Measure 1 : The equipment cost is Rs. 20,000 and pays back Rs. 15,000 in two years.

Measure 2 : The equipment cost is Rs. 15,000 and pays back Rs. 8,000 per year for two
years.

Determine the best alternative for interest rate as 10%.

8. Discuss energy conservation measures in Boilers. 7

9. Discuss energy conservation measures in steel industry. 7

10. Discuss the energy conservation measures in motors. 7

11. Write short notes on the following : 4+3=7

June 2011

1. Describe the advantages of evaporative coolers as compared to air conditioner. How

do you decide the size of evaporative cooler needed for a room ? (7)

2. Discuss atleast four pressure measuring devices. 7

3. (a) A system takes 150 units of energy and converts only 120 units of energy into
useful work. What is the efficiency of the system ?

(b) An engine pumps up 1000 kg of water through a height of 10 m in 5 seconds. If the

efficiency of the engine is 60%, calculate the power of the engine in kilowatt. Take g
=10 ms -2. (2+5=7)

4. Define Energy Audit. Also discuss energy management with the help of suitable
examples. (7)

5. Explain in brief the energy conservation measures in different industrial processes. (7)

6. A house is fitted with 10 lamps, rated 100 W each, four fans each consuming 0.5 A,
an electric kettle of resistance 100 Ω and an electric iron of resistance 121 Ω If the
energy is supplied at 200 V and cost Rs. 3/- per kWh, calculate the bill for running the
appliances for four hours in a day for the month of February 2012. (7)

7. Explain in brief the condensate recovery from boiler feed water. (7)

Coal consumption = 82060 kg
Electricity consumption = 42060 kWh
Steel production = 600 tonne.
Calorific value of coal = 5800 kCal/kg.
Compute the specific energy consumption.

9. List out the guidelines for energy conservation of a chemical industry. (7)

10. There are two energy conservation measures as described below : (7)
Energy Conservation Measure I :
The equipment costs Rs. 18000/- and pays back Rs. 24000/- in two years.
Energy Conservation Measure II :

The equipment costs Rs. 12000/- and pay back Rs. 8000/- each year for two years.
If the interest rate is 8%, determine the best alternative.
