11. An air standard dual cycle has a compression ratio of 16, and compression begins at 1 bar,500°C.
The maximum pressure is 70 bar. The heat transferred to air at constant pressure is equal to heat at
constant volume. Estimate (a) the pressure and temperature at the cardinal points of the cycle.

(c) The M.E.P. of the cycle. Cv = 0.718 kJ/kg K, Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K. (14 marks)

12. A four cylinder diesel engine works on four – stroke cycle has a cylinder bore of 900 mm and a
stroke
of 150 mm. The crank speed is 370 rpm, and fuel consumption is 15 kg/hr, having a calorific value
of 39000 kJ/kg. The indicated mean effective pressure is 5 bar. If the compression ratio is 14 and cut
off ratio is 2.3. Calculate the relative efficiency. Taking ᵧ = 1.4. (14

(b) With neat sketches explain working of a Reheat cycle. (9 Marks)

14. (a) State Dalton’s Law of partial pressure. (4-Marks)

(b) Two vessels are connected by a pipe in which there is a valve. One vesselof 0.3 m³ contains air at 7
Bar and 32°C and the other of 0.03 m³ containsoxygen at 21 Bar and 15°C. The valve is opened and
the two gases are allowedto mix assuming that the system is well lagged. Calculate
(i) the volumetric analysis of the mixture.
(ii) the final temperature of the mixture

15. (a) Derive an expression for work required for single stage reciprocating air compressor neglecting
clearance volume.
(b) A double-acting, single cylinder air compressor runs at 100 r.p.m. The air is compressed from an
initial pressure of 100 kPa (1 bar) to a delivery pressure of 750 kPa (75 bar). The stroke volume is
0.15 m³ and law of compression and expansion is pv1.25 = C. If the clearance volume is 1/18th of
the stroke volume. Calculate: (a) Volumetric efficiency (b) the volume of air taken in per stroke, and
(c) the indicated power of the compressor. (5+9 - Marks)

16. The intake conditions of a single acting two stage air compressor running at 300 rpm are 0.98
bar and 305K. The delivery pressure is 20 bar. The intermediate pressure is 5 bar and the
clearance volume of the low pressure compressor is 4 % of the stroke volume. The compressor
delivers 3 m³/min at 1 bar, 25⁰C. Determine (a) the power required to drive the compressor. (b) the low
pressure cylinder dimensions if L=D, and (c) isothermal efficiency when the inter cooling is perfect and
