(c) An aeroplane flying at 300 km/h turns towards the left and completes a quarter circle of 80

Sensitiveness:
A governor is said to be sensitive when it readily responds to a small change of speed. The
movement of the sleeve for a fractional change of speed is the measure of sensitivity.

N N 2 N 1
Where N2 – N1 = Speed range from no load to full load.
When N = mean speed
N1 = minimum speed corresponding to full load conditions
N2 = maximum speed corresponding to no-load conditions
Stability:
A governor is said to be stable if it brings the speed of the engine to the required value and there is
not much hunting. The ball masses occupy a definite position for each speed of the engine within
the working range. Obviously, the stability and the sensitivity are two opposite characteristics.
Isochronisms:
A governor with a range of speed zero is known as an isochronous governor. This mean that for all
positions of the sleeve or the balls, the governor has the same equilibrium speed. However, it is not
practical due to the friction at the sleeve
Hunting:
A governor is said to be hunt if the speed of the engine fluctuates continuously above and below
the mean speed. This is caused by too sensitive governor which changes the fuel supply by a large
amount when a small change in speed of rotation takes place.

(i) Derive the expression for minimum number of teeth on a pinion for involute rack in order
to avoid interference.
sol: Rack is a segment of gear having infinite pitch circle diameter, We know that as the size of pitch
circle of thereby that of base circle increases, the involute curve becomes more and more flat.
Therefore, the teeth profile of a rack becomes straight line. In a rack pinion arrangement, to
avoid interference, the point of contact E must lie between the points P and C. In other words,
the limiting value of addendum should be such that the point E coincides with point C. Thus
addendum of rack must be less than distance CG, as shown in figure.

(a) Explain briefly: Nitriding, Cyaniding, Flame Hardening and Induction Hardening.
(12 M)
Sol:
(i) Nitriding:
Nitriding is the process of enriching the surface of steel with nitrogen by holding for a prolonged
period at temperature of ammonia (NH3).
In this process the machined and heat treated (hardening by heating to 930C and quenching in oil,
then tempering at 6500 to obtain the required properties in core) components are heated to a
temperature of 5000C for between 40 to 100 hours (depending on case depth) in a gas tight
chamber through which ammonia is allowed to circulate.
By incorporating Nitrogen atom on the outer envelope of L.C.S component it will be termed as
hard by forming iron Nitride phase.
Case Depth = 0.5 mm /hrs.
Ammonia dissociates according to the following reaction.
2 NH3 3H2 + 2N
The atomic nitrogen thus formed diffuses into iron forms hard nitrides by combining with iron and
certain alloying elements present in steel. The alloying elements having more affinity for nitrogen
are aluminum, chromium and molybdenum.

The disadvantage of this process is that the temperature cannot be controlled accurately and over-
heating may cause distortion and cracking of the component.
Inductor

Magnetic
Field
The disadvantage of flame hardening i.e., over-heating may be avoided by inducing heat
electrically in the surface of steel.
In Induction hardening the heating time is only a few seconds.
Heat generated in the work piece by induction is mostly confined to outer surface which is to be
hardened.
The depth to which heat penetrates is inversely proportional to the square root of frequency of the
current. Hence the hardened depth decreases with increase in frequency of the current.
Similar to flame hardening, the induction hardened work piece is also subjected to low temperature
tempering to relieve stresses.

(i) List out any six inherent characteristics of a hydraulic actuator. (12 M)
(ii) Explain the working of a gear pump with the help of a schematic diagram. Also detail its
other properties.
Sol: Commonly used hydraulic pumps are the gear pump, the vane pump and the piston pump. The
gear pump consists of two close-meshing gear wheels which rotate in opposite directions as
shown in the figure below.
Fluid is forced through the pump as it becomes trapped between the rotating gear teeth and the
housing and so is transferred from the inlet port to be discharged at the outlet port. Such pumps are
widely used, being low cost and robust. They generally operate at pressures below about 15 MPa
and at 2400 rotations per minute. The maximum flow capacity is about 0.5m3/min. However,
leakage occurs between the teeth and the casing and between the interlocking teeth, and this limits
the efficiency.

Sol: Uniform Corrosion: Uniform and general corrosion, in which the entire metal surface area is
exposed to the corrosive environment and converted into its oxide form. It is the uniform thinning
of a metal without any localized attack and corrosion does not penetrate very deep inside that
means the corrosion is passive. The most familiar example is the rusting of steel in air and it is not
recognized as dangerous form of corrosion, because:
Prediction of thickness reduction rate can by means of simple tests. corresponding corrosion
allowance can be added taking into account strength requiring and life
Available protection methods are usually so efficient that the corrosion rate is reduced to an
acceptable level. Actual methods are application of coatings, cathodic protection or possibly
change of environment or material.
Mechanism of uniform corrosion: A very thin layer of electrolyte is present and putting a small
drop of seawater on a piece of steel. A metal surface exposed to atmosphere, only a limited
quantity of water and dissolved ions are present, whereas the access to oxygen present in the air
is unlimited. Corrosion products are formed close to the metal surface, unlike the case in aqueous
corrosion, and they may prevent further corrosion by acting as a physical barrier between the
metal surface and environment, particularly if they are insoluble as in the case of copper or lead.
The following is a simplified mechanism of aqueous corrosion of iron

Pitting Corrosion: Pitting corrosion is a localized form of corrosion by which cavities or "holes"
are produced in the material. Pitting is considered to be more dangerous than uniform
corrosion damage because it is more difficult to detect, predict and design
against. Corrosion products often cover the pits.
A small, narrow pit with minimal overall metal loss can lead to the failure of an entire
engineering system and is a common denominator of all types of localized corrosion
attack. Pitting corrosion can produce pits with their mouth open (uncovered) or covered with a
semi-permeable membrane of corrosion products. Pits can be either hemispherical or cup-shaped.

(i) Describe the stress – strain behaviour and glass transition temperature for polymers.
(10 M)
Sol: Stress strain behavior and glass transition temperature of polymers:
The Stress/Strain behavior of solid polymers can be categorized into several classes of behavior:
Brittle Fracture: characterized by no yield point, a region of Hookean behavior at low
strains and failure characterized by chonchoidal lines such as seen in inorganic glasses.
Yield Behavior: characterized by a maximum in the stress/strain curve followed by yielding
deformation which is usually associated with crazing or shear banding and usually ductile
failure. Ductile failure exhibits a high extent of deformation on the failure surface. Yield
behavior can result in necking which exhibits a close to constant load regime and a terminal
increase in the stress.
Rubber-Like Behavior: characterized by the absence of a yield point maximum but
exhibiting a plateau in an engineering stress/strain curve. Often rubber-like behavior exhibits
a terminal increase in the stress followed by failure which results in a tear with little
permanent deformation exhibited in the failure surface, e.g. Jell-O.

Sol: Hardenability:
Hardenability is defined as the ability of steel to develop its maximum hardness when subjected to
the hardening (heat treatment) process. Good hardenability is indicated by a greater depth of
hardening below the surface.
Hardening is applicable to steels with carbon % 0 to 2.11% (LCS, MCS & HCS).
Hardening is applied to cutting tools and machine parts where high hardness and wear resistance is
desirable.

Due to hardening process, When the component is subjected to hardening process in a quenched
medium, the outer surface of the component experiences cooling effect immediately compare to
core of the component outer surface produces small grains (martensite) and where as core
remains with large grains (Fe-Austenite Phase) outer surface is hard & core remains in soft
condition.
The depth up to which it is converted into hard is known as depth of hardness (Dh).
The depth up to which from the surface of the component has been hardened is known as depth of
hardenability (Dh).
During hardening process if a steel produces more Dh value means more volume is converted into
martensite easily hardenable.

(ii) Give a schematic diagram of a piezoelectric accelerometer for shock and vibration
measurement and briefly explain how it works. (10 M)
Sol: Piezoelectric accelerometer: The heart of a piezoelectric accelerometer is the slice of piezoelectric
material, usually an artificially polarized ferroelectric ceramic, which exhibits the unique piezoelectric
effect. When it is mechanically stressed, either in tension, compression or shear, it generates an
electrical charge across its pole faces which are proportional to the applied force. All piezo-
electric accelerometers work by measuring the charge generated by a crystal that is being compressed or
shear loaded by a mass influenced by acceleration. In most applications this high impedance charge
output is converted to a low impedance voltage output by the use of integral electronics.
The Shear Type where the mass exerts a shear force on the piezoelectric element.
Most widely used vibration transducer is the piezoelectric accelerometer.
It has very wide frequency and dynamic ranges with good linearity throughout the ranges.
It is relatively robust and reliable for long period of time.
Sol: ROM (Read only memory) is a memory device used for store element programs/data. It is not
lost when power is removed.
PROM (Programmable ROM) is a type of ROM chip programmed by used for one time only.
EPROM (Erasable and Programmable ROM) is type of ROM chip programmed by user and
contents can be erased for repeated programming.
EEPROM (Electrically erasable PROM) is similar to EPROM, but erasing is done by
electrically by applying high voltage and programmed repeatedly.
RAM Random Access memory is used to store temporary data/programs during execution. It is
lost with power.

(i) How is the heat for electron beam welding obtained? With the help of a diagram, discuss the
working of this method of welding. (10 M)
If the speed is too fast, however, joint penetration may be less than 100%, and porosity may occur
near the weld depth termination. If the travel speed is too slow, the molten metal around the
keyhole fails to coalesce, and no joining takes place. It is also important to note that when welding
thick sections of some alloys, magnetic fields cause the beam to curve away from the joint. In this
case, the weld will not fully penetrate, and the lower portion of the joint will not be welded.
Electron beam welding has its limitations, however. First, the capital costs associated with this
process are substantially higher than those incurred with arc welding equipment, though unit cost is
competitive when production volume is high. When performing electron beam welding in a
moderate vacuum or no vacuum, atmospheric molecules quickly dissipate the beam energy. This
phenomenon may make electron beam welding less desirable than other processes with
considerably smaller capital investments.
In addition, in the high vacuum and medium vacuum variations, a significant amount of pump-
down time is incurred while placing the parts in a vacuum chamber, though welding in a medium
vacuum involves less pump-down time than the high vacuum process. As they require a vacuum
chamber, the high and medium vacuum processes are limited with respect to the size of parts that
can be welded. Production speed can be augmented by increasing the size of the vacuum chambers
to permit them to accommodate more workpieces. Another option to increase productivity is the
use of chambers in a circular, or carousel, arrangement. After the workpiece is loaded into the
carousel, it is sent at timed intervals through the chambers, where the vacuum becomes

(ii) Illustrate and describe through a linking flow diagram, the elements of a CIM system for
integrating CAD/CAM including latest communication technology to all the operational
functions and information processing in manufacturing. (10 M)
Customer orders are initially entered by the company’s sales force or directly by the customer into
a computerized odder entry system. The orders contain the specifications describing the product.
The specifications serve as the input to the product design department. New products are designed
on a CAD system. The components that comprise the product are designed, the bill of materials is
compiled, and assembly drawings are prepared. The output of the design department serves as the
input to manufacturing engineering, where process panning, tool design, and similar activities are
accomplished to prepare for production. Many of these manufacturing engineering activities are
supported by the CIM system. Process planning is performed using CAPP.
Toll and fixture design is done on a CAD system, making use of the product model generated
during product design. The output from manufacturing engineering provides the input to
production planning and control, where material requirements planning and scheduling are
performed using the computer system, and so it goes, through each step in the manufacturing
cycle. Full implementation of CIM results in the automation of the information flow though every
aspect of the company’s organization.

operations of a company through a central data base. In effect, ERP implements computer-
