Part- B ( 5 x 16 =80 marks)
11. a) The compression ratio for a single-cylinder engine operating on dual cycle is 9.
The maximum pressure in the cylinder is limited to 60 bar. The pressure and
temperature of the air at the beginning of the cycle are 1 bar and 30°C. Heat is
added during constant pressure process upto 4 percent of the str-oke. Assuming
the cylinder diameter and stroke length as 250 mm and 300 mm respectively,
determine:
i) The air standard efficiency of the cycle.
ii) The power developed if the number of working cycles are 3 per
second.
Take for air Cv =0.71 kJ/kg Kand: Cp =1.0 kJ/kq K

12. a) A 50% reaction turbine (with symmetrical velocity triangles) running at 400 r.p.m.
has the exit angle of the blades as 20° and the velocity of steam relative to the
blades at the ·exit is 1.35 times the mean blade speed. The steam flow rate is
8.33 kg/sand at a particular stage the specific volume is 1.381 m3 /kg. Calculate
for t_his stage:
(i) A suitable blade height, assuming the rotor mean diameter 12 times the
blade height, and
ii) The diagram work.
OR
b) Explain the -construction, working and -advantages .of multistage steam turbines.

13. a) Explain with a neat sketch the working of diesel fuel ignition system.

OR
b) With a necessary illustration discuss in detail about the electronic ignition system
used in IC Engines.

14. a) A 4~y1inder petrol engine has ,a bore -0f-60 mm and a ·stroke of 90 mm. ·Hs rnted
speed is 2800 r.p.m. and it is tested at this speed against brake which has a
torque arm of 0.37 m. The net brake load is 160 N and the fuel consumption is
8:986 litres / ·h. The specific gravity -of petrol used is 0.74 and it has a l.ower
-calorific value of 44100 kJ/kg. A Morse test is .carried ,out and the -cylinders are
cut out in the order 1,2,3,4 with -corresponding brake .loads of 1 ta, 107, _104 and
110 N respectively. Calculate for this speed:
i) The engine torque ii) The brake mean -effective pressure
iii) The brake thermal efficiency iv) The specific fuel consumption
V) Mechanical efficiency and v) Indicated mean effective pressure.

OR
b) Explain the principle construction and working of forced type cooling system
used in IC Engine.

15. a) A gas turbine employs a heat exchanger with a thermal ratio of 72%. The
turbine operates between the pressure of 1.01 bar and 4:04 bar and ambient
temperature is 20°C. lsentropic efficiencies of compressor and turbine are -80%
and 85% respectively. The pressure drop on each side of the heat exchanger is
0.05 bar and in the combustion chamber 0.14 bar. Assume ,combustion
efficiency to be unity and calorific value of the fuel to be 41800 kJ/kg.
Calculate the increase in efficiency due to heat exchanger over that for simple
cycle.
Assume cp is constant throughout and is equal to 1.024 kJ/kg K, and assume
y = 1.4.
For simple cycle the air-fuel ratio is 90 : 1, and for the heat exchange cycle the
· turbine entry temperature is the same as for a simple cycle.

OR
b). Explain the regeneration and reheating in gas turbines with necessary graphical
illustration and also indicate why this process are carry ,out in high speed gas
turbine?
