Practice Test: Question Set - 01
1. The thermal efficiency of the engine with condenser as compared to without condenser, for a given pressure and temperature of steam, is
- (A) Higher
- (B) Lower
- (C) Same as long as initial pressure and temperature is
unchanged
- (D) None of the above
2. In a regenerative surface condenser
- (A) There is one pump to remove air and condensate
- (B) There are two pumps to remove air and condensate
- (C) There are three pumps to remove air, vapor and
condensate

operating between same pressure limit
- (C) Has same thermal efficiency as Carnot cycle
operating between same pressure limits
- (D) May be more or less depending upon the
magnitude of p1 and p2
8. In a regenerative feed heating cycle, the optimum value of the fraction of steam extracted for feed heating
