GATE ME 2016 Set 1

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

The INCORRECT statement about regeneration in vapor power cycle is that

It increases the irreversibility by adding the liquid with higher energy content to the steam generator

Heat is exchanged between the expanding fluid in the turbine and the compressed fluid before heat addition

The principle is similar to the principle of Stirling gas cycle

It is practically implemented by providing feed water heaters

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

In a power plant, water (density $$ = 1000\,\,kg/{m^3}$$ ) is pumped from $$80$$ $$kPa$$ to $$3$$ $$MPa$$. The pump has an isentropic efficiency of $$0.85.$$ Assuming that the temperature of the water remains the same, the specific work (in $$kJ/kg$$) supplied to the pump is

$$0.34$$

$$2.48$$

$$2.92$$

$$3.43$$

GATE ME 2003

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

In a Rankine cycle, regeneration results in higher efficiency because

pressure inside the boiler increases

heat is added before steam enters the low pressure turbine

average temperature of heat addition in the boiler increases

total work delivered by the turbine increases
