    Part – A

    1. a. What are the key applications of refrigeration systems? 2


    b. With block diagrams, make a brief comparison between vapour absorption and vapour
    compression refrigeration systems. 4
    c. What is meant by ‘thermal comfort’? What are the functions of an air-conditioner? 2
    d. What are the key components of a central air-conditioning system? With a block diagram
    show the key components. 4

    2. a. What are the key assumptions of an air-standard cycle? 2


    b. Make a brief comparison between SI engine and CI engine. 3
    c. Make a brief compassion between Otto cycle and actual SI engine cycle. 3
    d. What are the key merits and demerits of gas-turbines? 2

    3. a. With block diagram, briefly present the operating cycle of a thermal power plant and
    derive the expression of thermal efficiency of the cycle. 4
    b. Write a short note on supercritical power plants. 2
    c. Why staging is done in steam turbines of a thermal power plant? 2
    d. With block diagram and tentative data, explain the combined-cycle power-plant. 4

    4. a. One medium-sized refrigerator of 1 Ton capacity consumes 1 kW electricity. Estimate the


    COP of the system and heat-rejected by the condenser. 2
    b. Estimate tentative size of the cylinder bore and stroke of a 1500 cc car. 3
    o
    c. A concrete wall of 15 cm thickness has the thermal conductivity of 0.76 W/m C. The value
    of convective heat transfer coefficient is 40 W/m2 oC for both sides of the wall. If inner room
    temperature is 20oC, and outsize temperature is 45oC, estimate the heat transfer inside the
    room per m2 of wall. 3
    d. An electric wire of 3 mm diameter is to be covered with a rubber insulation of thermal
    conductivity 0.15 W/m oC, and external heat transfer coefficient is 50 W/m2 oC, estimate the
    critical thickness of the insulation. 2

    Part B
    1. a. Define the following: 2
    i. boiler equivalent evaporation
    ii. boiler efficiency
    b. Draw a typical water-tube boiler and label the key components. 4
    c. Make a brief comparison between water-tube and fire-tube boilers 2
    d. What is meant by ‘boiler accessories’? Mention two boiler accessories and their
    functions. 2
