Assume missing data suitably.

Q.1 Attempt any two of the following: (10 x 2)

a) Derive Maxwell’s equation.

b) What is Joule Thomson coefficient? Why is it zero for ideal gas? What is inversion
temperature.
c) What do you understand by ‘useful work’? Derive expressions for useful work for a closed
system and a steady flow system which interact only with the surrounding?

Q.2 Attempt any two of the following: (10 x 2)

a) Draw the phase equilibrium diagram on p-v coordinates for a substance which shrinks in
volume on melting and then for a substance which expands in volume on melting? Indicate
there on the relevant constant property lines.
b) What is quality of steam ? What are the different methods of measurement of quality?
c) Explain the working of a locomotive boiler with the help of neat sketch.

Q.3 Attempt any two of the following: (10 x 2)

a) Draw the actual and hypothetical indicator diagram for a steam engine. Establish an
expression for theoretical work done per stroke and the mean effective pressure. State any
assumption made.
b) Draw an expression for indicated work of a double acting steam engine without clearance
volume.
c) What are the types of nozzles? Explain with neat diagram.

a) What are the four basic components of a steam power plant? Write their function in brief?
b) Draw the schematic for an ideal Rankine cycle. Draw p-v, T-s and h-s diagrams for this cycle.
c) Explain the principle of working of an impulse turbine.

Q.5 Attempt any two of the following: (10 x 2)

a) How is gas turbine plant modelled as air standard Brayton cycle? Write the assumptions
clearly.
b) Explain the working of reheat gas turbine plant with the help of a T-s diagram.
c) Explain the working of a turbojet engine with the help of a sketch. What are its advantages,
disadvantages and applications?
