1. Calculate the heat loss per square metre of outside surface area if a heated sphere,
20 cm in diameter, covered with 5 cm of insulation (k = 0.06 W/mK). The inside
and outside surface temperature of the insulation are 3000 C and 500 C respectively.

2. A closed cycle gas turbine uses helium as the working substance. The gas enters
the compressor at 4 bar and 320K and discharges at 16 bar and 590K. It then
enters a regenerator of 70% effectiveness. The turbine inlet condition is 15.5 bar
and 1400K. The turbine exhausts at 4.2bar and 860K and enters the regenerator.
Determine:

(a) the compressor and turbine efficiencies

(b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle
(c) the heat rejected in the cooler before compressor and
(d) the helium flow rate for a net power output of 100 MW. Take Cp and γ for
helium as 5.2 and 1.67 respectively. [16]

tures are used? Explain. [16]

4. (a) What is the purpose of a fuel injector? Mention various parts of a injector
assembly.
(b) Draw the neat diagram of Pintle and Pintaux nozzle and discuss their relative
merits and demerits. [8+8]

5. (a) When a body is said to be black? What is the range of wave lengths it absorbs?
(b) Compute the radiant energy loss from 1 cm diameter opening in a thin walled
furnace located in a large enclosure, if the temperature with in the furnace is
9000 C and the surroundings are at 200 C. [6+10]

7. (a) A petrol engine has bore and stroke of 20 cm and 38 cm respectively. The
clearance volume is 3000 cm3 . Determine air-standard efficiency and indicated
efficiency of the cycle if its relative efficiency is 60%.

i. Compression ratio
ii. Clearance volume and
iii. Thermal efficiency. [8+8]

8. (a) Explain the boundary layer concept and define clearly hydrodynamic and ther-
mal boundary layer thicknesses.
(b) A rectangular duct 30 cm × 20 cm in cross section carries cold air. The
temperature of the outer surface of the duct is 50 C and surrounding air tem-
perature is 250 C. Find the heat gain by the duct assuming one metre duct is
exposed to the air in vertical position. [8+8]
