Solutions
S1. Ans (c)
Sol. A Reversible Adiabatic Process is also known as Isotropic Process. It is an idealized thermodynamic process which is adiabatic and in which the work transfers of the system are friction-less; there is no transfer of heat or of matter and the process is reversible.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Some fiber is subjected to tensile and compressive bending tress.
S4. Ans (a)
Sol. Photo-chemical smog is produced when pollutants from the combustion of fossil fuels react with sunlight. The energy in the sunlight converts the pollutants into other toxic chemicals. In order for photo-chemical smog to form, there must be other pollutants in the air, specifically nitrous oxides and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
S5. Ans (b)
Sol. Due to density of sea water is more than that of river water, hence more volume of boat has to be sunk in the river water than that in sea water.so floor level will fall of boat in river water.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Surge tank is an open reservoir provided in between pen-stock to
(i) absorb the pressure wave due to sudden blockage of flow in the turbine which will reduce water pressured hammer problem
(ii) to serve for emergency supply and to maintain constant head at inlet of turbine
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. As long column fails in buckling only, Euler formula also derived at the same assumption.
S8. (b)
Sol. For high velocity reduction ratio (more than 50), we use worm and worm wheel gear drive.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol.
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Economizer is situated before air pre-heater in the flue gas path.
