We increase the efficiency of Rankine cycle by

Select one:
a. None of these
b. Decreasing the average temperature at which heat is rejected from the working fluid in the condenser.
c. All of these
d. Increasing the average temperature at which heat is transferred to the working fluid in the boiler.

Which cycle is used in gas turbine engines?

Select one:
a. Brayton Cycle
b. Otto Cycle
c. Diesel Cycle

A Super Critical Rankine’s cycle is the one that operates

Select one:
a. Below the critical temperature
b. Above 22.06 MPa
c. Below the critical pressure
d. None of these
Otto Cycle is less efficient compared to a Diesel cycle when both of them operate on the same compression ratio.

Select one:
True
False

By extracting steam, which could have produced more work by expanding in the turbine, and using it to heat the feed-water improves the
efficiency.

Select one:
True
False

All Internal Combustion Engines operate on an open loop process.

Select one:
True
False

Steady-flow work is proportional to the specific volume of the working fluid.

Select one:
True
False
Trucks, ships and trains use diesel engines because

Select one:
a. Diesel engines are more efficient than petrol engines at the usually designed compression ratios.
b. Diesel is easily available.
c. Diesel engines are cheaper to make.
d. The calorific value of Diesel is more than that of petrol.

Back-work ratio is defined as the

Select one:
a. Ratio of turbine efficiency to the compressor efficiency.
b. Ratio of turbine work to the compressor work.
c. Ratio of compressor work to the turbine work.
d. None of these

The sole purpose of the reheat cycle is to reduce the moisture content of the steam at the final stages of the expansion process. If we had
materials that could withstand sufficiently high temperatures, there would be no need for the reheat cycle
