Q17: air conditioning system works on which thermodynamic cycle? Capacity of air conditioner is measured by
which units?
Q19: A babcock-wilcox boiler is used to convert 12,000 gallons of water in steam by burning 5 ton of fuel. If
we use less amount of fuel to convert same amount of water into steam, what we should use? How these things
help to lower the cost of steam conversion?

Q18: Students went to visit a power plant, where demonstrator said that the power plant is Gas turbine based
power plant and it operates on Brayton Cycle, which consists of four processes: Adiabatic compression in the
compressor, Constant pressure fuel combustion (idealized as constant pressure heat addition),Adiabatic
expansion in the turbine and exhaust nozzle, with which we take some work out of the air and use it to drive the
compressor, and take the remaining work out and use it to accelerate fluid for jet propulsion, or to turn a
generator for electrical power generation, Cool the air at constant pressure back to its initial condition. The
demonstrator asked them several question:
(a)Why do we say the combustion in a gas turbine engine is constant pressure?
(b)What is compressor back work ratio? Why it is relatively high in gas turbine engines? What are typical
values of it for gas turbine engines?
(c) Draw the p-v, t-s diagram of a open cycle gas turbine with its schematic diagram.
