1. The document contains questions related to thermal engineering-II. It includes questions on steam condensers, impulse turbines, reaction turbines, bypass turbojet engines, pulse jet engines, closed cycle and open cycle gas turbines, regenerators, air-fuel ratios in gas turbines, and other gas turbine concepts. 2. The questions are divided into descriptive questions and objective/multiple choice questions. The descriptive questions cover topics like classifications of steam condensers, comparisons of impulse and reaction turbines, calculations for a reaction turbine stage, descriptions of bypass turbojet engines and applications of pulse jet engines, differences between closed and open cycle plants, and calculations of air-fuel ratios. 3. The objective questions test understanding of concepts like
