c) Turbine Work & Pump work

Rankine Carnotinization
d) Condenser work & Pump work

Optimum Regeneration
View Answer
Stem Power Plant
Answer: c

Power Plant Appraisal Explanation: The net work done in a Rankine Cycle is given by,

Wnet = Wt – Wp.
Deaerator - 1

Deaerator - 2
4. In a Rankine Cycle, heat input is provided to ___________

Power Plant Efficiencies- a) Condenser

1 b) Pump

c) Turbine

Power Plant Efficiencies- d) Boiler

2
View Answer
Power & Process Heat
Answer: d

Combined Cycle
Explanation: As the heating of the liquid working fluid occurs in the
Power Generation
Boiler, the heat input is provided to the Boiler for the same.

Fuels & Combustion

5. In a Rankine Cycle, heat output is obtained from ___________

Nuclear Power Plants a) Condenser

b) Boiler

Hydroelectric Power c) Turbine

Plant
Diesel Engine & Gas d) Pump

Turbine Power Plants View Answer

Combustion
Answer: a

Mechanism,
Explanation: As the heated water comes to the condenser, it loses its
Equipment & Firing
heat & gets condensed. The heat output is obtained from Condenser.
Methods

Basic 6. The water that flows from the Pump is?

Thermodynamic a) Compressible

Cycles b) Incompressible

c) Unsteady

Electricity Generation d) None of the mentioned

Steam Generation View Answer

Magnetohydrodyna Answer: b

mic Systems Explanation: The water flowing through the pump is incompressible so
as to extract work from the turbine.
Solar Energy &
Environmental
Degradation 7. Steam Rate is the reciprocal of _________

a) Net work done

Best Reference b) Heat extracted from condenser

Books c) Heat given to reciprocal

d) Work done by turbine

Exercises & Tests

View Answer
Power Plant Engineering
Tests Answer: a

Explanation: Steam Rate is given by,

Certification Test Steam Rate = 1/Wnet.

Internship Test
8. Which of these is sometimes neglected?

Job Test
a) Turbine work

Qualifier Test b) Pump work

c) Condenser heat

Top Rankers d) Boiler heat

Practice Test - Chapter 1 View Answer

Practice Test - Chapter 2

Answer: b

Practice Test - Chapter 3 Explanation: Pump Work is very small as compared to Turbine Work &
so is often neglected.
Practice Test - Chapter 4

Practice Test - Chapter 5 9. Efficiency of a Rankine Cycle is also expressed as __________

Practice Test - Chapter 8

View Answer
Practice Test - Chapter 9
Answer: b

Practice Test - Chapter

Explanation: The relation between Heat Rate & Efficiency is,

10
Heat Rate = Efficiency of a Rankine Cycle.
Mock Test - Chapter 1
10. Steam Power Plants are more popular in electric power generation
Mock Test - Chapter 2
because ___________

Mock Test - Chapter 3 a) Work output of turbine is very large than work input to the pump

b) Work output of turbine is very small than work input to the pump

Mock Test - Chapter 4 c) Work output of turbine is equal to work input to the pump

d) None of the mentioned

Mock Test - Chapter 5

View Answer
Mock Test - Chapter 6

Mock Test - Chapter 7 Answer: a

Explanation: In a Steam Power Plant, the positive difference of turbine

Mock Test - Chapter 8 work & pump work makes it useful in electricity generation.
Mock Test - Chapter 9 11. Which is the most common type of Evaporator?

a) Flooded Evaporator

Mock Test - Chapter 10 b) Plate Evaporator

c) Coil Evaporator

d) Brine Evaporator

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: The most common type is a coil winding on a plate & so

the name ‘plate evaporator’.

12. In Rankine Cycle, water is converted to saturated liquid in ___________

a) Evaporator

b) Economizer

c) Superheater

d) Preheater

View Answer

Answer: b

Explanation: The saturation of water occurs in an Economizer in a

Rankine Cycle.

13. If Evaporator & Condenser pressures are p & q, the intercooler

pressure P is given as?

a) P = pq

b) P = p/q

c) P = (pq)(1/2)

d) P = p2q

View Answer

Answer: c

Explanation: The relation between Intercooler pressure, Evaporator &

Condenser is,

P = (pq)(1/2).

14. Phase change at constant pressure takes place in _____________

a) Economiser

b) Evaporator

c) Superheater

d) Air-Preheater

View Answer

Answer: c

Explanation: Superheater undergoes a change in phase at constant

pressure.

15. Which of these factors don’t cause Internal Irreversibility of a Rankine

cycle?

a) Throttling

b) Mixing

c) Fluid Friction

d) Fluid flow

View Answer

Answer: d

Explanation: The Rankine cycle is an Irreversible cycle. For a cycle to be

irreversible naturally throttling, mixing & friction in fluids are the factors
that cause this Irreversibility.
