HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 7

Boiler rating is usually defined in terms of

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 7
Boiler rating is the heating capacity of a steam boiler. It is expressed in BTU per hour (BTU/h), horsepower (hp), or steam output in kg/hr at 100°C’ and atmospheric pressure. Each kilogram of steam receives 2257 kJ of heat from the boiler.

The rating indicates the maximum capacity of a boiler. When a boiler operates at its maximum rated capacity, it is referred to as the maximum load. If the load varies from hour to hour, it operates at a varying load. Load and load variations can influence the amount of chemicals required for treatment and the treatment controls required.

As both are in parallel, therefore keq = k + k = 2k

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 9

Which of the following related fluid flow parameters exist both in rotational and irrotational flows?

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 9
Velocity potential function

(i) If velocity potential (ϕ) exists, the flow should be irrotational.

(ii) If velocity potential (ϕ) satisfies the Laplace equation, it represents the possible steady incompressible irrotational flow.

Stream function:

(i) If stream function (ψ) exists, the flow may be rotational or irrotational.

(ii) If stream function (ψ) satisfies the Laplace equation, it represents the irrotational flow.

Vorticity:

Defined as the value twice of the rotation

ζ=2ω

For an irrotational flow, vorticity components are zero

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 10

The Bernoulli’s constant for points lying on the same streamline and those which lie on other streamlines will have the same value if the flow is

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 10
Bernoulli’s equation states that the,

P + 1/2ρV2 + ρgh = c

P is the pressure, r is the density, v is the velocity, h is the elevation difference.

The value of C in the above equation is constant only along a streamline and should essentially vary from streamline to streamline.

The equation can be used to define the relation between flow variables at point B on the streamline and at point A, along the same streamline. So, to apply this equation, one should have knowledge of the velocity field beforehand. This is one of the limitations of the application of Bernoulli's equation.

Therefore, the total mechanical energy remains constant everywhere in inviscid and irrotational flow, while it is constant only along a streamline for inviscid but rotational flow.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 11

The theoretically correct mixture ratio of air and petrol is

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 11
The stoichiometric (theoretical) mixture for a petrol engine is the ideal ratio of air to fuel that burns all fuel with no excess air. For petrol, the stoichiometric air-fuel mixture is about 14.7: 1, i.e., for every one gram of fuel, 14.7 grams of air is required.

Any mixture greater than 14.7: 1 is considered a lean mixture, and less than 14.7: 1 is a rich mixture.

So the correct mixture ratio according to the given options will be 15: 1.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 12

Mercury is considered as a superior barometric fluid chiefly due to its

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 12
A barometer is used to determine the local atmospheric pressure. Mercury is employed in the barometer because its density is sufficiently high for a relatively short column to be obtained. And also because it has a very small vapour pressure at normal temperature. High density scales down the pressure head(h) to represent the same magnitude of pressure in a tube of smaller height.

Mercury has a very low vapour pressure when compared to that of water. So, it is more sensitive than water to the changes in the atmospheric pressure and rises more quickly to record the changes in the atmospheric pressure.

The depth of a fluid is measured in vertical Z – direction; X and Y are the other two directions and are mutually perpendicular. The static pressure variation in the fluid is given by

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 19
The pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is obtained by the Hydrostatic Law, which states that the rate of increase of pressure in a vertically downward direction must be equal to the specific weight of the fluid at that point.

p = ρgh

Pressure distribution profile

dp/dz = -ω = -pg

dp = -ω.dz

It indicates that a negative pressure gradient exists upward along any vertical.

Thus, the pressure decreases in the upward direction and increases in the downward direction with a magnitude equal to a specific weight.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 24

The conditions for the stable equilibrium of a floating body are:

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 24
Condition of stable equilibrium for a floating body in terms of metacentric height (GM) as follows:
  • Stable equilibrium : GM > 0 (M is above G)
  • Neutral equilibrium : GM = 0 (M coinciding with G)
  • Unstable equilibrium : GM < 0="" (m="" is="" below="" g)="" />

(a) Equilibrium Position (b)Tilted Position

Condition of stable equilibrium for a floating body in terms of centre of buoyancy and the centre of gravity:

  • Stable equilibrium: If its centre of gravity is directly below the centre of buoyancy
  • Neutral equilibrium: If its centre of gravity is coincident with the centre of buoyancy
  • Unstable equilibrium: If its centre of gravity is directly above the centre of buoyancy

A submerged body is in equilibrium when the centre of gravity is located below the centre of buoyancy. If the body is tilted slightly in any direction, the buoyant force and the weight always produce a restoring couple trying to return the body to its original position.

______ is the total area under the stress-strain curve in a tension test.

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 4 - Question 28
Modulus of elasticity is defined as the slope of its stress-strain curve in the elastic deformation region.

Strain Energy of the member is defined as the internal work done in deforming the body by the action of externally applied forces.

Resilience is defined as the capacity of a strained body for doing work on the removal of the straining force.

Proof resilience is defined as the maximum strain energy stored in a body. So, it is the quantity of strain energy stored in a body when strained up to the elastic limit (ability to store or absorb energy without permanent deformation).

Modulus of resilience is defined as proof resilience per unit volume. It is the area under the stress-strain curve up to the elastic limit.

The modulus of toughness is the ability to absorb energy up to fracture. From the stress-strain diagram, the area under the complete curve gives the measure of modulus of toughness.
