JNTU B.Tech III AERODYNAMICS II Previous Question Paper (January/February-2023 - R13)
Answer all questions in Part A. Answer any one question from each unit in Part B.
Part A
What are the limitations of first law of thermodynamics?
Answer
The first law of thermodynamics does not specify the direction of a process, nor does it provide information on whether a process is physically possible, as it only accounts for energy conservation.
What do you mean by isentropic compressibility?
Answer
Isentropic compressibility is the fractional change in volume of a fluid per unit change in pressure during an isentropic process. It is defined as
