    Q 1. Steam enters a turbine at a static pressure, a static temperature and a flow velocity of 60 bar,
    550 oC and 200 m/s respectively. At the turbine exit, the static pressure, static temperature
    and velocity are 7 bar, 300 oC and 250 m/s respectively. Heat transfer during expansion
    process is neglected. Draw the T-s diagram of the process and calculate: (a) the total pressure
    and total temperature at the inet, (b) the total pressure and total temperature at exit and (c)
    total-to-total efficiency (d) total-to-static efficiency. Use steam tables for the calculations.
    Q 2. Air flows through an air turbine where its stagnation pressure is decreased in the ratio 5:1. The
    total-to-total efficiency is 0.8 and the air flow rate is 5kg/s. If the total power output is 405 kW,
    find: (a) inlet total temperature, (b) actual exit total temperature, (c) actual exit static
    temperature if the exit velocity is 100 m/s and (d) total-to-static efficiency of the device.
    Q 3. An axial flow pump with a rotor diameter of 30 cm handles water at the rate of 2.7 m 3min
    while operating at 1500 RPM. The corresponding energy input is 125 J/kg, the total-to-total
    efficiency being 75%. If a second geometrically similar pump with a diameter of 20 cm
    operates at 3000 rpm, what are its: (a) flow rate (b) change in total pressure and (c) input
    power

    power assuming a turbine total-to-total efficiency of 0.79 (ii) the power output of the actual
    turbine which is twelve times the model size, assuming that the model and turbine efficiencies
    are related by Moody’s formula, (iii) what type of turbine is this?
    Moody’s equation is given as, η=1−( 1− ή ) ( D́ /D )
    where,
     efficiency of prototype of diameter D
    ’ efficiency of model of diameter D’
    Q 6. In a mixed flow turbomachine, the rotor speed is 4800 RPM. The radius at the inlet is 7.5 cm
    and the exit radius is 15 cm. The fluid with a specific gravity of 0.81 enters the turbomachine
    axially. The relative velocity at he exit is also axial and equals the axial velocity at the rotor
    inlet in magnitude. Find: (a) the change in the total enthalpy from inlet to exit of rotor, (b)
    power/(kg/s)of fluid flow, (c) the change in the total pressure, if the total-to-total efficiency of
    the machine is 0.8.
    Q 7. In an axial flow turbine, the flow exit angle of the stator and the relative flow angle of the
    rotor is 20o. The velocity magnitude of the fluid at the exit of the stator blade is 1410 m/s. The
    flow coefficient is 0.7 at the entry and 0.76 at the exit of the rotor blade. Find the inlet rotor
    blade angle, power developed by the stage for a mass flowrate of 2.6 kg/s and degree of
    reaction.
    Q 8. The axial component of the air velocity at the exit of the nozzle of an axial flow reaction stage
    is 180 m/s. Stator blade inlet angle is 27 o. Find the rotor blade inlet and exit angles if the
    degree of reaction is 50% and the blade speed is 180 m/s.
