kg/hr. Heat is exchanged only with the surrounding atmosphere at 50C. Determine
the maximum possible power output. [6+10]

6.a) Differentiate among dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature and dew point
temperature. Under what conditions these three are same.
b) A volume 0.1 m3 of air at 1 bar and 270C undergoes a resisted isothermal process

internal energy and entropy for the air during the given process. [8+8]

7.a) Discuss the use of air standard cycle analysis for dual cycle and derive its thermal
efficiency.
b) An engine of 250 mm bore and 375 mm stroke works on Otto cycle. The
clearance volume is 0.00263 m3. The initial pressure is limited to 25 bar, find the
following:
i) Air standard efficiency of the cycle.
ii) Mean effective pressure for the cycle. [6+10]

8.a) Derive the efficiency of Erricsion cycle and discuss the salient points.
b) A refrigerator working on bell-Coleman cycle operates between pressure limits of
1.05 bar and 8.5bar. Air is drawn from the cold chamber at 100C, compressed and
it is cooled to 30 0C before entering the expansion cylinder. The expansion and
compression follows the law pv1.3 = constant. Determine the theoretical C.O.P. of
