Solutions
S1. Ans (b)
Sol. Relation between E, K and G is
E=9KG/(3K+G)
S2. Ans (d)
Sol. The purpose of the open-circuit test is to determine the no-load current and losses of the transformer because of which their no-load parameters are determined. The core loss of the transformer can be determined by this test.
S3. Ans (b)
Sol. B-splines are a more general type of curve than Bezier curves. In a B-spline each control point is associated with a basis function. If the order of B-spline is n then we require (n+1) control points to generate B-spline. So, for quadratic B-spline, we need 3 control points.
S4. Ans (d)
Sol. As slip occurs in other given options, so these all are negative drive except timing belt.
S5. Ans (a)
Sol. De-aerator is fixed with the feed water tank of the boiler in power plants. It is used to remove dissolved gases from the water, which otherwise, causes reduction in heat transfer in the boiler and oxidation in the tubes of the boiler.
S6. Ans (c)
Sol. Temperature and pressure both remain constant in all the phase changing processes. Such as condensation, boiling, freezing etc. In the condensation process, heat of vaporization is released and vapor is converted into liquid.
S7. Ans (d)
Sol. Bell-Coleman cycle is an air refrigeration cycle. It uses air as refrigerant and this cycle is majorly used in aircrafts due to low weight per ton of refrigeration.
S8. Ans (b)
Sol. API stands for American Petroleum institute. API gravity is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is as compared to water. High API gravity of fuel represents lower brake specific fuel consumption.
S9. Ans (c)
Sol. There are following properties of a good refrigerant:
1.Low boiling point.
2.Low freezing point
3.High latent heat of vaporization
4.Low viscosity
5.Low specific volume
6.High critical temperature
S10. Ans (c)
Sol. Lumped heat capacity approach of transient heat conduction analysis is used when conductive resistance of the body is negligible and hence, the variation in temperature throughout the body is also negligible.
