II B.Tech II Semester (R05) Supplementary Examinations, December 2010 THERMAL ENGINEERING-I Time: 3 hours Answer any FIVE questions All questions carry equal marks Max Marks: 80

1. (a) Explain the working principle of a fuel injector with suitable diagram? (b) Discuss the dierences between two-stroke engine and four-stroke engine? 2. (a) What is abnormal combustion in S.I. Engine? Compare the abnormal combustion with normal combustion. (b) Explain the desirable characteristics of a good combustion chamber for S.I.Engine. 3. (a) What are dierent four stages of combustion in C.I. Engine? Explain salient features. (b) How to minimize diesel knock? Explain dierent controlling methods. 4. (a) Derive an expression for the calculation of indicated mean eective pressure. (b) Dene mean eective pressure. A single cylinder 4-stroke CI engine has a bore and stroke of 75mm and 100 mm respectively. Find the bmep if the torque is 25 N-m. 5. (a) Discuss how the clearance aects the performance of multistage compressors. (b) In two stage compressor, prove that the work done on 1 kg of air is minimum with perfect intercooling when the intermediate pressure is the geometric mean of the suction and delivery pressure or pi = pd ps . 6. (a) What is pressure coecient for radial, forward and backward-swept impeller blades. = 1 2 cot 2 and plot 2 curves for radial, forward and backward-swept impeller blades. (b) Prove the following for isentropic ow in a radial-tipped impeller: / 1 = 1; Pro = (1 + u2 2 /Cp T01 ) (c) Determine the pressure ratio developed and the power required to drive centrifugal air Air compressor (impeller diameter = 45 cm)running at 7200 rpm. Assume zero swirl at the entry and T01 = 288K. 7. (a) What are the advantages of using a ash chamber in parallel with evaporator? Show that the use of ash chamber has no eect on the thermodynamics of the cycle and Power required by the system in ideal condition. (b) A compressor 10 cm 10 cm single acting twin cylinder, 900 r.p.m. is working on F-12 with condensing temperature of 380 C and evaporator temperature of 40 C. Compression is isentropic and vapour is just dry and saturated at the end of compression. Calculate. i. The capacity of the refrigerator. ii. Power required to run the compressor if the volumetric eciency of the compressor is 85%. iii. C.O.P. of the system. 8. (a) Dene the term eective temperature and explain its signicance in the design of airconditioning systems. (b) At a certain locality the DBT of air is 300 C and the relative humidity is 40%. Determine the specic humidity and the dew-point and wet bulb temperatures of air. If this air is cooled in an air washer using recirculated spray water and having a humidifying eciency of 0.9, what are the DBT and DPT of air leaving the air washer?
