TOTAL MARKS: 100
TOTAL TIME: 3 HOURS
(1) Question 1 is compulsory.
(2) Attempt any four from the remaining questions.
(3) Assume data wherever required.
(4) Figures to the right indicate full marks.
1 (a) Define Refrigeration. State types of refrigeration systems. Explain Bell-Coleman air refrigeration cycle.(7 marks) 1 (b) An air refrigeration open system operating between 100 KPa and 1 MPa is required to produce a cooling effect of 2000 kJ/min.
