(a) Pinch temperature

(b) Minimum Cold & Hot utilities requirement

I,

(c) Place the Heat Exchanger matches taking the above and below the Pinch process
separately and then combine them for the overall design for maximum energy
recovery (MER). Assume availability of Cooling water: T 5 = 30 C, Tt:;::: 40C, 'and
Steam (saturated): T = 258 C. Fill up the all the data into following tabular format:

(d) What do you mean by "Loop" and "Path" ? Identify the "Loop" across the Pinch,
break it by relaxing energy along a "Path", thereby reducing one heat exchanger

unit from the above MER design.

2.

Develop the information flow diagram of a lumped parameter model of a

distillation column by taking the "Tray", "Condenser" and "Reboiler'Y as three
separate modules. Define the variables clearly and state all the assumptions while
developing the mathematical equations.

(a)
What do you mean by SLM and WDV method of Depreciation of capital
assets? In,a Factory, a machine has been purchased with an initial cost ofRs 20
Lac. It has an estimated life of 5 years and a scrap value of Rs 5 Lac. Show the
calculation of year-wise depreciation and book value both by S~M and WDV
method.

(b)
While working on an investment decision, what do you me-an by ROI,
NPV, and IRR ?

(c)
A gold processor has two sources of gold ore, source A and source B. In
order to keep his plant running, at least three tons of ore must be processed each
day. Ore from source A costs Rs 20,000 per ton to process, and ore from source B
costs Rs 10,000 per ton to process. Costs must be kept to less than Rs 80,000 per
day. Moreover, Govt. Regulations require that the amount of ore from source B
cannot exceed twice the amount of ore from source A. If ore from source A yields
2 oz. of gold per ton, and ore from source B yields 3 oz. of gold per ton, how
many tons of ore from both sources must be processed each day to maximize the
amount of gold extracted subject to the above constraints?

4.

An exothermic reaction is taking place in a jacketed CSTR. Develop a Fuzzy

Logic based control system to manipulate the jacket water flow-rate depending on
the Feed and Reactor temperature. Show with sample calculations clearly
highlighting the fuzzification, rule evaluation and defuzzification process. What
[9]
is "MIN-MAX" process of rule evaluation?

5.

Using "error back propagation" algorithm, show how the weights are adjusted for
a 2 Input X 2 Hidden X 1 Output - node ANN system used to train an XOR truth
table. Show one set of complete calculations. Use sigmoidal function as the
activation function in the nodes of Hidden and Output layer. What is "learning
[9]
rate" and "momentum factor" ?

6.

Develop a "distributed parameter model" for a counter-current double pipe heat.

exchanger having the hot fluid in the inside pipe. Define all the variables and state
all the assumptions clearly. Comment on the solution strategy of such model
[9]
equations.

NOTE:

Do not ask any question at the Examination Hall. If in doubt, make suitable assumptions and proceed.
Handwriting and figures should be neat Parts of a question should be answered together, in one place.
