Top surface of a raised platform is in the shape of regular octagon as shown in the figure. Find the area of the octagonal surface.

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 4

Visually, the area of the octagonal surface will be the sum of the area of two trapezia and the area of rectangular region.

Area of octagon ABCDEFGH = Area of Trapezium ABCH + Area of rectangle HCDG + Area of trapezium EFGD

Side of the regular octagon = 5 cm

Area of trapezium ABCH = Area of trapezium EFGD

Area of trapezium ABCH = 1/2 × (AB + CH) × AI

= 1/2 × (5 m + 11 m) × 4 m

= 1/2 × 16 m × 4 m

= 32 m2

Area of trapezium ABCH = Area of trapezium EFGD = 32 m2

Area of rectangle HCDG = HC × CD = 11 m × 5 m = 55 m2

Area of ABCDEFGH = Area of trapezium ABCH + Area of rectangle HCDG + Area of trapezium EFGD

= 32 m2+ 55 m2+ 32 m2

= 119 m2

Thus the area of the octagonal surface is 119 m2

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 16

Which one of the following statements is correct?

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 16

First Law of Thermodynamics:

  • Energy can neither be destroyed nor created when it disappears in one form; it must re-appear at the same time in other forms.

  • When a closed system executes a complete cycle, the sum of heat interactions is equal to the sum of work interactions.

Second Law of Thermodynamics:

It has two statements:

  • Kelvin-Planck Statement: It is impossible to devise a cyclically operating device, the sole effect of which is to absorb energy in the form of heat from a single thermal reservoir and to deliver an equivalent amount of work

  • Clausius Statement: It is impossible to devise a cyclically operating device, the sole effect of which is to transfer energy in the form of heat from a low-temperature body to a high-temperature body

Violation of the Kelvin statement implies a violation of the Clausius statement, i.e., the Clausius statement implies the Kelvin statement.

Similarly, the Kelvin statement implies the Clausius statement, and hence the two are equivalent.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 17

An involute profile is used in

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 17
The tooth profiles of a pair of mating gears must be made of curves that satisfy the conditions of conjugate action and the law of gearing. Gears are generally made with two curves, either involute or cycloidal tooth profiles.

A cycloid is a curve traced by a point on the circumference of a circle that rolls without slipping on a fixed straight line.

An involute of a circle is a plane curve generated by a point on a tangent, which rolls on the circle without slipping, or by an end on a taut string that is unwrapped from a reel.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 18

Strain energy stored in a body of volume V subjected to uniform stress σ is:

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 18
When a body is loaded within the elastic limit, it changes its dimensions, and on the removal of the load, it regains its original dimensions. So long as it remains loaded, it has stored energy in itself. On removing the load, the energy stored is given off as in the case of a spring. This energy, which is absorbed in a body when strained within the elastic limit, is known as strain energy.

The strain energy stored in a body due to external loading within the elastic limit is known as resilience. The maximum energy that can be stored in a body up to the elastic limit is called proof resilience.

The proof of resilience per unit volume of a material is known as the modulus of resilience.

Strain energy stored in a body due to tensile or compressive load or resilience:

U = σ2V/2E

Modulus of resilience:

U = σ2/2E

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 24

Hardness of steel depends upon the amount of

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 24
The maximum hardness of a steel is a function of its Carbon content. It increases as the percentage of carbon increases.

Cementite: Cementite or Iron Carbide has the chemical formula Fe3C and contains 6.67% carbon by weight. It is the hardest structure that appears in the iron-carbon equilibrium diagram. Cementite has an orthorhombic crystal structure and is extremely hard and brittle as compared to austenite and ferrite.

Martensite: It is a metastable phase of steel formed by the transformation of austenite below 320°C. Martensite is an interstitial supersaturated solid carbon solution in α – Iron and has a body-centred tetragonal lattice. It has a carbon content of up to 2% and is extremely hard and brittle. It is a product of rapid cooling (quenching) and possesses an acicular or needle-like structure.

The hardness of steel depends upon the amount of cementite. Martensite was obtained after hardening treatment of steel.

Steels with low carbon content do not respond appreciably to hardening treatment because the main constituent is soft ferrite. If hypo-eutectoid steel is cooled rapidly, martensite is formed.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 25

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 26

The volume of air delivered by the compressor is called:

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 10 - Question 26

Concept:

Compressor capacity: It is the quantity of air delivered by a compressor in m3/minute or m3/sec

Compression ratio: It is defined as the ratio of the volume of air before compression to the volume of air after compression. It is the ratio of total volume (V1) to the clearance volume (VC)

In other words, the compression ratio is the volume of air before compression to the volume of air after compression.

Free air delivery (FAD): The delivery volume reduced in the compressor to a pressure of 1 bar and temperature of 15C. The relative volume at that condition is known as Free Air Delivery.

Swept volume (Vs): The volume displaced or swept by the piston when it moves between the top dead center and bottom dead center.

Clearance volume: The difference between the total volume and the swept volume is the gap that remains between the piston head and the cylinder head when at the top dead center.
