SECTION-B
2. Explain with the help of (temperature-heat) diagram the formation of steam and the
connected terms.
3. Explain the working of Loeffler boiler with the help of a neat sketch. State its merits.
4. Steam enters a group of nozzles of a steam turbine at 12 bar and 220? C and leaves at
1.2 bar. The steam turbine develops 220 KW with specific steam consumption of
13.5 Kg/KWh. If the diameter of nozzles at throat is 7 mm, calculate the number of
nozzles.
5. Explain construction and working of Edwards?s air pump.
6. A steam power plant is supplied with dry saturated steam at a pressure of 12 bar and
exhausts into a condenser at 0.1 bar. Calculate the Rankine efficiency by using 1. Steam
tables and 2. Mollier chart.

SECTION-C
7. What is the significance of controlling delay period in C.I. engines? Explain any five
factors which cause reduction in delay period.
8. In a condenser test, the following observations are made : Vacuum = 690 mm of Hg;
Barometer reading = 750 mm of Hg; Mean temperature of condensation = 35? C; Hot
well temperature = 28?C; Mass of cooling water = 50000 kg/h; Inlet temperature = 17?C;
Outlet temperature = 30?C; Mass of condensate per hour = 1250 kg.
Find :
a. The mass of air present per m3 of condenser volume;
b. The state of steam entering the condenser; and
c. The vacuum efficiency. Take R for air = 287 J/Kg K.
9. A parson?s reaction turbine, while running at 400 r.p.m. consumes 30 tonnes of steam per
hour. The steam at a certain stage is at 1.6 bar with dryness fraction of 0.9 and the stage
develops 10 KW. The axial velocity of flow is constant and equal to 0.75 of the blade
velocity. Find mean diameter of the drum and the volume of steam flowing per second.
Take blade tip angles at inlet and exit as 35? and 20? respectively.
