Steam undergoes isentropic expansion in a turbine from 5000 kPa and 400°C (entropy = 6.65 kJ/kg K) to 150 kPa) (entropy of saturated liquid = 1.4336 kJ/kg . K, entropy of saturated vapour = 7.2234 kJ/kg. K) The exit condition of steam is

A. Superheated vapour
B. Partially condensed vapour with quality of 0.9
C. Saturated vapour
D. Partially condensed vapour with quality of 0.1
✅ The correct answer is option A.

The efficiency of a Carnot heat engine operating between absolute temperatures T₁ and T₂ (when, T₁ > T₂) is given by (T₁ – T₂)/T₁. The co-efficient of performance (C.O.P.) of a Carnot heat pump operating between T₁ and T₂ is given by

A. T₁/(T₁-T₂)
B. T₂/(T₁-T₂)
C. T₁/T₂
D. T₂/R1
✅ The correct answer is option A.
