SECTION-C
Answer two questions out of four questions. (16X2)
Q3. It is desired to compress 20 kg of gas from 2.5 m 3 to 0.5m3 at constant pressure of 20
bar. During this compression process, the temperature rises from 200Cto 1400C and increase
in internal energy is 3500 kJ. Calculate the work done, heat inter action and change in
enthalpy during the process. Also, find out the average value of specific heat at constant
pressure.
Q4. 680 kg of fish at 50C are to be frozen and stored at -[Link] specific heat of fish above
freezing point is 3.182 and below freezing point is 1.717 KJ/kg. The freezing point is -2 0C,
and the latent heat of fusion is 234.5 KJ/kg. How much heat must be removed to cool the
fish, and what percent of this is latent heat?
Q5. A mass of 8kg expands within a flexible container so that the p-v relationship is of the
form pv1.2 = constant. The initial pressure is 1000 KPa and the initial volume is 1m3. The
final pressure is 5 kPa. If specific internal energy of the gas decreases by 40 KJ/kg, find the
heat transfer in magnitude and direction.
Q6. Air at a temperature of 150C passes through a heat exchanger at a velocity of 30 m/s
0
where its temperature is raised to 800 [Link] then enters a turbine with the same velocity of 30
m/s and expands until the temperature falls to 650 0C. On leaving turbine, the air is taken at a
velocity of 60 m/s to a nozzle where it expands until the temperature is fallen to 500 0C. If the
air flow rate is 2 kg/s, calculate (a) the rate of heat transfer to the air in the heat exchanger,
(b) the power output from the turbine assuming no heat loss, and (c) the velocity at exit from
the nozzle, assuming no heat loss. Take the enthalpy of air as h = c p t, where cp is the specific
heat equal to 1.005 kJ/kg K and t is the temperature.
