i. Answer ALL questions

ii. Assume data wherever required.
iii. As the questions can have multiple answers, weightage will be given for the correct
approach and methodology rather than final answer.
iv. Correct justifications /explanations carry due merit.
v. Refrigerant property charts /tables/data from other resources may be permitted.
vi. Upload answer book to mohan.g.menon@sctce.ac.in
