Open questionCHMCQ2 marksNeeds review
A pure gas obeys the equation of state given by
where
is the pressure,
is the absolute temperature,
is the molar volume of the gas,
is the universal gas constant, and
is a parameter independent of
and
. The residual molar Gibbs energy,
, of the gas is given by the relation
where
is the compressibility factor and the integral is evaluated at constant
. If the value of
is
, the residual molar enthalpy (in J mol
) of the gas at 100 kPa and 300 K isYour answerChoose one option.

Open questionCHMCQ2 marksNeeds review
Consider one mole of an ideal gas in a closed system. It undergoes a change in state from L to N through two different non-isothermal processes, as shown in the P-V diagram (where
is the pressure and
is the molar volume of the gas). Process I is carried out in a single step, namely LN, whereas process II is carried out in two steps, namely LM and MN. All the steps are reversible.The net heat flowing into the system for process I is
, and that for process II is
. The value of
(in J) is

Open questionCHNAT2 marksNeeds review
A fluid is heated from 40 °C to 60 °C in a countercurrent, double pipe heat exchanger. Hot fluid enters at 100 °C and exits at 70 °C. The log mean temperature difference, i.e. LMTD (in °C), is __________ (round off to 2 decimal places).
