How to score maximum marks in THERMAL for GATE Examinations?

Here, THERMAL= Basics of Thermodynamics+ Power Engineering + Refrigeration Air conditioning + I.C .Engine

Every time in GATE examinations we get 12 to 15 mark (or more than that also) questions from Thermal. So I am listing the important topics of Thermal

Basics of Thermodynamics:

Thermodynamic work calculation of various Non-flow process.( Isothermal , adiabatic polytrophic )
Free expansion concept.
Clausius inequality Carnot efficiency based problems.
Entropy change calculations of an ideal gas through various process.
Available energy calculations Increase in unavailability or decrease in availability.
Joule Thompson Co-efficient Clausius clapeyron equation concept.

Power Engineering:

Brayton Rankine cycle based problems (including compressor turbine efficiency)

Refrigeration Air conditioning:

Simple COP Efficiency based problems (2nd law of thermodynamics for cycle based)
Vapour Compression Refrigeration System (VCRS) problems (mainly COP Compressor work calculation)
Specific humidity Relative humidity formula based problems.

I.C. Engines:

Otto cycle Diesel cycle efficiency calculation (Including calorific value, mean effective pressure problems)
Comparison among Otto, Diesel Dual cycle (for same compression ratio maximum temperature
