GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 3 - Question 12

Coriolis component acceleration exists whenever a point moves along a path that has:

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 3 - Question 12
The total acceleration of a point with respect to another point in a rigid link is the vector sum of its normal (radial) and tangential components. This holds true when two bodies are in rolling contact, the point in one body that contacts the other body is instantaneously at rest relative to that body.

It implies velocity relative to that body is zero. If the point is no longer at rest relative to it, but rotates or slides, the total acceleration will contain one additional component called the Coriolis acceleration component.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 3 - Question 16

Consider two metal plates pressed against each other. Other things being equal, which of the measures below will cause the thermal contact resistance to increase?

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 3 - Question 16
When two metal plates are pressed against each other, the peaks form good material contact but the valleys form voids filled with air in most cases. As a result, an interface contains numerous air gaps of varying sizes that act as insulation because of the low thermal conductivity of air. Thus, an interface offers some resistance to heat transfer and this resistance for a unit interface area is called the thermal contact resistance. This resistance is observed to increase with increase in contact area by cleaning the surfaces to make them shinier.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 3 - Question 20

Which of the following statements are correct?

  1. Steel and cast iron are multiphase alloys.

  2. Ferrite is a single phase interstitial solid solution of carbon in iron.

  3. Wrought iron is a highly refined iron with a small amount of slag which gives resistance to progressive corrosion.

  4. Satellite contains large amounts of metals like cobalt and tungsten resulting in high hardness.

Select the correct answer using the codes that follow.

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 3 - Question 20
  • Steel and cast iron may contain ferrite and cementite; hence, they are multiphase alloys.

  • Ferrite is a single phase material which contains carbon at the interstitial site of iron atom, thus forming interstitial solid solution.

  • Wrought iron is a highly refined iron with uniformly distributed quantity of slag. The non-corrosive slag constituents causes wrought iron to be resistance to progressive corrosion.

  • The presence of slag produces a structure which diminishes the effect of fatigue caused by shock and vibration.

Co-based cast alloy is of trade name "Stellite".

It typically has the following composition:

Co: (38 – 52%)

Cr: (30 – 32%)

W: (10 – 12%)

C: (2%)

Its structure is composed of Co-matrix, in which W-Cr carbides are embedded with volume ratio of 25–30%. It has high hardness in the range of 58–64 HRC.

GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 3 - Question 24

The clearance in blanking operation is provided

Detailed Solution for GATE Mock Test Mechanical Engineering (ME) - 3 - Question 24
Blanking is the operation of cutting a flat shape from a sheet metal. In blanking, the slug is the part and rest is scrap. In blanking operation, the die size is taken as the blank size and the punch is made smaller giving the necessary clearance between the die and the punch.

Die size = blank size

Punch size = blank size – 2 x clearance
