2. A turbo jet engine flying at a speed of 800 Km/hr consumes air at the rate of 45 Kg/s.
tp
Calculate (a) Jet exit velocity, the enthalpy change for the nozzle is 44.5 Kcal/Kg and the
velocity coefficient is 0.95 (b) Fuel flow in Kg/hr and thrust specific fuel consumption
assuming that air fuel ratio is 80.

5. A) Classify air compressor and enlist its applications in industry.
B) Show that axial flow compressor with 50% reaction has symmetrical bladings.
6. The centrifugal compressor of a gas turbine requires 3000 H.P. when running at 16000
rpm. The tip diameter of the impeller is 50 cm and the uniform width of casting of the
/
vortex chamber between impeller and diffuser is 4 cm. Measurement show that the
om
static pressure and temperature at a radius of 27 cm are 2.5Kgf/cm 2. Assuming slip
factor 0.94 and neglecting friction in-the vortex chamber, calculate the mass flow.

7. Derive the expression for thrust power, propulsion energy, propulsion and thermal
ul
efficiencies for a propulsive system.
es
8. A) Derive an expression for the optimum pressure ratio giving maximum specific
output in simple cycle gas turbine.
B) A gas turbine plant works between the fixed adiabatic temperatures limits 3000
er
°K and 900 °K, the absolute limits being 1 Kgf/cm 2 and 4 Kgf/cm 2. The isentropic
efficiency of the blower is 0.8 and that of turbine is 0.85. Estimate the actual thermal
efficiency of the plant. Calorific value is 10000 Kcal/Kg.
