Solutions
S1. Ans (b)
Sol. In a reaction stage turbine, the velocity increases in stator as it works as a nozzle and decreases in rotor.
S2. Ans (d)
Sol. With Reheat application in Rankine cycle,
1.Work output increases
2.Dryness fraction or quality of steam improves
3.Specific steam consumption i.e. Steam consumption per KWh decreases due to increases in work output
S3. Ans (d)
Sol. Knocking sensitivity in S.I. engine can be reduced by:
1.Compact construction of combustion chamber to reduce flame travel distance
2.Locating the spark plug centrally or near exhaust valve
3.Increasing turbulence
S4. Ans (d)
Sol. An aromatic hydrocarbon or arene (or sometimes aryl hydrocarbon) is a hydrocarbon with sigma bonds and delocalized pi electrons between carbon atoms forming a circle.
Dispersion analyser, Non-dispersive infrared analyser and flame-ionization detector all are used for measure aromatic hydrocarbon in exhaust gases.
S5. Ans (b)
Sol. Heat pump is a cyclic device, in which high temperature reservoir is a conditioned space maintained above the temperature of surrounding. Work done is negative for the heat pump.
S6. Ans (c)
Sol. Adiabatic saturation process is that process in which water converts into vapour and mixed with air till its saturation, adiabatically.
Wet bulb temperature remains constant during this process.
S7. Ans (b)
Sol. According to Archimedes principle,
Weight of displaced water = weight of stone in air-weight of stone in water
=405-206=199 N
S8. Ans (d)
Sol. When there is generation of thermal strain (tensile or compressive) in a body due to change in temperature and it is made restricted for this, then stresses (tensile or compressive depending upon the temperature decrease or increase) will be generated in it.
S9. Ans (d)
Sol. A power transmission can be done by using counter shaft, line shaft and overhead shaft etc.
S10. Ans (a)
Sol. The unbalanced force due to reciprocating masses has same direction irrespective of the magnitude but magnitude may change.
