pressure rise for it.
Q6.
Write the types of turbines. Explain the working of an axial flow turbine with the help of
velocity triangles and derive the relation for work output.
SECTION-C
Q7.
Explain the working of a solid propellant Rocket motor and write the steps for its design.
Q8.
Describe the critical and supercritical, supersonic inlet operation with the help of neat
figures.
Q9.
An axial flow compressor with an overall isentropic efficiency of 85% draws air at 20?C
and compresses it in the pressure ratio of 4 : 1. The mean blade speed and flow velocity
are constant throughout the compressor. Assuming 50% reaction blading and taking blade
velocity as 180 m/s and work input factor as 0.82, calculate :
a) flow velocity (axial)
b) Number of stages.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
