6.. What is the quality of steam or dryness fraction?


Answer: Refers class notes
7. What are the advantages of reheat cycle?
Answer: Refers class notes
8. Define the following terms in relation to reciprocating engine: dead centre, stroke,
and mean effective pressure.
Answer: Refers class notes
9. What is intercooling in gas turbine?
Answer: The compression process in the compressor unit of gas turbine is achieved in
two or more stages and intercooling is done at constant pressure after every stage which
is done with help of water cooled surface heat exchanger. The cooled air has a lesser
volume so it reduces compressor work without affecting the turbine work.
10. Define velocity of the flow and velocity of whirl and explain their significance.
Answer: Refers class notes

11.What are main requirements of a good steam boilers?


Answer: Refers class notes
12. Define equivalent evaporation.
Answer: Refers class notes
13. Define the term vacuum efficiency and condenser efficiency.
Answer: Refers class notes
14. What is the role of baffle plate and extraction pump in jet condenser?
Answer: Refers class notes
15. Define adiabatic flame temperature.
Answer: Refers class notes
16. What are the limitations of carnot vapour cycle?
Answer: Refers class notes
17. What are the effects of friction on the flow through a steam nozzle?
Answer: Refers class notes
18. How regeneration in gas turbine increase thermal efficiency of the plant?
Answer: Refers class notes
19. What is the basic difference between rocket and jet propulsion?
Answer: Refers class notes
20. What do you mean by Draught?
Answer: The small pressure difference which causes a flow of gas to take place is termed as a
draught.
20. Make comparison between artificial over natural draught?
Answer:
Natural Draught Artificial Draught
a) draught produced by the chimney is due a) draught produced by fan or blower
to density difference between the column
of hot gases inside the chimney and the
cold air outside
b) it produces low pressure differences b) it produces low pressure differences
c) Chimney height should high c) it reduces Chimney height
22. What is bleeding?
Answer: Bleeding is the process of draining steam from the turbine at certain point
during its expansion , and using this steam for heating the feed water supplied to the
boiler. Due to this process efficiency is slightly increased.
23. Define propeller efficiency.
Answer: The ratio of thrust power to propulsive power is called the propulsive
efficiency of the propulsive unit
24. What are the elements of steam condensing plant?
25. What are the characteristics of an ideal fluid in vapour power cycle?
27. Differentiate between Rankine cycle and modified Rankine cycle.
28. Draw indicator diagram with and without clearance in steam engine.
29. What are the effects of friction on the flow through a steam nozzle?
30. Define the stage efficiency and speed ratio of the steam turbine.
31. What is super saturated flow in nozzle?
32. Explain about cogeneration.
33. How regeneration in gas turbine increase thermal efficiency of the plant?
34. What are the difference between turbojet engine and turboprop engine?
Answer: Refers class notes
