Question Paper
Discuss the different criteria for selection for a site and also discuss the points of consideration of layout of a thermal power plant.
What do you understand by proximate and ultimate analysis of coal What are the uses of these analyses when coal is to be used as fuel in thermal power plants
What are the different types of nuclear reactions that take place Explain the significance of each in nuclear power generation.
What are the different types of nuclear wastes Which are more dangerous and why How do you dispose the nuclear wastes
Explain the working principle of a closed cycle gas turbine plant with help of a block diagram.
In an air standard gas turbine cycle, air at a temperature of 15°C and a pressure of 1·01 bar enters the compressor where it is compressed through a pressure ratio of 5. Combustion products enter the turbine at a temperature of 815°C and expand to the original pressure of 1·01 bar. Determine the ratio of turbine work to compressor work and the thermal efficiency when the engine operates on ideal Brayton cycle.
How are the hydro turbines classified What points should be considered while selecting a right type of hydro turbine
A hydro turbine is to operate under a head 25 metres at 200 rpm. The discharge is 9 and the efficiency is 90%. Determine:
Specific speed of the turbine
Power generated
List the essential components of a diesel power plant and explain them briefly.
During the trial of a four-stroke diesel engine, the following observations were recorded:
Area of indicator diagram 475 mm^2 Spring index =1.1 bar/mm Length of indicator diagram. 62 mm Dia of piston 100 mm Length of stroke 150 mm Engine speed 375 rpm Determine the
indicated mean effective pressure
indicated power.
Enumerate and explain briefly the various methods to calculate the depreciation cost of a power plant.
What do you understand by the term 'tariff' What are the objectives and requirement of tariff
7. Write short notes on the following:
Co-generation
Supercharging
Plant Load Factor
Superheater
