10. THERMAL ENGINEERING - I ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS Explain with the help of a neat diagram a Reheat Rankine Cycle, Derive also an expression for its thermal efficiency Explain with the help of a neat diagram a Regenerative Rankine Cycle, Derive also an expression for its thermal efficiency Ina single heater regenerative cycle the steam enters the turbine at 30 bar, 400°C and the exhaust pressure is 0.10 bar, The feed water heater is a direct contact type which operates at 5 bar. Find a, The efficiency and the Steam rate of the cycle b. The increase in mean temperature of heat addition, Efficiency and steam rate as ‘compared to the rankine eycle (withont regeneration), Neglect pump work. ‘Analyze flue gases with the help of Or sat gas apparatus 'A fuel consists of the following percentage analysis by mass C = 84 %, Ha = 10%, 0) =2 %, 8 = 1%, Na= 3%. Find the amount of air required to compieteiy burn 1 kg oi this fuel and determine the products of combustion both by mass and as percentage? Derive the critical pressure ratio for a convergent-divergent nozzle and obtain the relation for the maximum discharge and maximum velocity Deduce the relation between Area, Velocity and Pressure in Nozzle flow and explain the metastable flow in Nozzles Dry saturated steam enters a steam Nozzle at a pressure of 15 bar and is discharged to a pressure of 2 bar. If the dryness fraction of discharged steam is 0.96. What will be final velocity of steam, Neglect initial velocity of the steam Deduce the relation for the Maximum Blade Efficiency. Why compounding is done in turbines and methods of compounding A single stage steam turbine is supplied with steam at 5 bar, 200°C at the rate of 50 Keg/min, It expands into a condenser at a pressure of 0.2 bar. The blade speed is 400 mis. ‘The nozzles are inclined at an angle of 20° to the plane of the wheel and the outlet blade angle is 30° Neglecting friction lossesDetermine a, The Power developed b, Blade Efficiency c. Axial Thrust per kg of the steam 11. Establish a condition for maximum discharge of flue gases through chimney? ‘A Chimney has a height of 24 m, the ambient temperature is 25°C. Temperature of flue gases passing through the chimney is 300°C. Ifthe air flow through the combustion space is 20 Ke/Kg of fuel burned. Find the following a. The theore' | draught in mm of water b. Velocity of flue gases passing through the chimney if 50 % of the theoretical draught lost in friction at the grate and passage.
