Subject code: 141903 Date: 27-10-2012
Subject Name: Engineering Thermodynamics
Time: 02:30 pm 05:30 pm Total Marks: 70
Instructions:
1. Attempt all questions.
2. Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary.
3. Figures to the right indicate full marks.
4. Use of Molier chart and steam tables in permitted.

Q.1 (a) Prove that all reversible engines operating between operating
between same temperature limits have are equally efficient.
07
(b) A reversible heat engine operates within the higher and lower
temperature limits of 1400K and 400K resply. The entire output
from this engine is utilized to operate a heat pump. The pump works
on reversed Carnot cycle, extracts heat from a reservoir at 300K and
delivers it to the reservoir at 400K. If 100 KJ/s of net heat is
supplied to the reservoir at 400K, calculate the heat supplied by the
reservoir at 1400K.

Q.2 (a) Explain following terms: law of corresponding states, Gibbs- Dalton
law, Coefficient of volume expansion.
07
(b) What is meant by thermodynamic equilibrium? How goes it differ
from thermal equilibrium.
04
(c) Define following: pure substance, saturation states, triple point 03
OR
(b) Prove following statements:
i. Temperature of wet steam equals that of dry and saturated
steam at same pressure
ii. Dryness fraction of steam does not go below zero or above
unity.
04
(c ) Define following terms: isolated system, control volume, property. 03

Q.3 (a) State and prove clausius theorem. 07
(b) The mass flow rate of steam into a steam turbine is 1.5Kg/s and heat
transfer from the turbine is 8.5KW. The steam is entering in the
turbine at the pressure of 2 MPa, temperature 350 C, velocity
50m/s, elevation 6m and is leaving the turbine at a pressure of
0.1 MPa, quality of 100% velocity of 200m/s, elevation of 3m.
Determine the power output of turbine.

rejected by gas during compression.
07
(b) A 50kg block of iron casting at 500K is thrown into a large lake
which is at a temperature of 285K. After the iron block reaches
thermal equilibrium with the lake determine
i. Entropy change of iron block
07
2
ii. Entropy change of lake water
iii. Total change entropy change during this process, assume
average specific heat of iron block as 0.45KJ/KgK

Q.4 (a) Draw and explain the schematic for an ideal Rankine cycle and
represent on p-v, T-S, h-s diagram
07
(b) In a Diesel cycle, air at 0.1 MPa and 300K is compressed
adiabatically until the pressure rises to 5 MPa. If 700KJ/Kg of
energy in form of heat is supplied at constant pressure, determine
compression ratio, cut off ration, thermal efficiency and mean
effective pressure.
07
OR
Q. 4 (a) Draw line diagram of Brayton cycle represent on p-v diagram and
derive expression for efficiency of Brayton cycle.
07
(b) Steam at 20 bar, 360 C is expanded in a steam turbine at 0.08 bar. It
then enters a condenser where it is condensed to saturated liquid
water then pump feeds water back the water into boiler, calculate net
work per Kg of steam and cycle efficiency.
