A thermal power plant generates 4000 KW and 400 KW for auxiliaries. Determine th net thermal efficiency if the heat generated by fuel is 15,000 KW.

A cube (40 mm) is resting on ground and all vertical faces are equally inclined to the vertical plane. A sectional plane, inclined to horizontal plane and perpendicular to the vertical plane is cutting the cube to get a regular hexagonal cutting shape (true shape) on cube. Find the angle of the cutting plane to the horizontal and draw the projections of cube (front view and sectional top view). Develop the true shape of the cutting surface.

A steady stream of air enters a horizontal compressor at the rate of 0.02 kg/s. The air temperature is 10o C at entry and 300o C at exit. The velocity of the air is 30 m/s at entry and 6 m/s at exit. During its passage through the compressor, the air experiences a heat loss of 105 kJ/kg of air. Calculate: (a) The change in kinetic energy per kg of air (b) The change in enthalpy per kg of air (c) The work done per kg of air (d) The power required to drive the compressor (e) The volume of air entering the compressor per second (f) The flow area of the entry pipe if the entry pressure is 1 bar Take R = 0.287 kJ/kgK and cp = 1.005 kJ/kgK

he engine mechanism shown in Fig. 8.38 has crank OB = 50 mm and length of connecting rod A B = 225 mm. The centre of gravity of the rod is at G which is 75 mm from B. The engine speed is 200r.p.m. For the position shown, in which OB is turned 45° from O A, Find 1. the velocity of G and the angular velocity of A B, and 2. the acceleration of G and angular acceleration of A B.

Cone A turns 125 rpm and cone B turns 164 rpm. Calculate the cone angle for the smaller cone if the shaft angle is 60°. Write your answer to 2 decimal places
