BIME-002 : THERMAL ENGG - I


Time : 3 Hours Maximum Marks : 70
Note : Attempt any Seven questions.

1. Two Kg of air at 6.86 bar abs. and 90°C pass 10


through a reversible non flow polytropic process
represented by PV1.1 = constant till the pressure
falls to 1.37 bar. Find
(i) The final temperature, specific volume and
change in entropy.
(ii) Work and heat transfer.
(iii) What will be the answer if the process was
irreversible and adiabatic between the same
end states ?
2. Find the draught produced in mm of water by a 10
chimney of 40 m height. Assume the diameter of
chimney as 150 cm and 30% of the theoretical
draught is lost in friction. Consider that the mass
of flue gas be 20 kg of fuel burnt in the combustion
chamber and the temp of flue gases and the
ambient air as 270°C and 23°C. Find the mass of
flue gases passing through the chimney per
minute.

3. The fuel supplied to a petrol engine is assumed to 10
have the composition C2H16. Calculate

(i) The stoichiometric air - fuel ratio by mass


(ii) The percentage volumetric composition of
the products of combustion if 50% excess
air is supplied and the combustion is
complete. Assume air contains 21% 02 by
volume.

4. Super heated steam at 10 bar abs and 300°C 10


admitted into the cylinder of a steam engine
expands isentropically to a pressure of 0.7 bar.
The pressure then falls at constant volume to a
back pressure of 0.28 bar. Determine :
(i) modified Rankine cycle efficiency
(ii) steam consumption per kW hour
(iii) mean effective pressure
(iv) heat removed in the condenser/kg steam
(v) loss of work due to incomplete combustion
(vi) if the cylinder diameter and stroke are
30 cm and 58 cm respectively, what would
be the new stroke if the steam is allowed to
expand without any restriction up to the
condenser pressure.

5. Sketch a schematic diagram of a steam power 10


plant and explain the various process of Rankine
cycle on T - S and P - V diagram.

6. Calculate the throat and exit diameter of a 10
convergent - divergent nozzle which will
discharge 820 Kg of steam/hr from a pressure of
8 bar superheated to 220°C into a chamber having
a pressure of 1.05 bar. Friction loss in the divergent
part of the nozzle may be taken as 0.15 of the
total enthalpy drop.

7. A single row impulse turbine developed 135 kW 10


at a blade speed of 175 m/s using 2 kg of steam/s.
Steam leaves the nozzle at 400 m/s. Velocity
coefficient of the blade is 0.9. steam leaves the
turbine blade axially. Determine the Nozzle angle,
blade angle at entry and exit assuming no shock.

8. A steam power plant equipped with regenerative 10


as well as reheat arrangement is supplied with
steam to the H.P turbine at 80 bar and 470°C. For
feed heating a part of steam is extracted at 7 bar
and the remainder of steam is reheated to 350°C
in a reheater and then expanded in L.P. turbine
down to 0.035 bar. Determine

(i) Amount of steam bled off for feed heating.

(ii) Amount of steam in L.P turbine

(iii) Heat supplied in boiler and reheater

(iv) Output of turbine

(v) Cycle efficiency

9. Air at 15°C and atmospheric pressure is taken in 10
an open cycle gas turbine power plant. In the
compressor the pressure rises five times. The
compressed air is then heated to 800°C and the
expanded in the turbine to the atmospheric
pressure. Find the power developed by per Kg of
fuel and the air standard efficiency.

10. Write short notes on any two of the following : 5x2


(i) Describe the advantages of water tube boiler
over fire tube boiler
(ii) Critical pressure ratio of a nozzle
(iii) Enthalpy and internal energy of combustion.
