a. The cock pit of a jet plane flying at a speed of 1200 km/h is to be cooled by a simple air
M

cooling system. The cock pit is to be maintained at 25°C and the pressure in the cock pit is 1
4-

bar. The ambient air pressure and temperature are 0.85 bar and 30°C. The other data available
|1

is as follows: Cock-pit cooling load= 10 TR; Main compressor pressure ratio =4; Ram
efficiency = 90%; Temperature of air leaving the heat exchanger and entering the cooling
turbine = 60°C; pressure drop in the heat exchanger= 0.5 bars; Pressure loss between the
cooler turbine and cock pit = 0.2 bar. Assuming the isentropic efficiencies of main
compressor and cooler turbine as 80%, find the quantity of air passed through the cooling
turbine and C. O.P. of the system. Take γ = 1.4 and CP = 1 kJ/kg K.
b. Explain, with a neat sketch, the working principle of boot-strap type of air refrigeration
system with T-S diagram.

4. Attempt any one part of the following: (7x1=7)

a. Discuss the effect of change in Suction and discharge pressure in vapour compression
refrigeration system?
b. In a 15 TR ammonia plant, compression is carried out in two stages with water inter-cooling
and flash inter-cooling and water sub-cooling. The particulars of the plant are as follows:
Condenser pressure = 12 bar, Evaporator pressure = 3 bar, Flash intercooler pressure = 6 bar,
limiting temperature for inter-cooling and sub-cooling = 20°C. Draw the cycle on p-h chart
and estimate (a) the coefficient of performance of the plant, (b) the power required for each
compressor, (c) the swept volume foreach compressor if the volumetric efficiency of both the
compressors is 80%.

5. Attempt any one part of the following: (7x1=7)

a. In an absorption type refrigerator, the heat is supplied to NH3 generator by condensing steam
at 2 bar and 90% dry. The temperature in the refrigerator is to be maintained at-5° C. Find the
maximum C.O.P. possible, if the refrigeration load is 20 tonnes and actual C.O.P. is 70% of
the maximum C.O.P, find the mass of steam required per hour. Take temperature of the
atmosphere as 30° C.

following: CHCLF2, CH2F-CF3, and NH3.
