The document contains 10 questions related to thermodynamics for an applied thermodynamics exam. The first question provides observations from a single cylinder oil engine trial and asks to calculate various parameters like indicated power, brake power, efficiencies, and heat carried away by cooling water. The second question asks to write short notes on topics like heat balance sheet, Morse test, Willan's line method, and measurement of friction power. The third question asks about the efficiency and mean effective pressure of a diesel cycle and related P-V and T-S diagrams. The fourth question provides parameters for an Otto cycle and asks to determine values like heat added/rejected and efficiencies. The remaining questions cover topics like the effects on Rankine cycle
