Carbonation of coal is the process of________________________?
  • (A)  pulverising coal in inert atmosphere
  • (B)  heating wood in a limited supply of air at temperatures below 300°C
  • (C)  strongly heating coal continuously for about 48 hours in the absence of air in a closed vessel
  • (D)  binding the pulverised coal into brick-ettes
  • (E)  enriching carbon in the coal
Pick up false statement?
  • (A)  For petrol and large gas engines, quantity governingds preferred
  • (B)  In quantity governing, air fuel ratio is almost constant and quantity of charge is changed depending on load
  • (C)  In hit and miss governing, fuel supply is completely cut off during one or more number of cycles
  • (D)  In quality governing, quantity of fuel is varied to suit the load and total charge of air is varied
  • (E)  For close regulation of speed, combination of both quality and quantity governing is used
Pick up the wrong statement?
  • (A)  aluminium in steel results in excessive grain growth
  • (B)  manganese in steel induces hardness
  • (C)  nickel and chromium in steel help in raising the elastic limit and improve the resilience and ductility
  • (D)  tungsten in steels improves magnetic properties and hardenability
  • (E)  sulphur, phosphorous and lead im¬prove machining properties of steel
Choose the wrong statement?
  • (A)  The horizontal component of the hydro-static force on any surface is equal to the normal force on the vertical projection of the surface
  • (B)  The horizontal component acts through the center of pressure for the vertical projection
  • (C)  The vertical component of the hydrostatic force on any surface is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid above the area
  • (D)  he vertical component passes through the center of pressure of the volume
  • (E)  Center of pressure acts at a greater depth than center of gravity
Choose the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  any weight, floating or immersed in a liquid, is acted upon by a buoyant force
  • (B)  Buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced
  • (C)  The point through which buoyant force acts, is called the center of buoyancy
  • (D)  Center of buoyancy is located above the center of gravity of the displaced liquid v
  • (E)  Relative density of liquids can be determined by means of the depth of flotation of hydrometer
Choose the wrong statement ?
  • (A)  The center of buoyancy is located at the center of gravity of the displaced liquid
  • (B)  For stability of a submerged body, the center of gravity of body must lie directly below the center of buoyancy
  • (C)  If e.g. and center of buoyancy coincide, the submerged body must lie at neutral equilibrium for all positions
  • (D)  For stability of floating cylinders or spheres, the e.g. of body must lie below the center of buoyancy
  • (E)  All floating bodies are stable
Choose the wrong statement?
  • (A)  Viscosity of a fluid is that property which determines the amount of its resistance to a shearing force
  • (B)  Viscosity is due primarily to interaction between fluid molecules
  • (C)  Viscosity of liquids decreases with in-crease in temperature
  • (D)  Viscosity of liquids is appreciably affected by change in pressure
  • (E)  Viscosity is expressed as poise, stoke, or saybolt seconds
