B.E. - Cycle Test-I, July 2014 Semester Subject Code & Title: ME 2301 THERMAL ENGINEERING Time Answer ALL Questions Part A - (5 X 2 10 Marks)

This document contains instructions for a Thermal Engineering exam, including two parts with multiple choice and long answer questions. Part A contains 5 short answer questions about air standard cycle assumptions, plotting cycles on P-V and T-S diagrams, expressions for mean effective pressure and engine cycles. Part B contains two long answer questions, one about deriving expressions for efficiency and mean effective pressure of Brayton and Otto cycles, and the other about analyzing the processes of an engine running on an Otto cycle. The document provides context for the exam and outlines the questions and potential answers examinees should include in their responses.
