(Electrical and Electronics Engineering)
Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 70
Note: 1. Question Paper consists of two parts (Part-A and Part-B)
2. Answer ALL the question in Part-A
3. Answer any THREE Questions from Part-B

PART –A

1. a) Explain the principle of carburetion. (5M)


b) Ten kg of water at 450C is heated at constant pressure of 10 bar until it becomes (5M)
superheated vapor at 3000C. Find the changes in volume, enthalpy, internal energy
and entropy.

PART –B

2. a) Mention the various parameters which affect the engine heat transfer and explain (8M)
their effect.
b) Clearly explain the various desired properties of a lubricant and explain how (8M)
additives help to achieve the desired properties.

efficiency and power output of a Rankine cycle:
i) condenser pressure ii) boiler pressure.
b) Steam with absolute velocity of 300 m/s is supplied through a nozzle to a single (9M)
stage impulse turbine. The nozzle angle is 250. The mean diameter of the blade
rotor is 1 meter and it has a speed of 2000 rpm. Find suitable blade angles for zero
axial thrust. If the blade velocity coefficient is 0.9 and the steam flow rate is 10
kg/s, calculate the power developed.

4. a) Explain why a low pressure ratio is used in gas turbines compared with I.C. engine. (7M)
What is the range?
b) A closed cycle gas turbine consists of a two- compressor and a two-stage turbine. (9M)
All the components are mounted on the same shaft. The pressure and temperature
at the inlet of the first stage compressor are 2 bar and 250C. The maximum cycle
temperature and pressure are limited to 8500C and 8 bar. A perfect cooler is used
between the two compressors and a reheater is used between the two turbines.
Gases are heated in the reheater to 8500C before entering into the L.P turbine.

efficiency without regenerator, ii) with regenerator whose effectiveness is 0.65, and
iii) if the I.P. developed by the plant is 310 kW. Find the mass of the fluid
circulated. Air is used in the cycle as working fluid ϒ=1.4 and Cp=1 kJ/kg-K.

5. a) Derive the expression for force and work done per second by the jet when it strikes (8M)
the inclined plate moving in the direction of the jet.
b) Why does a centrifugal pump get its name? Explain the working of a centrifugal (8M)
pump with a neat diagram showing different parts.

6. a) With the help of a neat diagram, explain the construction and working of a Kaplan (7M)
turbine.

The side clearance angle is 150 and discharge through the nozzle is 0.1 m3/s.
Determine the power available at the nozzle and hydraulic efficiency of the turbine.

7. a) What is hydroelectric power station? What are its elements? Discuss them one by (8M)
one elaborately with neat sketches.
b) Explain power duration curve in detail. (8M)
