CONTENTS:
PROBLEM 1: First Law of Thermodynamics
Given:
Heat supplied = 600 kJ
Work done = 250 kJ
Solution:
According to First Law,
Q = ΔU + W
ΔU = Q − W
ΔU = 600 − 250
ΔU = 350 kJ
Answer:
Change in internal energy = 350 kJ

PROBLEM 2: Heat Engine Efficiency
Given:
Heat supplied = 2000 kJ
Heat rejected = 1400 kJ
Solution:
Efficiency (η) = (Q1 − Q2) / Q1
η = (2000 − 1400) / 2000
η = 0.3 or 30%
