Solutions
S1. Ans (c)
Sol.The view factor is the fraction of radiative energy that diffused from one surface element and strikes the other surface directly.
S2. Ans (b)
Sol.Air preheater is invariably located between forced draft fan and furnace to preheat the combustion air.
S3. Ans (c)
Sol.
S4. Ans (b)
Sol.The canter of pressure is the point on a body where the total sum of a pressure field acts, causing a force and no moment about that point.
S5. Ans (d)
Sol.Brine is used as secondary refrigerant in milk chilling plant.
S6. Ans (c)
Sol.Process execution through a finite gradient of time is irreversible.
Here, time gradient is so large that temperature remains constant and hence the process becomes isothermal.
S7. Ans (c)
Sol.
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Techniques to avoid interference –
(1) Stubbing of teeth i.e. height of teeth is reduced.
(2) Undercutting of teeth at base
(3) Increasing the center distance of gears or using large pressure angle
(4) Increasing the no. of teeth on gear can avoid interference.
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. The rise of temperature of work piece and tool give rise to
(i) Early wear of tool
(ii) Dimensional in-accuracy of machined surface
(iii) Damage of surface properties of machined component.
So, statement 2 is wrong
