11. An engine works on otto cycle. The initial pressure and temperature of the air IO
is 1bar and 40˚C. 825 kJ of heat is supplied per kg of air at the end of
compression find the temperature and pressure at all salient points if the
compression ratio is 6. Also find the efficiency and MEP for the cycle.

(OR)
b. An engine working on Otto cycle has compression ratio of 8.5. The initial IO
pressure and temperature at the beginning of compression stroke is 0.93 bar
and 93º C. The Maximum pressure at cycle is 38bar. Find (i) Maximum
temperature and pressure, (ii) Work done per kg of air, (iii) Cycle efficiency
and (iv) Mean effective pressure. Assume, Cp and Cv , R and γ suitably.

beginning of the compression stroke is 1 bar and the temperature is 30 ºC.The
heat supplied is 1800 kJ/kg.Determine: (i) Thermal efficiency, (ii) Pressure

b. Derive the expression for air standard efficiency of Brayton cycle. IO
14. a. A reheat Rankine cycle receives steam at 35 bar and 0.1 bar. Steam enters IO
the first stage steam turbine 350 ºC. If reheating is done at 8 bar and 350 ºC,
calculate the specific steam consumption and reheat Rankine cycle efficiency.
(OR)
b. A steam power plant operates on a theoretical reheat cycle. Steam at boiler at IO
150bar, 550 °C expands through the high pressure turbine. It is reheated at a
constant pressure of 40 bar to 550 °C and expands through the low pressure
turbine to a condenser at 0.1 bar. Draw T-s and h-s diagram. Find (i) Quality
of steam at turbine exhaust (ii) Cycle efficiency (iii) Steam Rate in kg/kWh.
15. a. Draw the P-V, T-S, h -s, diagrams and theoretical lay out for Regeneration IO
Rankine cycle and hence deduce the expression for its efficiency.

contact type which operates at 5 bar. Find :
(i) The efficiency and the steam rate of the cycle. (ii) The increase in mean
temperature of heat addition, efficiency and steam rate as compared to the
Rankine cycle (without regeneration). Pump work may be neglected.
