4. A simple closed cycle gas turbine plant receives air at 1 bar and 15? C, and compresses it
to 5 bar and then heats it to 800? C in the heating chamber. The hot air expands in a
turbine back to 1 bar. Calculate the power developed per kg of air supplied per second.
Take C
p
for air is 1 KJ/Kg K.
5. Explain the effect of intercooling in a multistage reciprocating compressor.
6. The turbojet engine requires 0.18 kg per hour per N of thrust, when the thrust is 9 KN.
The aircraft velocity is 500 m/s and mass of air passing through the compressor of the
turbine is 27 kg per second. Determine the air-fuel ratio, thrust power and overall
efficiency of this unit
SECTION-C
7. Explain why aerofoil blading is needed in axial flow compressors? Define angle of attack
and its effects on static pressure distribution on blades.
8. A 4 cylinder double acting compressor is required to compress 30 m
3
/min. of air at 1 bar
and 27? C to a pressure of 16 bar. Determine the size of motor required and cylinder
dimensions if the following data is given :
i) Speed of the compressor N = 320 r.p.m,
ii) Clearance volume V
c
= 4%,
iii) Stroke to bore ratio L/D = 1.2,
iv) Mechanical efficiency = 82%
v) Value of index n= 1.32. Assume no pressure change in suction valves and the air gets
heated by 12? C during suction stroke.
9. i) Write a short note on :
a) Turbo prop
b) Ram jet.
ii) Compare vane blower and root blower rotary compressors.
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.
