Solutions
S1. Ans(d)
Sol. Lower critical temperature of steel is 723 deg C and higher critical temperature of steel is 925 deg C.
S2. Ans(b)
Sol. Reynolds’s Number(Re) = (Inertia Force)/(Viscous Force)=(ρVd)/μ
Here,
ρ=Density of fluid
V=Average velocity of fluid
d=Diameter of conduit
μ=Dynamic viscosity of fluid
S3. Ans(b)
Sol. Efficiency of Carnot cycle (η)=1-(T2/T1)
S4. Ans(c)
Sol.
1. If Mach Number (Ma<1) then flow is subsonic.
2. If Mach Number (Ma=1) then flow is sonic.
3. If Mach Number (Ma>1) then flow is supersonic.
4. If Mach Number (Ma>3) then flow is hyper-sonic.
S5. Ans(d)
Sol.
Moment of inertia about the diameter=(πD^4)/64
Moment of inertia about polar axis=(πD^4)/32
S6. Ans(d)
Sol. Glass is non-conductive material, so it cannot be machined by EDM process.
S7. Ans(d)
Sol. The locus of a point on a string unwound from a circular disc is an involute.
S8. Ans(d)
Sol. Heat absorbed by ice at -10 deg C to convert into water 20 deg C = heat taken by ice from-10 deg C to 0 deg C + heat taken for phase change of ice into water at 0 deg C + heat taken by water from 0 deg C to 20 deg C
=0.5×2.2×(0-(-10)+0.5×300+0.5×4.2×(20-0)
=203 kJ
S9. Ans(b)
Sol.
Average value=(Sum of elements)/(Total number of elements)=(2+3+4+5+6)/5=4
Root mean square value=√((2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+6^2)/5)=4.242
