(20 points) 1. When an open system undergoes a process between two

Q1: Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. Explain. (20 points) 1. When an open system undergoes a process between two specified states, the change in pressure between the end states is dependent of details of the process. 2. The Kelvin degree is a larger temperature unit than the Rankine degree and both scales are considered as an absolute one. 3. A cycle where energy is transferred by heat into the system undergoing the cycle from the cold body and energy is transferred by heat from the system to the hot body is called a heat pump cycle. 4. Heat and work are the same in which they are a quantity but they differ in their sign convention and units. 5. The rate of heat transfer at steady state by conduction through a plane wall is greater if the wall is fabricated from brick than from limestone, assuming the same wall area and temperature gradient. 6. A process will not occur unless it satisfies the first law of thermodynamic or the second law of thermodynamics. 7. The particular substance that exhibits changes in the thermometric property (no change of property with temperature) is called a thermometric substance. 8. An isenthalpic process is a process that proceeds without any change internal energy, U; or specific enthalpy, h. 9. For any simple compressible systems, open or closed, any two independent extensive thermodynamic properties can fix the state. 10. For a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture has a quality of 0.5, it means the mass of saturated liquid is equal the volume saturated vapor. 11. Equality of total incoming and outgoing rates of mass flow necessarily implies that a control volume system is at steady state. 12. There are no irreversibilities within a system undergoing an externally reversible process. 13. Mass, energy, entropy, and specific volume are examples of extensive propertics. 14. Significant irreversibilities present during operation of a household refrigerator include inclastic deformation, chemical reaction, and heat transfer. 15. One statement of the second law of themodynamics recognizes that the extensive property entropy is produced within systems whenever external irreversibilities are present. 16. When the working fluid passes through the control volume so quickly that there is not enough time for significant heat transfer to occur, this allow one to model a control volume as having negligible (zero) heat transfer. 17. A pressure cooker work to cook food faster than an ordinary pan with a lid due to decreasing the inside pressure and increasing the temperature. 18. The violation of the Kelvin-Planck statement implies violation of the Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics. 19. All actual processes can be considered as reversible ones. 20. The energy rate balance for both refrigeration and heat pump cycles takes the same form so there is no difference between these cycles
