ATD 1st Sessional Test

The document is a test paper for a 4th semester engineering course on Applied Thermodynamics and Design (ATD). It contains 5 questions testing knowledge of concepts related to steam generation and boiler systems. Question 1 has parts defining pure substance, steam generation processes, and steam properties. Question 2 involves heat calculations for steam generation. Question 3 requires describing features of specific boiler types. Question 4 differentiates boiler components and compares boiler types, with a part on calculating boiler efficiency. Question 5 involves chimney draft and gas velocity calculations or proving a formula for maximum gas discharge.

Course /Branch: B. Tech. /ME Semester: - 4th 1st Sessional Test


Subject (With Code):- ATD (TME -404)
Session: 2012 -2013 Roll No
Time: 90 minutes Max Marks: 30
Note : Attempt all questions . All question carry equal marks:-
Question1:- Attempt any two 3*2=6
(a) What is pure substance?
(b) Explain the process of steam generation at constant pressure. Show the various stages on P-V
and T-V diagrams.
(c) Define the following terms :-
(i)Sensible heat of water (ii)latent heat of vaporization (iii)Dryness fraction of steam
Question2:- Attempt any two 3*2=6
(a) Determine the quantity of the heat required to produce 1kg of steam at a pressure of 6 bar at a temperature of 25°C ,
under the following condition:
1. When the steam is wet having a dryness fraction 0.9;
2. When the steam is dry saturated
3. When it is superheated at a constant pressure at 250°C assuming the mean specific heat of superheated steam to be
2.3 KJ/Kg K.
(b) Find the internal energy of 1kg of superheated steam at a pressure of 10 bar and 280°C. if this
steam be expanded to a pressure of 1.6 bar and 0.8 dry , determine the change in internal
energy . assume specific heat of superheated steam as 2.1KJ/Kg K.

(c) What amount of heat would be required to produce 4.4 kg of steam at a pressure of 6 bar and
temperature of 250°C from water at 30°C? take specific heat for superheated steam as 2.2 KJ/kg K.

Question 3:- attempt any one 6*1=6


(a) Sketch and describe a cochran boiler. what are its special features.
(b) Sketch and describe the working of a babcock and Wilcox boiler .

Question 4 :- attempt any two 3*2=6


(a) Differentiate between boiler mountings and boiler accessories with examples.
(b) Explain the difference between the fire tube and water tube boiler.
(c) The following observation were made in a boiler trial :
Coal used 250 kg of calorific value 29800 kJ/kg , water evaporated 2000kg, steam pressure
11.5 bar, dryness fraction of steam 0.95 and feed water temperature 34 °C.
Calculate the equivalent evaporation “form and at 100°C” per kg of coal and the efficiency of
the boiler .

Question 5:- attempt any one 6*1=6


(a) A boiler equipped with a chimney of 30 meters height . the flue gases which pass through the chimney are at
temperature of 288°C, where as the atmospheric temperature is 21°C. if the air
flow through the combustion chamber is 18kg/kg of fuel burnt ,
Find: the theoretical draught produced in mm of water and in height of hot gases column, and
2. velocity of the flue gases passing through the chimney ,if 50% of the theoretical draught is lost
in friction at the grate and passage.

(b) Prove that for maximum mass of hot gases discharged through the chimney.
T2/T1= 2(m+1)/m
T1= absolute temperature of cold air
T2= absolute temperature of hot air
m=mass of air supplied in kg/kg of fuel.
