8. All the energy relations satisfy the mathematical condition in thermodynamics.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Clarification: All the thermodynamic energy relations satisfy the mathematical condition of being a set of continuous variables. They are a function of state variables themselves.

9. The performance of a flow device is expressed in terms of _________
a) Adiabatic efficiency
b) Isentropic efficiency
c) Thermal efficiency
d) Mechanical efficiency
Answer: b
Clarification: The performance of a flow device is expressed in terms of its isentropic efficiency. The actual performance of the device is compared with that of its isentropic device. It happens at the same inlet and exit conditions.
