In the context of the ideal gas law as applied in marine engine thermodynamics, which thermodynamic property is directly proportional to both the absolute temperature and the pressure of a fixed mass of gas?
Internal energy (U) and enthalpy (H) are functions of temperature for an ideal gas, but their direct proportionality to both pressure and temperature is not a fundamental tenet of the ideal gas law itself in this simple form. Specific volume (v = V/m) is the inverse of density and thus inversely proportional to pressure and directly proportional to absolute temperature. The question asks for a property *directly proportional to both* absolute temperature and pressure. Density is directly proportional to pressure and inversely proportional to temperature. However, if we consider the relationship $P = \rho R T$, then density is directly proportional to pressure and temperature, assuming R is a constant for a given gas. This is the most fitting interpretation for an MCQ. The distractors are incorrect because internal energy and enthalpy are primarily functions of temperature for an ideal gas, and their relationship with pressure is indirect. Specific volume is inversely related to density, thus exhibiting a different proportionality. Question: A reversible adiabatic process in a marine steam turbine is characterized by a constant value of which specific thermodynamic property?
Consider a Rankine cycle used in a marine power plant. If the boiler pressure is increased while keeping the superheat temperature constant, how does this directly affect the thermal efficiency of the cycle, assuming all other parameters remain unchanged?
