SECTION-B
2. Using steady flow energy equation establish the relationship for work done by
compressor.
3. A reciprocating air compressor has four stage compression with 5 m
3
/min of air being
delivered at 160 bar when initial pressure and temperature are 1 bar, 25?C. Compression
occur polytropically following polytropic index of 1.25 in three stages with perfect
intercooling between stages. For the optimum intercooling conditions determine the
intermediate pressures and the work required for driving compressor.
4. Compare the rotary and reciprocating compressors on various aspects.
5. Discuss the phenomena surging, choking and stalling in reference to centrifugal
compressors.
6. Compare the centrifugal compressors with axial compressors.
SECTION-C
7. A 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,
a. power required to drive compressor.
b. air fuel ratio if calorific value of fuel is 43100 k/kg .
c. static thrust developed per kg of air per second.
8. A gas turbine unit receives air at 1 bar, 300 K and compresses it adiabatically to 6.2 bar.
The compressor efficiency is 88%. The fuel has a heating value of 44186 kJ/kg and the
fuel-air ratio is 0.017 kg fuel/kg of air. The turbine internal efficiency is 90%. Calculate
the work of turbine and compressor per kg of air compressed and thermal efficiency, for
products of combustion cp = 1.147 kJ/kg K, ? = 1.33.
9. In a reciprocating air compressor, the air is compressed at the rate of 4 m
3
/min at 1 bar
27?C up to the pressure of 8 bar following index of compression as 1.2. The compression
occurs in two stages with intercooling at optimum intercooler pressure and perfect
intercooling. Compare the work input required if the same compression occurs in single
stage. Also compare the work input if same compression occurs in two stages with
imperfect intercooling up to 30?C at the optimum intercooling pressure. Consider
Cp = 1.0032 kJ/kg K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg-K.
