1. (c) A fluid system undergoes a non-flow frictionless process following the pressure-volume relation as
P = (5/V) + 1.5 where p is in bar and V is in m3. During the process the volume changes from 0.15m3 to 0.05m3
and the system rejects 45 kJ of heat.
1. (d) A reversible heat pump is used to maintain a temperature of 0°C in a refrigerator when it rejects
the heat to the surroundings at 25°C. (1) If the heat removal rate from the refrigerator is 1440 kJ/min,
determine the C.O.P. of the machine and work input required. (ii) If the required input to run the pump is
developed by a reversible engine which receives heat at 3800 C and rejects heat to atmosphere, then
determine the overall C.O.P. of the system.

5. (b) A body, resting on a rough horizontal plane, required a pull of 180 N inclined at 30° to the plane

are valid in practice?

6. (a) The turning moment diagram for a multicylinder engine has been drawn to a scale 1mm=600Nm vertically
and 1mm=3° horizontally. The intercepted areas between the output torque curve and the mean resistance line,
taken in order from one end, are as follows: +52, -124, +92, -140, +85, -72 and +107mm, when the engine is

6. (C) A cam is to give the following motion to a knife-edged follower: (i) Outstroke during 60° of cam rotation; (ii)
Dwell for the next 30° of cam rotation; (iii) Return stroke during next 60° of cam rotation, and (iv) Dwell for the
remaining 2100 of cam rotation. The stroke of the follower is 40 mm and the minimum radius of the cam is 50 mm.

when the axis of the follower passes through the axis of the cam shaft.
