Tharmal Science 2014 F

The document is a past exam paper for a Thermal Science course at Pokhara University. It contains 7 questions testing students' knowledge of thermodynamic concepts and their application to problems involving processes, cycles and heat transfer. The questions involve deriving equations, analyzing processes on P-V and T-S diagrams, calculating properties of steam, entropy principles, heat transfer through composite walls, and short notes on refrigeration, the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and natural/forced convection. Students are required to show their working and provide answers in their own words within the allotted time of 3 hours.
