    EXAMINATION OF MARINE ENGINEER OFFICER
    Function: Marine Engineering at Operational Level
    HEAT ENGINES

    M.E.O. Class IV
    (Time allowed - 3hours)
    India (2004) Afternoon Paper Total Marks 100

    NB : (1) All Questions are Compulsary


    (2) All Questions carry equal marks
    (3) Neatness in handwriting and clarity in expression carries weightage
    (4) Illustration of an Answer with clear sketches / diagrams carries weightage.

    1. One side of a steel plate is exposed to a stream of hot gases and the other side to an air stream.
    The plate is 13 mm thick and the surface temperatures of the plate are at 230°C and 150°C. If the
    coefficient of thermal conductivity of the steel is 44 W/m K, calculate the heat transferred per
    square metre of plate area per minute.

    2. Steam leaves the nozzles and enters the blade wheel of a single-stage impulse turbine at a velocity
    of 840 m/s and at an angle of 20° to the plane of rotation. The blade velocity is 350 m/s and the
    exit angle of the blades is 25° 12'. Due to friction, the steam loses 20% of its relative velocity
    across the blades. Calculate (i) the blade inlet angle, (ii) the magnitude and direction of the
    absolute velocity of the steam at exit.

    3. Oil flows full bore at a velocity of 2 m/s through a nest of 16 tubes in a single pass cooler. The
    internal diameter of the tubes is 30 mm and the density of the oil is 0.85 g/ml. Find the volume
    flow in liters per second and the mass flow in kg/minute.

    4. Define water equivalent of a mass of a substance. Explain same with the help of an example of
    an aluminum vessel of 2kg mass. Take specific heat of aluminum as
    0.912 kJ/kgK

    5. Taking the characteristic gas constant R for nitrogen as 0.297 kJ/kgK, calculate (a) the mass of
    0.05 m3 of nitrogen at 550 kN/m2 and 28C, (b) the volume of 1 kg nitrogen at 1 MN/m2 and 0C.

    6. Explain with the help of a valve timing diagram, the working of a 4-stroke cycle diesel engine.
    Mark the approximate angles in degrees.

    7. A motor driven three-stage single-acting tandem air compressor runs at 170 rev/min. The high
    pressure and low pressure cylinder diameters are 75 mm and 350 mm diameter respectively, and
    the stroke is 300 mm. Find the time to pump up air reservoirs of 22m 3 total capacity from 19 bar
    gauge to 30 bar gauge, taking the volumetric efficiency as 0.92 and atmospheric pressure as 1.01
    bar.

    8. The area of an indicator card taken off the high pressure cylinder of a quadruple expansion engine
    is 1445 mm2, the length is 80 mm, and one millimeter of height represents 0.27 bar. The bore of
    the cylinder is 600 mm, piston stroke 1050 mm, and the engine runs at 1.65 rev/s. Calculate (a) the
    indicated power developed in this cylinder, (b) the total indicated power of the engine assuming
    equal powers are developed in all cylinders.
    9. An oil fuel is composed of 86% carbon, 11% hydrogen, 2% oxygen and 1% impurities. Calculate
    the calorific value and theoretical minimum mass of air required to burn 1 kg of the fuel, taking
    the calorific value of carbon and hydrogen as 33.7 and 144 MJ/kg respectively.

    10. Freon-12 leaves the condenser of a refrigerating plant as a saturated liquid at 5.673 bar. The
    evaporator pressure is 1.509 bar and the refrigerant leaves the evaporator at this pressure and at a
    temperature of -5C. Calculate (a) the dryness fraction of the refrigerant as it enters the evaporator,
    (b) the refrigerating effect per kg.
