Question: For questions 1 a - 1 j , circle either True or False to indicate the validity of the statement. 1 a . True /

For questions 1a-1j, circle either True or False to indicate the validity of the statement.
1a. True/False: The Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics asserts that: It is impossible for any system to operate in such a way that the sole result would be an energy transfer by heat from a cooler to a hotter body.
1b. True/False: For a closed system, it is impossible for a decrease in entropy to occur during an adiabatic process
1c. True/False: Entropy production signifies a process is reversible.
1d. True/False: The Clausius inequality cannot be applied to cycles.
1e. True/False: The thermal efficiency of different reversible power cycles operating between the same two thermal reservoirs is always different.
1f. True/False: A Carnot cycle is a reversible cycle consisting of four process that alternate between isentropic and isochoric.
1g. True/False: An irreversible power cycle and a reversible power cycle are operating between the same two thermal energy reservoirs. It is possible for the irreversible cycle to output a larger magnitude of power than the reversible cycle.
1h. True/False: It is impossible for an expansion valve to operate isentropically. In other words, it is impossible for unrestrained expansion of a vapor/gas to occur reversibly.
1i. True/False: The SI units for entropy are kJK and for specific entropy are kJkg-K
1j. True/False: A single thermal energy reservoir could serve as a heat source for once cycle and a heat sink for another.
For questions 1 a - 1 j , circle either True or
