A turbine operates under steady flow conditions, receiving steam at the following
state: pressure 1.2 MPa, temperature 188°C, enthalpy 2785 kJ/kg, velocity 33.3
mls and elevation 3m. The steam leaves the turbine at the following state:
pressure 20 kPa, enthalpy 2512 kJ/kg, velocity 100 mls and elevation Om. Heat is
lost to the surroundings at the arte of 0.29 kJ/s. If the rate of steam flow through
the turbine is 0.42 kg/s, what is the power outputofthe turbine in kW.

Consider two Camot heat engines operating in series. The first engine receives
heat from the reservoir at 1800K and rejects the waste heat to another reservoir at
temperature T. The second engine receives this energy rejected by the first one,
converts some of it to work, and rejects the rest to a reservoir at 300 K. If the
thermal efficienciesof both engines are the same, determinethe temperature T.
Air is compressed steadily by a 5-kW compressor from 100 kPa and 17°C to 600
kPa and 167°C at a rate of 1.6 kg/min. During this process, some heat transfer
takes place between the compressor and the surrounding medium at 17°C
Determinethe rate of entropy change of air during this process.
Show that the COP of a heat pump is greater than the COP of a refrigerator by
unity.
For the same maximum pressure and temperature of the cycle and the same heat
rejection with the help of p-v and T-s diagram compare the efficiency of Diesel,
Dual and Otto cycle.
State the various assumptionsfor the air standardcycle and based on that calculate
the efficiencyof Diesel cycle in terms of compressionratio and cut-off ratio.
An air-standard Diesel cycle has a compressionratio of 16 and a cutoff ratio of2.
At the 'beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kPa and 27°C.
Accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine (a) the
temperature after the heat-addition process, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the
mean effective pressure.
A simple saturation cycle using Freon 22 is designed for a load of 100 TR. The
saturated suction and discharge temperatures are 5°C and 40°C respectively.
Calculate:
1. the mass flow rate ofthe refrigerant,
2. the COP,
3. the heat rejected in the condenser.

Find out the optimum pressure ratio for a simplegas turbine plant.
Why reheating is essential in gas turbine power plant? What is the' value of
optimum reheat pressure?
An open cycle gas turbine power plant works on Brayton cycle. The maximum
pressure and temperature of the cycle are limitedto 5 bar and 900K. The pressure
and temperature of the gas entering into the compressor are 1 bar and 27°C.
Reheating is used at a pressure of 2.5 bar where the temperature of the gas is
increased to its original turbine inlet temperature.The air flow rate is given by 10
