Ques.11. In the forging operation, fullering is done to

  1. Draw out of the material
  2. Bend the material
  3. Upset the material
  4. Extrude the material

Answer.1. Draw out of the material

Explanation:-

Forging is the operation where the metal is heated and then a force is applied to manipulate the metal in such a way that the required final shape is obtained. Forging is generally a hot working operation though cold forging is used sometimes.

Fullering is a specialized forth of drawing out. In fullering operation, the material cross-section is decreased and length increased. To do this, the bottom fuller is kept in the anvil hole with the heated stock over the fuller. The top fuller is then kept above the stock and then with the sled hammer, the force is applied on the top fuller. The fullers concentrate the force over a very small area, thus decreasing the cross-section at that point Metal flows outward and away from the center of the fullering die. 

 

Ques.12. Which one of the following is not a fusion welding process?

  1. Gas Welding
  2. Arc Welding
  3. Brazing
  4. Resistance Welding

Answer.3. Brazing

Explanation:-

Fusion welding processes are the welding processes that we use without pressure. Even though the fusion welding processes are different from one another, in all the fusion welding processes, the base metal melts and flows into a weld joint. We normally use a filler metal for fusion welding. Then the filler metal also melts and flows into the weld joint. When the molten metal solidifies, it produces a solid fusion weld.

The three major types of fusion welding processes are as follows

  1. Gas welding:
    1. Oxyacetylene welding OAW
  2. Arc welding:
    1. Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW)
    2. Gas-tungsten arc welding (GTAW)
    3. Plasma arc welding (PAW)
    4. Gas-metal arc welding (GMAW)
    5. Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW)
    6. Submerged arc welding (SAW)
    7. Electroslag welding (ESW)
  3. High-energy beam welding
    1. Electron beam welding (EB W)
    2. Laser beam welding (LBW)

Brazing

Brazing is a joining process. In brazing metal or alloy having a melting point below than the parent, metal is made to flow by capillary action into Space between the parts to be joined under the action of heat.

Brazing may be defined as the technique of joining two similar or dissimilar materials by the addition of special filler metal. If the alloy used has a melting point lower than 450°C, the technique is known as the soldering Brazing gives~ a much stronger joint than soldering. The filler metal used in brazing is known as a spelter. In brazing, metallic parts are joined by a nonferrous metal or alloy. The melting temperature of a spelter should be above 427°C and brazing is carried out above this temperature.

Ques.13. The  true centrifugal casting method is used for casting articles

  1. Symmetrical shape about a vertical axis
  2. Symmetrical shape about the horizontal axis
  3. Irregular shape
  4. Non-ferrous metal only

Answer.2. Symmetrical shape about the horizontal axis

Explanation:-

Centrifugal casting: It is commonly carried out in a permanent mold that is rotated during the solidification of a casing. Impurities are collected in the center of the casing.

True centrifugal casting method is used to produce cast iron and steel pipes. The centrifuge casting method is used for casting articles of symmetrical shape about a horizontal axis. These articles have a fine-grained structure. In true centrifugal casting is the mold is rotated about its own axis without using a central core. If the mold is partially filled, a hole appears along the center of rotation of the casting, the diameter of the hole determined by the amount of metal used. The weight of casting produced to that of metal poured approaches 1:1.

Ques.14. The purpose of jigs and fixtures is to

  1. Increase machining accuracy
  2. Facility interchangeability
  3. Decrease expenditure on quality control
  4. Decrease machining accuracy

Answer.2. Facility interchangeability

Explanation:-

Production devices are generally working holders with/without tool guiding/setting arrangement. These are called jigs and fixtures.

Jigs are provided with tool guiding elements such as drill bushes. These direct the tool to the correct position on the workpiece. Jigs are rarely clamped on the machine table because it is necessary to move the jig on the table to align the various bushes in the jig with the machine spindle.

Fixtures hold the workpiece securely in the correct position with respect to the machine /cutter during operation. There is sometimes a provision in the fixture for setting the tool with respect to the workpiece/fixture, but the tool is not guided as in a jig. Fixtures are often Camped to the machine table.

jigs and

Elements of Jigs and Fixtures

Generally, all the jigs and fixtures consist of:

  1. Locating Elements:- These positions Me workpiece accurately wig respect to We tool guiding or setting elements in the fixture.
  2. Clamping Elements:- These hold the workpiece securely in the located position during operation
  3. Tool Guiding and Setting Elements:- These aid in guiding or setting of the tools incorrect position wig respect to the workpiece. Drill bushes guide the drills accurately to the die workpiece. Milling fixtures use sewing pieces for correct positioning of milling cutters with wide respect to the workpiece.

Advantages of Jigs and Fixtures

  1. Productivity:- Jigs and fixtures eliminate individual marking, positioning, and frequent checking. 1 his reduces operation time and increases productivity.
  2. Interchangeability:- Jigs and fixtures facilitate uniform quality in manufacture. There is no need for selective assembly. Any part of the machine would fit properly in assembly, and all similar components are interchangeable.
  3. Skill Reduction:- Jigs and fixtures simplify locating and clamping of the workpieces. Tool guiding elements ensure the correct positioning of the tools with respect to the workpieces. There is no need for the skillful setting of the workpiece or tool. Any average person can be trained to use jigs and fixtures. The replacement of a skilled workman with unskilled labor can affect a substantial saving in labor costs.
  4. Cost Reduction Higher production, reduction in scrap, easy assembly, and savings in labor costs result in a substantial reduction in the cost of workpieces produced with jigs and fixtures.

 

Ques.15. Directional relays are based on the flow of

  1. Power
  2. Voltage Wave
  3. Current
  4. Field

Answer.1. Power

Explanation:-

Directional Relay

Wherever power flows in both directions, for example, in the present-day grid system having sources normally at both ends of the transmission line, directional relays are needed. The directional relay is connected in series with the Overcurrent relay so that the trip command is only given if there is a fault and also flow of power due to the fault in the forward direction, i.e. away from the bus.  The directional relay is supplied with the current as well as the voltage. 

directional relay

The directional feature can be achieved by comparing the direction of current flow in the line with reference to the bus voltage. In other words, the directional relay measures the phase angle between voltage and current vectors. This is why the directional relay is a two-quantity relay and a phase comparator relay, i.e., voltage and current both are fed to this relay. 

Therefore, the test set for the directional relay has current and voltage outputs with a facility to adjust and measure: –

  1. The magnitude of the voltage and current i.e Power
  2. The phase angle between the current and voltage

 The relay should operate only for the direction in which it has been set to operate and over a certain phase angle zone or range which is measured (within 0 to 360°). If the phase angle is out of this zone then the relay should not operate. Directional relays can respond to positive sequence, negative sequence, or zero sequence inputs. This should be a consideration when applying directional relays at locations where zero-sequence voltage is minimal.

 

Ques.16. In the fuel cell ________ energy is converted into electrical energy.

  1. Mechanical
  2. Heat
  3. Sound
  4. Chemical

Answer.4. Chemical

Explanation:-

Chemical energy is a form of potential energy. It is related to the structural arrangement of atoms or molecules, which is a result of the chemical bonds. The chemical energy of a substance can be converted into other forms of energy through chemical reactions. For example, the chemical energy of a fuel is converted to heat energy when it is burned. Similarly, the digestion of food metabolized in an organism involves the conversion of chemical energy into heat energy. Conversely, other forms of energy can be converted into chemical energy. For example, green plants convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, and electrical energy is converted into chemical energy through electrochemical reactions.

The fuel cell was invented by William R Grove in 1839. It was then called a gaseous voltaic battery.  A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy (of a fuel) directly into electrical energy. Since the chemical energy of the fuel is directly converted to electricity, a fuel cell can operate at much higher efficiencies than internal combustion engines, extracting more electricity from the same amount of fuel. Fuel cells are capable of converting 40% of the available fuel to electricity. Ibis can be raised to 80% with heat recovery. The fuel cell itself has no moving parts, offering a quiet and reliable source of power.

Electrochemical energy conversion is galvanic when electrical energy is generated by the cell reaction, while the reverse process of using electrical energy to produce chemical energy is electrolytic. Fuel cells are considered galvanic electrochemical cells which convert the chemical energy of a continuously supplied fuel and oxidant combination directly into electrical energy

 

Ques.17. Francis turbine is usually used for

  1. Medium heads
  2. Lower heads
  3. Higher Heads
  4. Lower medium and higher heads

Answer.1. Medium heads

Explanation:-

Turbines are classified as given below:

  1. Based on the action of water flowing through the turbine runner
    1. Impulse (Pelton wheel turbine)
    2. Reaction turbines (Francis and Kaplan turbines).
  2. Based on the main direction of the flow of water in the runner
    1. Tangential flow (Pelton wheel turbine),
    2. Radial flow, axial flow (Kaplan turbine)
    3. Mixed flow turbine (Modern Francis turbine).
  3. Based on the head and quantity of water
    1. High head and low discharge > 600 foot (Pelton wheel turbine)
    2. Medium head and discharge 60 to 500 foot (Modern Francis turbine)
    3. Low head and high discharge turbines (Kaplan turbine).
  4. Based on the specific speed
    1. Low (Pelton wheel turbine)
    2. Medium (Francis turbine)
    3. High specific speed turbines (Kaplan turbine).
  5. Based on the axis of disposition
    1. Horizontal axis
    2. Vertical axis turbine.

The inward flow reaction turbine having radial discharge at the outlet is known as Francis turbine, after the name of J.B. Francis an American engineer who at the beginning designed inward radial flow reaction turbine. The flow of water in the turbine may be radially from outward to inward or from inward to outward. but in both cases, the flow passing through the runner has the velocity component in a plane normal to the axis of the runner.

francis turbine

In modern Francis, turbine water enters the runner of the turbine in the radial direction at outlet and leaves in the axial direction at the inlet of the runner. Thus the modern Francis turbine is a mixed now type of turbine in which water enters radially at its outer periphery but leaves axially at its center.

Working of Francis Turbine

Since the modern Francis turbine is a mixed flow type, the water enters radially at the outer periphery of the runner and levee axially. These turbines operate under medium heads and require a medium quantity of water. The water first passes through guide vanes, which in turn direct the water at the proper angle so that the water enters the runner vanes without shock and glides properly. As the water passes through the runner and proceeds towards an outlet. Some part of the head acting on the turbine is transformed into a kinetic head and the rest remains pressure head. There is a difference of pressure between guide vanes and the runner is called reaction pressure. The reaction pressure is responsible for the motion of the runner. Since the pressure al inlet of the turbine is much more than the pressure at the outlet, the water in the turbine must flow in a closed conduit and the runner should always be full of water. After passing through the runner the seater is discharged to tailrace through a draft tube of suitable shape and size.

 

Ques.18. The angle between rotating stator flux and rotor poles is called

  1. Torque angle
  2. Obtuse angle
  3. Synchronizing angle
  4. Power factor angle

Answer.1. Torque angle

Explanation:-

Effect of load on Synchronous motor

When the mechanical load on a D.C. motor or an A.C. motor is increased, the speed decreases This, is turn, decreases the back or counter e.m.f. (Eb) so that the source is able to supply more current to meet the increased load demands. However, this action cannot take place in the synchronous because the rotor must run at the synchronous speed at all loads.

Fig. (a) shows the relative position of a stator and rotor pole at no load, poles centers are directly inline with each other. Fig. (b ) represents the relative position of the stator and the rotor poles after a mechanical load has been added to the motor. Now there has been a shift of the rotor pole in a direction opposite to that of the stator field flux and the direction of the rotor. It may be kept in mind that there has been no change in speed as the rotor will continue to rotate at synchronous speed. There is only an angular displacement between the centers of the stator and rotor field poles. The angular displacement shown is called the Torque angle.

Ques.19. Which of the following motors is used in tape recorders?

  1. Reluctance motor
  2. Capacitor motor
  3. Universal motor
  4. Hysteresis motor

Answer.4. Hysteresis motor

Explanation:-

The hysteresis motor can be considered as a self-starting synchronous motor. From the time of starting until it reaches synchronous speed, the motor produces a synchronizing torque and an ideally flat speed/torque characteristic. Due to the absence of slots and teeth on the rotor, the operation of this motor is smooth and quiet as there is no mechanical vibration.

Hysteresis motor

The motor behavior is similar to that of a conventional synchronous motor but there is no excitation winding on the rotor or permanent magnets, giving the motor a high efficiency and power factor. These characteristics make it ideal for many industrial applications, such as in electronic and medical equipment, tape and video recorder drives, computer drives, clocks, gyroscope rotors for inertial navigation, robotics, and other special applications where precision and reliability are required.

 

Ques.20. Slip rings for induction motors are made up of

  1. Cobalt steel
  2. Aluminum
  3. Carbon
  4. Phosphor bronze

Answer 4. Phosphorus Bronze

Explanation:

  • A slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows the transmission of power and electrical signals from a stationary to a rotating structure.
  • It is used in the case of AC supply, where  AC is required.
  • With a slip ring, the voltage in the external circuit varies like a sine wave, and the current alternates the direction.
  • Phosphor bronze is an alloy of copper, tin, and phosphorus. The tin increases the corrosion resistance and strength of the alloy. The phosphorus increases the wear resistance and stiffness of the alloy.
  • Phosphorous bronze provide good electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity
  • Since slip ring induction motors are used to accelerate heavy loads over a  long period of time and to withstand excessive heat phosphorous bronze slip is used.
