ASSIGNMENT
1. Lay down the procedure for determination of minimum air required for complete
combustion of coal.
2. Determine the external work done during the evaporation and internal latent heat at a
pressure of 1 Mpa and dryness fraction of 0.80.
3. What do you understand by ‘minimum air’ and ‘excess air’ in context of combustion?
4. Determine the amount of heat required to generate 5 kg of steam at a pressure of 10 bar and
temperature of 250°C from water at 25°C. Take specific heat for superheated steam as 2.1
kJ/kg K.
5. 3 kg. of steam at 10 bar and 250°C undergoes a constant pressure process. The resulting
steam is wet having dryness fraction 0.6. Calculate (a) work done (b) change in enthalpy (c)
heat transferred assuming non flow process.
7. Describe the process of formation of steam and give its graphical representation also.
8. Explain the following terms relating to steam formation:
e) Superheated steam
2. A pressure cooker contains 1.5kg of saturated steam at 5bar. Find the quantity of heat which
must be rejected so as to reduce the quality to 60% dry. Determine the pressure and temperature
of steam at the new state.
3. A blast furnace gas has the following volumetric composition. CO2 = 11%; CO = 27%, H2
= 2%; N2 = 60%. Find the theoretical volume of air required for the complete combustion of
1 m3 of the gas. Find also the percentage composition of dry flue gases by volume. Assume
that air contains 21% of O2 and 79% of N2 by volume.
4. What is quality of steam? What are the different methods of its measurement? Why can’t a
throttling calorimeter measure the quality, if the steam is very wet? How it is measured then?
