Subject Code:141903 Date: 28/11/2018
Subject Name: Engineering Thermodynamics
Time: 02:30 PM TO 05:00 PM Total Marks: 70
Instructions:
1. Attempt all questions.
2. Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary.
3. Figures to the right indicate full marks.
4. Use of mollier chart and steam tables is permitted
Q.1 (a) Draw the Diesel cycle on p-v and T-s diagram. Also derive expression for air
standard efficiency with usual notations for the cycle.
07
(b) Write the steady flow energy equations from first principles. Deduce the SFEE
for 1) boiler 2) compressor
07
Q.2 (a) 0.2m3 of an ideal gas at a pressure of 2 MPa and 600K is expanded
isothermally to 5 times the initial volume. It is then cooled to 300K at constant
volume and then compressed back polytropically to its initial state. Determine
the net work done and heat transfer during the cycle.
07
(b) Define entropy. With usual notations prove that ??Q/T <=0 07
OR
(b) Show that COP of a heat pump is greater than COP of refrigerator by unity 07
Q.3 (a) A lump of 800 kg of steel at 1250K is to be cooled to 500K. If it is desired to
use the steel as source of energy, calculate the available and unavailable
energies. Take specific heat of steel as 0.5 kJ/kg K and ambient temperature
300K
07
(b) Explain Rankine cycle with P-V and T-S diagram. 07
OR
Q.3 (a) It is proposed to design a refrigeration plant for a food store which is to be
maintained at -5?C. The ambient temperature is 25?C and the estimated heat
transfer from the store is at the rate of 5 KW. If the system operates on reversed
Carnot heat engine cycle, determine the performance index and the minimum
power required to operate the refrigeration plant.
07
(b) Explain Binary vapour cycle with P-V and T-S diagram. 07
Q.4 (a) Derive Maxwell?s equations and state their importance in thermodynamics. 07
(b) An air standard Otto cycle is designed to operate with the following data:
Maximum cycle pressure and temperature: 5MPa and 2250K
Minimum cycle pressure and temperature: 0.1 MPa and 300 K. Determine the
net work output per unit mass of working fluid and the thermal efficiency
07
OR
Q.4 (a) Explain:
1. Coefficient of volume expansion.
2. Isothermal compressibility.
3. Adiabatic compressibility.
07
(b) Prove that all reversible engines working between two constant temperature
reservoirs have the same efficiency.
