61. In an experiment to determine dryness fraction of steam, the mass of water separated was 1.2 kg in 15 mts and the mass of steam passed out in same time was 4.8 kg. Dryness fraction is

  1. 40%
  2. 25%
  3. 50%
  4. 80%
  5. 90%.

Correct answer: (D)
80%

62. In designing air preheater, the important design consideration is that

  1. approach temperature should be as low as possible
  2. handling and maintenance should be easier
  3. heat transfer area should be optimum
  4. stack gases should not be cooled to the dew point
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
stack gases should not be cooled to the dew point

63. In forced circulation type boiler

  1. heating takes place at bottom and the water supplied at bottom gets converted into the mixture of steam bubbles and hot water which rise to drum
  2. water is supplied in drum and through down-comers located in atmospheric condition it passes to the water wall and rises to drum in the form of mixture of water and steam
  3. feed pump is employed to supplement natural circulation in water wall type furnace
  4. water is converted into steam in one pass without any recirculation
  5. water is heated in a large number of tubes.

Correct answer: (D)
water is converted into steam in one pass without any recirculation

64. In forced recirculation type boiler,

  1. heating takes place at bottom and the water supplied at bottom gets converted into the mixture of'steam bubbles and hot water which rise to drum
  2. water is supplied in drum and through down-comers located in atmospheric condition it passes to the water wall and rises to drum in the form of mixture of water and steam
  3. feed pump is employed to supplement natural circulation in water wall type furnace
  4. water is converted into steam in one pass without any recirculation
  5. heating of water takes place in stages.

Correct answer: (C)
feed pump is employed to supplement natural circulation in water wall type furnace

65. In locomotive boiler, maximum steam pressure is limited to

  1. 1 kg/cm2
  2. 5 kg/cm2
  3. 10 kg/cm2
  4. 18 kg/cm2
  5. 31 kg/cm2.

Correct answer: (D)
18 kg/cm2

66. In locomotives, the draught is produced by

  1. chimney
  2. induced draft fan
  3. both combined (a) and (b)
  4. steam jet draught
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
steam jet draught

67. In natural circulation type boiler,

  1. heating takes place at bottom and the water supplied at bottom gets converted into the mixture of steam bubbles and hot water which rise to drum
  2. water is supplied in durm and through down-comers located in atmospheric conditon it passes to the water wall and rises to drum in the form of mixture of water and steam
  3. feed pump is employed to supplement natural circulation in water wall type furnace
  4. water is converted into steam in one . pass without any recirculation
  5. water is fed at atmospheric pressure.

Correct answer: (A)
heating takes place at bottom and the water supplied at bottom gets converted into the mixture of steam bubbles and hot water which rise to drum

68. In ordetjo obtain superheated steam, a superheater is added in an existing boiler. As as result, furnace vacuum will

  1. remain unaffected
  2. improve (c) worsen
  3. may improve/worsen depending on size
  4. unpredictable.
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (C)
may improve/worsen depending on size

69. In regenerative air preheater, the heat is transferred

  1. from a metal wall from one medium to another
  2. from heating an intermediateanaterial and then heating the air from this material
  3. by direct mixing
  4. heat is transferred by bleeding some gas from furnace
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (B)
from heating an intermediateanaterial and then heating the air from this material

70. In water wall furnace, the heat is transferred to the water-walls by

  1. convection
  2. radiation
  3. conduction
  4. radiation and conducton
  5. radiation and convection.

Correct answer: (B)
radiation
