Q.2
14 MarksWhat is the difference between elasticity and plasticity? What do you understand by resilience?
Air enters a compressor at 1.013 bar and 27°C having a volume of 5 m³/kg and it is compressed to 12 bar isothermally. Determine:
Five kg of air is heated from an initial volume of 0.5 m³ to final volume of 1.3 m³ at constant pressure 4 bar. Determine:
Q.3
14 MarksShow the vapour compression refrigeration cycle on T-s and p-h diagram. Name each process in the cycle.
Steam at 5 bar and dryness fraction of 0.85 expands reversibly at constant pressure until the temperature is 220°C. Determine the work and heat transfer per kg of steam during the process. Take specific heat for superheated steam as 2.1 kJ/kg K.
A classroom has a window air conditioner of 2 TR capacity. Its COP is 3. How much electrical energy (in kWhr) will be consumed in one month if the unit runs for 6 hours per day?
During a test of steam with throttling calorimeter, sample is taken from main pipe at 15 bar, pressure and temperature after throttling are 1.2 bar and 150°C respectively. Determine dryness fraction of steam. Take specific heat of superheated steam as 2.1 kJ/kg K.
Q.4
14 MarksA steam plant works on ideal Rankine cycle. Steam is supplied at 25 bar and 290°C. The steam exhausts into a condenser at 15 kN/m² with 0.9 dry. Determine the cycle efficiency.
Give similarities and differences between a friction clutch and a positive-contact clutch.
An oil engine working on diesel cycle has cylinder bore of 190 mm and piston stroke of 230 mm. The clearance volume is 290 cm³. The fuel injection takes place at a constant pressure for 6% of the stroke. Determine the air-standard efficiency.
Q.5
14 MarksWhat do you understand by positive displacement compressor? How it differs from rotodynamic compressor?
Define with regard to compressors: double-acting compressor, multistage compressor, displacement (swept) volume, pressure ratio.
A 6-cylinder 4-stroke I.C. engine is used to produce 95 kW brake power at 800 rpm. The stroke to bore ratio is 1.25. Mean effective pressure is 7 bar. Determine the bore and stroke of the engine. Assume mechanical efficiency as 80%.
