - Answer-✔True
\.What classifies a reversible process? - Answer-✔Realistically impossible, must have zero
entropy increase/generation. Typically the system must be in equilibrium with its surroundings.
\.What makes something a property? - Answer-✔Can be either intensive or extensive.
Property is something such as mass, temperature, volume, or pressure.
\.What makes something an "ideal" process? - Answer-✔a process whose direction can be
"reversed" by inducing infinitesimal changes to some property of the system via its
surroundings, while not increasing entropy
