Q.3 A) Derive and explain Clausius- Claperyon equation. (07)
B) Explain Rankine cycle with p-V and T-s diagram. Derive also the expression for its efficiency. (08)
OR
B) A reversible heat engine operates between two reservoirs at C and C. The engine drives (08)
a reversible refrigerator which operates between the same C reservoir and reservoir
at C. The heat absorbed by engine is 2500 kJ and there is a network output of 400 kJ from
the combined plant. Evaluate the heat transfer to refrigerator and net heat transfer to C
reservoir.
