CHAPTER 11

----------------------------------

Dear friends hope that you are practicing well.

Now I am providing you with the solutions of chapter 11(Thermodynamic Relations)

Before I start providing you the solutions I would like to give a brief introduction of chapter.

This chapter talks of Maxwell's Relations, TdS relations, Cp-Cv relations, Energy equations, Joule-Kelvin Effect and Clausius-Clapreyon equation.

Dear friends for a quick review of what I said above you can click the videos below where I am giving a  quick review of Thermodynamic Relations chapter.


So let us start solving problems:
(NOTE: I have solved only those problems which I feel Important for GATE and ESE examination.)

This is all I have to say on this chapter. These problems are of 4th edition. 

One more thing I want to say ( which I have also mentioned in previous post) that please do not follow the solutions blindly. Firstly try yourself and if find difficulty in solving, then only look the solutions.

After few days I will be publishing next chapter solutions so stay connected.

your comments are valuable to me, so please do write them. If any problem in any solution then also let me know.

Thankyou

All the Best.

CHAPTER 7

-------------------

Dear friends hope that you are practicing well.

Now I am providing you with the solutions of chapter 7(Entropy)

Before I start providing you the solutions I would like to give a brief introduction of chapter.

In this chapter you have studied about how the concept of entropy came into existence. You have studied Clausius inequality and developed the notion of isentropic process. You have studied about the Principle of increase of Entropy and how entropy increase principle be helpful to know whether a certain process is possible or not. The very important concept of this chapter is the entropy generation so you have also studied about with respect to both closed and open system. You have also studied the equations when first and second law is combined. At last you have studied about reversible adiabatic work in a steady flow system.

Dear friends for a quick review of what I said above you can click the videos below where I am giving a  quick review of Second law of thermodynamics.

So let us start solving problems:

  This is the problem which kept me occupied for many years but last to last year when I was teaching in class, all of a sudden an idea strikes me that why not solve this problem with a different approach and the result of that idea is below. please be careful this is one the toughest problem of this book.

This is all I have to say on this chapter. These problems are of 4th edition.
