It is sufficient to know only the temperature

Both temperature and pressure are required to be known
Both temperature and volume are required to be known
Both temperature and mass are required to be known
Sol. (a)
Ideal gas with constant values of specific heat i.e. Cp and Cv are constant the enthalpy
h = u + pV
pV = RT
h = u + RT = u(T) + RT = H(T)
Hence enthalpy of ideal gas is temperature dependent only. So it is sufficient to know temperature

In a linear arc welding process the heat input per unit length is inversely proportional to
(a) welding current
(c) welding speed
(b) welding voltage

(d) duty cycle of the power source

H = I2 Rt or
... (1)

H =
where
VI
S
... (2)
I = welding current
R = Resistance
t = time of welding current
TE
S = welding speed
V = Voltage
from above equation we see that heat input is directly proportional to welding current &
voltage.
Duty cycle is the time out of 10 minutes, while which power source is working. Thus, duty cycle
is related to time of welding.
Also, from equation (2) it is clear that as welding speed (s) increases, heat input (H) decreases.
AS
Thus, option (c) is correct.

boundary layer will not form. There is only hydrodynamic boundary layer over the plate.
