• There are only pressure forces that act
7. What will be the position of Piston
Ring?
In 180 degree angle the Top ring, Second
ring and Oil ring are fixed. Position the ring
approximately 1 inch gap below the neck.
• What is Heat rate of a Power plant?
Heat rate is a measure of the turbine efficiency.
It is determined from the total energy input
supplied to the Turbine divided by the electrical
energy output.
• The highest value of Thermal
conductivity is expected for
a.) Solid ice b.) Melting ice c.) Water d.)
Boiling water.
Give the Thermal conductivity value.
Solid Ice – 3.48 W/mK
Melting Ice thermal conductivity value is low
because temperature is less.
Water’s Thermal conductivity value is 2.18 W/
mK.
• What is a Hydrostatic system?
Hydrostatics is the study of fluid bodies that are
• At rest
• Moving sufficiently slowly so there is no
relative motion between adjacent parts
of the body
For hydrostatic situations
• There are no shear stresses
perpendicular to any surface.
It’s a closed loop hydraulic systems. It
comprises of motor and pump. Here pump
supplies energy to motor and motor gives
return energy to pump supply.
• If you heat a piece of steel with a hole
in the center will the diameter of the
steel get bigger or smaller?
It gets bigger.
(Example: Always the bearings are heated first
for new installation in a shaft.)
• What is the difference between Blower
and Fan?
Fan is an air pushing device. Either Axial or
Centrifugal type systems are used to move the
air in low pressure. It is rotated by a motor
separately.
When the fan is a housing of blades and motor,
then it called as Blower. It directs the air in a
single path with high pressure.
• How to find a Ductile-Brittle Transition
Temperature in metals?
The point at which the fracture energy passes
below a pre-determined point for a standard
Impact tests. DBTT is important since, once
a material is cooled below the DBTT, it has a
much greater tendency to shatter on impact
instead of bending or deforming.
