SECTION-B
11. Explain the construction and working of roots blow compressor.
12. Compare the reciprocating and centrifugal compressors.
13. Prove that efficiency of Brayton cycle depends on the pressure ratio only.
14. Explain the effect of reheat and regeneration on the efficiency and output of gas turbine.
15. Explain various methods of achieving isothermal efficiency in reciprocating compressor.
SECTION-C
16. A reciprocating air compressor has cylinder with 24 cm bore and 36 cm stroke. Compressor
admits air at 1 bar, 17?C and compresses it up to 6 bars. Compressor runs at 120 rpm.
Considering compressor to be single acting and single stage determine mean effective
pressure and the horse power required to run compressor when it compresses following the
isothermal process and polytropic process with index of 1.3. Also find isothermal
efficiency when compression is of polytropic and adiabatic type.
17. Jet propulsion engine has compressor with pressure ratio 4 and compressed air enters into
combustion chamber where combustion occurs so as to yield temperature of 500?C at
turbine inlet. Actual temperature at inlet to combustion chamber is 10% more than that
of isentropic compressor temperature rise. Exhaust from turbine is expanded up to
atmospheric pressure of 1 bar. The ambient temperature is 285 K. Determine, (i) power
required to drive compressor, (ii) air fuel ratio if calorific value of fuel is 43100 kJ/kg, (iii)
static thrust developed per kg of air per second.
18. Differentiate between axial and centrifugal compressors.
