SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans (d)
Sol. Due to decrease in flowrate velocity head loss as well as frictional loss decreases, by applying the Bernoulli’s equation, pump static suction pressure will increase.
As a result of this, NPSH will increases.
S2. Ans (d)
Sol. Buoyancy depends upon water volume displaced by body.
If volumes will be the same then lose in the weight of the body will also be the same.
S3. Ans (c)
Sol. X-ray diffraction method is used for the study of the material internal structure.
S4. Ans (d)
Sol. Precipitation hardening, also called age or particle hardening, is a heat treatment process that helps make metals stronger. The process does this by producing uniformly dispersed particles within a metal’s grain structure that help hinder motion and thereby strengthen it.
S5. Ans (d)
Sol. A dislocation is a linear crystallographic defect or irregularity within a crystal structure which contains an abrupt change in the arrangement of atoms.
S6. Ans (b)
Sol. In DC reverse polarity, electrons are transferred from plate to the electrode, so more heat (2/3 of total heat) generation takes place at electrode.
S7. Ans (c)
Sol. From same cross section area circular section beam has more section modulus than that of square section.
S8. Ans (d)
Sol. Helix angle should be smaller than friction angle to provide self-locking in screw jack.
S9. Ans(a)
Sol. Copper having the highest thermal conductivity along all the given options. So, it will give highest temp drop for same thickness.
S10. Ans(a)
Sol. Pressure is always decreasing in throttling process for positive Joule-Thompson coefficient temperature will drop.
