Question 1

A rigid container has  air initially at 1.5 bar, 27 brought to a final temperature of 127 by heat transfer from a thermal reservoir at 227. The irreversibility (in kJ/kg) is ______. (atmospheric temperature = 27, atmospheric pressure = 1 bar, cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK, cv = 0.718 kJ/kgK)

Question 2

A four stroke double acting petrol engine is used 90 kW brake power on a job. The engine used 40 kg/h of fuel under working condition and its mechanical efficiency is 75%. If the engine friction power reduces by 10 kW then the saving of fuel (in kg/h) is (assume, indicated thermal efficiency remain constant)

Question 3

Steam at 40 bar, 500°C flowing at the rate of 1.5 kg/sec expands in an h.p turbine to 2 bar with an isentropic efficiency of 80%. Determine the enthalpy of steam of the exit of high pressure turbine in kW.

At 40 bar, 500°C; V = 0.086 m3/kg, U = 3100 kJ/kg; h = 3445 kJ/kg, s = 7.09 kJ/kg

At 2 bar; vf = 0.001061 m3/kg, vg = 0.886 m3/kg, hf=504.7kJ/kg, hg=2707 kJ/kg,

sf=1.503kJ/kg, sg=7.127kJ/kg

Question 4

Question 5

The temperature of two thermometers A and B are tA and tB . The reading tA and tB agree at the ice point and steam point and are related as
tA = a + btB + ctB2
Where, a, b and c are constants and tA and tB are in.
The thermometers A and B, both are immersed in a fluid and reads 45 and 47 respectively. The thermometer reading A, when the thermometer B reads 22

Question 6

3kg of steam at 120 °C and 1 atm is mixed with 25kg of water at ambient temperature of 25 °C. Calculate the irreversibility (in kJ) produced if the steam condenses at 100 °C with Latent heat of condensation as 2260 kJ/kg. Specific heat of steam is 1.99kJ/kgK.

Question 7
