Assignment 2 Questions (Last Date to Submit – 23-April-2021)


Otto cycle
1. The compression ratio of an air-standard Otto cycle is 9.5. Prior to the isentropic compression
process, the air is at 100 kPa, 35°C, and 600 cm3. The temperature at the end of the isentropic
expansion process is 800 K. Using specific heat values at room temperature, determine (a) the
highest temperature and pressure in the cycle; (b) the amount of heat transferred in, in kJ; (c)
the thermal efficiency; and (d) the mean effective pressure.
Diesel cycle
2. A four-cylinder two-stroke 2.4-L diesel engine that operates on an ideal Diesel cycle has a
compression ratio of 17 and a cutoff ratio of 2.2. Air is at 55°C and 97 kPa at the beginning of
the compression process. Using the cold-airstandard assumptions, determine how much power
the engine will deliver at 1500 rpm.
Gas Turbine Cycle
3. Define Isentropic efficiency of compressor and turbine.
4. A gas-turbine power plant operating on an ideal Brayton cycle has a pressure ratio of 8. The
gas temperature is 300 K at the compressor inlet and 1300 K at the turbine inlet. Utilizing the
air-standard assumptions and assuming a compressor efficiency of 80 percent and a turbine
efficiency of 85 percent, determine (a) the gas temperature at the exits of the compressor and
the turbine, (b) the back work ratio, and (c) the thermal efficiency.

Rankine Cycle
1. A steam power plant operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle between the pressure limits of
3 MPa and 50 kPa. The temperature of the steam at the turbine inlet is 300°C, and the mass
flow rate of steam through the cycle is 35 kg/s. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect
to saturation lines, and determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle and (b) the net power
output of the power plant.
2. Consider a 210-MW steam power plant that operates on a simple ideal Rankine cycle. Steam
enters the turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and is cooled in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa.
Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine (a) the quality
of the steam at the turbine exit, (b) the thermal efficiency of the cycle, and (c) the mass flow
rate of the steam.
3. Consider a steam power plant that operates on a reheat Rankine cycle and has a net power
output of 80 MW. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 10 MPa and 500°C and the low-
pressure turbine at 1 MPa and 500°C. Steam leaves the condenser as a saturated liquid at a
pressure of 10 kPa. The isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 80 percent, and that of the pump
is 95 percent. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram with respect to saturation lines, and determine
(a) the quality (or temperature, if superheated) of the steam at the turbine exit, (b) the thermal
efficiency of the cycle, and (c) the mass flow rate of the steam.
4. A steam power plant operates on an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine
at 6 MPa and 450°C and is condensed in the condenser at 20 kPa. Steam is extracted from the
turbine at 0.4 MPa to heat the feedwater in an open feedwater heater. Water leaves the
feedwater heater as a saturated liquid. Show the cycle on a T-s diagram, and determine (a) the
net work output per kilogram of steam flowing through the boiler and (b) the thermal efficiency
of the cycle.
5. Consider a steam power plant that operates on an ideal reheat–regenerative Rankine cycle with
one open feedwater heater, one closed feedwater heater, and one reheater. Steam enters the
turbine at 15 MPa and 600°C and is condensed in the condenser at a pressure of 10 kPa. Some
steam is extracted from the turbine at 4 MPa for the closed feedwater heater, and the remaining
steam is reheated at the same pressure to 600°C. The extracted steam is completely condensed
in the heater and is pumped to 15 MPa before it mixes with the feedwater at the same pressure.
Steam for the open feedwater heater is extracted from the low-pressure turbine at a pressure of
0.5 MPa. Determine the fractions of steam extracted from the turbine as well as the thermal
efficiency of the cycle. (Use the following figure)
