PART ? B
(Answer all five units, 5 X 10 = 50 Marks)
UNIT ? I
2 A Brayton cycle works between 1 bar, 300 K and 5 bar, 1250 K. There are two stages of
compression with perfect intercooling and two stages of expansion. The work out of first expansion
stage being used to drive two compressors, where the inter stage pressure is optimized for the
compressor. The air from the first stage turbine is again heated to 1250 K and expanded. Calculate
the power output of free power turbine and cycle efficiency without and with heat exchanger and
compare them. Also calculate improvement in the efficiency.
OR
3 Explain with neat sketch the working operators of air standard Brayton cycle.
UNIT ? II
4 Define isothermal efficiency of the compressor and prove that the isothermal work input to a
compressor is always minimum.
OR
5 Sketch the neat diagram of regenerative gas turbine plant and deduce an expression for its thermal
efficiency.
UNIT ? III
6 (a) Explain the various efficiencies associated with a propulsion device.
(b) The effective jet exit velocity from a jet engine is 2700 m/s. The forward flight velocity is 1350 m/s
and the air flow rate is 78.6 kg/s. Calculate: (i) Thrust. (ii) Thrust power. (iii) Propulsive efficiency.
OR
