4. a) Give the differential form of steady flow energy equation and explain terms involved 5
Apply S. F. E. E. to the following devices
b) Air flow steadily at the rate of 0.4 kg/s through an air compressor entering at 6 m/s with a 8
pressure of 1 bar and a specific volume of 0.85 m3/kg and leaving at 4.5 m/s with a pressure
of 6.9 bar and a specific volume of 0.16 m3/kg. The internal energy of the air leaving is 88
kJ|kg greater than that of the air entering. Cooling water in a jacket surrounding the
cylinder absorbs heat from the air at rate of 59 W. Calculate the power required to drive
the compressor and the inlet and outlet cross - sectional areas.
5. a) State statement of second law of thermodynamics and prove that both statements are 5
equivalence to each other.
b) A heat pump is to be used to heat a house in winter and then reversed to cool the house in 8
summer. The interior temperature is to be maintained at 20ºC. Heat transfer through the
wall and roof is estimated to be 0.525 kJ|5 per degree temperature difference between the
inside and outside
i) If the outside temperature in winter is 5ºC, what is the minimum power required to
drive the heat pump?
ii) If the power output is the same as in part (i), what is the maximum outer temperature
for which the inside can be maintained at 20ºC?
OR
6. a) Prove that the efficiency of cannot cycle depends only minimum and maximum 6
temperature in the cycle?
b) What do you understand by entropy principle? State and prove Clausius theorem? 7

8. a) Explain the method to measure dryness fraction of steam using throttling Calorimeter. 6
Also derive the necessary equation for dryness fraction. Give its limitation also.
b) Two boilers are with superheater and other without superheat are delivering equal 7
quantities of steam into a common main. The pressure in the boilers and in the main is 22
bar. The temperature of steam from a boiler with superheats is 300ºC and the temperature
of steam in the main 225ºC. Determine the quality of steam supplied by the other boiler
Take ( Cp ) sup = 2.25 kJ / kgK .
9. a) Explain component of steam power plant. Also derive expression for Rankine efficiency. 6
b) A steam power plant operates on the ideal Rankine cycle receives steam at 20 bar and 7
350ºC at rate of 2 kg/s and it is expanded to 0.1 bar
Determine i) Net work done
ii) Rankine efficiency
OR
b) List out method to increase thermal efficiency of power plant. Explain regenerative 7
Rankine cycle with opened and closed feed water heater.
b) A diesel cycle with a compression ratio of 18 is having lowest pressure and temperature 9
in the cycle as 1 bar & 27ºC respectively. The heat added per kg of fuel is 2500 kJ|kg.
Determine
i) Thermal efficiency.
OR
12. a) Explain Otto cycle and Stirling cycle with the help of P -V and T - S diagram. 6
b) Compare Otto, diesel and dual cycle for the following condition. 8
