SECTION-B
11.
Determine the adiabatic flame temperature when liquid octane at 25?C is burned with
300% theoretical air at 25?C in a steady flow process.
12.
Steam at 20 bar. 360?C is expanded in steam turbine to 0.08 bar. It then enters a
condenser, where it is condensed to saturated liquid water. The pump feeds back the
water into the boiler, assuming ideal process, calculate net work per kg of steam and
cycle efficiency.
13.
A diesel engine has a compression ratio of 14 and cut-off takes place at 6% of the stroke.
Find the air standard efficiency.
14.
Write briefly about the properties of an ideal refrigerant.
15.
Prove the efficiency of Brayton cycle depends on pressure ratio only.
SECTION-C
16.
A supersonic wind tunnel nozzle is to be designed for M?2, with a throat section, 011 m2
in area. The supply pressure and temperature at the nozzle inlet, where the velocity is
negligible are 70 kPa and 37?C respectively. Compute the mass flow rate, exit rate and
the fluid properties at the throat and exit, take = 1.4.
17.
Atmospheric air at 1.0132 bar has a DBT of 32?C and WBT of 26?C. Calculate (a) partial
pressure of water vapour, (b) specific humidity, (c) dew point temperature, (d) relative
humidity, (e) degree of saturation, (f) density of air in the mixture, (g) density of vapour
in the mixture, and (h) enthalpy of the mixture.
18.
With the help of neat sketch discuss the working of vapour absorption cycle.
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.
