Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 75

Attempt any five questions in all. Selecting one question from each unit.

Unit-1

1. Drive an expression for the COP of Bell Coleman cycle in terms of T1,T2,T3 and T4. (15)
2. A dense air machine operate on a reverse Brayton cycle and is required for a capacity of 10 TR. The cooler pressure is
4.2 bar and refrigerator pressure is 1.4 bar. The air is cooled in a cooler at a temp. of 50 °C and temp. of air at the inlet
to compressor is 20 °C. Determine COP, mass of air circulated per min., theoretical piston displacement of compressor,
theoretical piston displacement of expander and net power per TR. Explain orthogonal rake system in detail. (15)

UNIT-2

3. A 15 TR NH₃ refrigeration plant, the condensing temperature is 25 °C and evaporator temp. -10 °C. The
refrigerator NH₃ is sub cooled by 5°C before passing through throttle valve. The vapour leaving the evaporator
is 0.97 dry, Find the COP and power required. (15)

4. With the help of neat sketch explain the working of a Li-Br absorption refrigeration system. (15)

UNIT-3

5. 800 m3 /min of recirculated air at 22 °C DBT and 10 °C dew point temp is to be mixed with 300 m3 /min of
fresh air at 30 °C DBT and 50% RH. Determine the enthalpy, specific volume, specific humidity and dew point
temperature of the mixture. (15)

6. At a certain locality, the DBT of air is 30 °C and RH is 40%. Determine the specific humidity, dew point temp. and WBT
of the air. IF this air is cooled in an air washer using a recirculated spray water and having a humidifying efficiency of 0.9.
What are the DBT and dew point temp. of air living the air washer? (15)

UNIT-4

7. The following data refers to summer air conditioning of a building:

Outdoor design condition: 43 °C DBT and 27 °C WBT, Inside design condition: 25 °C DBT and 50% RH,
Room sensible heat gain: 84000 kj/hour, Room latent heat gain: 21000 KJ/hour,
By pass factor of coil: 0.2. The return air from the room is mixed with the outside air before entering the
cooling coil in the ratio of 4:1. Determine ADP of the cooling coil, entering and exit conditions of air for cooling
coil, fresh air mass flow rate, draw the layout and psychrometric diagram. Classify the different types of
Measuring Instruments / Methods. (15)

8. Attempt any three of the following: (A) Aircraft cooling, (B) Air washer, (C) Heat pumps, (D) Central air conditioning
system . (15)
