POWERPLANT ENGINEERING- REVIEW SET

1. Steam enters the superheaters of a boiler at a pressure of 25 bar and dryness


of 0.98 and leaves at the same pressure at a temperature of 370 ºC. Calculate the
heat energy supplied in the suerheaters. Properties of steam: At 25 bar and 370
ºC (h= 3171.8kJ/kg) and at 25 bar and 0.98 dryness (hf =962.11kJ/kg, hfg
=1841.01kJ/kg).

2. Determine the average Cp value in kJ/kg-K of a gas if 522 kJ of heat is


necessary to raise the temperature from 300 K to 800 K making the pressure
constant.

3. Determine the force in Newtons required to produce an acceleration of 0.30


m/s2 on a 0.05 kg mass

4. A water temperature rise of 18 ºF in the water cooled condenser is equivalent


in ºC t

5. Steam enters a throttling calorimeter at a pressure of 1.03 Mpa. The


calorimeter downstream pressure and temperature are respectively 0.100 Mpa
and 125 ºC. what is the percentage moisture of the supply steam? Properties of
steam: P= 1.03 Mpa hg = 2279.25kJ/kg At 0.100 Mpa and 125 ºC: h=
2726.6kJ/kg.

6. An OTTO Engine has a clearance volume of 7%. It produces 300 kW of power.


What is the amount of heat rejected in kW?

7. An air standard has a compression ratio of 20 and a cut-off ratio of 5. If the air
pressure and temperature are 100 kPa and 27 °C, find the work in kJ/kg

8. The compression ratio of an engine working on the constant volume cycle is 9.3
to 1. At the beginning of compression the the temperature is 31 °C and at the end
of combustion the temperature is 1205 °C. Taking the compression and expansion
to be adiabatic and the value of k as 1.4. Calculate the theoretical thermal
efficiency.

9. The stroke of a petrol engine is 87.5 mm and the clearance is equal to 12.5 mm.
A compression plate is now fitted which has the effect of reducing the clearance
to 10 mm. Assuming the compression period to be the whole stroke, the pressure
at the beginning of compression as 98.29 kPa and the law of compression PV1..35
= C, calculate the pressure at the end of compression before and after the
compression plate is fitted.

10. In an Otto engine if the compression ratio is 5.5, what is the percent
clearance?

11. What is the calorific value and the minimum mass of air required per kilogram
of fuel oil which is composed of 85.2% carbon, 12% hydrogen, 1.6% oxygen and
1.2% impurities.

12. A diesel power plant uses fuel with heating value of 43,000 kJ/kg. What is the
density of the fuel at 25 °C?

13. Calculate the calorific value of coal which has the following analysis: Carbon
81%, Hydrogen 5%, Oxygen 5.6%, Sulfur 1% and the remainder is ash content

14. A diesel engine consumes 650 liters of fuel at 26°C in 24 hours with 28°API.
Determine the fuel rate in kg/hour.

15. Steam flows through a nozzle at 400°C and 1 MPa (h = 3263.9 kJ/kg) with
velocity of 300 m/s. Find the stagnation enthalpy.
