17. Explain the heat balance sheet.

18. A convergent-divergent nozzle is to be designed in which steam initially at 14 bar and 2750C is to be expanded down to a back pressure of 1.05 bar. Determine necessary throat and exit diameters of the nozzle for a steam discharge of 500 kg/hr, assuming that the expansion is in thermal equilibrium throughout and friction reheat amounting to 12% of the total isentropic enthalpy drop to be effective in the divergent part of the nozzle.
(OR)
19. Dry saturated steam at a pressure of 15 bar enters in a nozzle and is discharged at a pressure of 1.5 bar. Find the final velocity of the steam, when the initial velocity of steam is negligible. If 10% of heat drop is lost in friction, find the percentage reduction in the final velocity.

20. Explain the velocity-pressure compounding of a impulse turbine.
(OR)
21. Draw the velocity triangles and derive the efficiencies.

22. Following data relate to a performance test of a single stage, single-acting air compressor : D = 14 cm; L = 10 cm; suction pressure = 1 bar; suction temperature = 200C; discharge pressure = 6 bar; discharge temperature = 1800C; speed of compressor = 1200 rpm; shaft power = 6.25 kW; mass of air delivered = 1.7 kg/min. Determine the following: a. The actual volumetric efficiency b. The indicated power c. The isothermal efficiency d. The mechanical efficiency. Take Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg K.
(OR)
23. A two-stage single acting air compressor takes in air at the rate of 0.2 m3/sec. The intake pressure and temperature of air are 0.1 MPa and 160C. The air is compressed to a final pressure of 0.7 MPa. The intermediate pressure is ideal and intercooling is perfect. The compression index in both the stages is 1.25 and the compressor runs at 600 rpm. Neglecting clearance, determine : a. the intermediate pressure b. the total volume of each cylinder c. the power required to drive the compressor. Take Cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg K.
