    The methods used to cool brushless alternating current (AC) generators are

    • A.

      Blast air and ram air

    • B.

      Engine oil and blast air

    • C.

      Blast air and generator oil

    • D.

      Generator oil and engine oil

    Correct Answer
    B. Engine oil and blast air
    Explanation
    The correct answer is engine oil and blast air. Brushless AC generators require cooling to prevent overheating. Engine oil is used to cool the generator's internal components, such as the stator and rotor, which generate heat during operation. This oil circulates within the generator and absorbs the heat, preventing damage to the generator. Additionally, blast air is used to provide external cooling by directing a flow of air over the generator. This helps to dissipate heat from the generator's surface, further preventing overheating. By using a combination of engine oil and blast air, the generator can effectively manage its temperature and operate efficiently.

    The correct answer is servo valve controls fluid-flow. A servo valve is a type of valve that is used to control the flow of fluid in a system. It is typically used in hydraulic systems and is operated by an electrical signal. On the other hand, a selector valve is a type of valve that is used to select between different fluid flow paths. While a selector valve may have four parts and be more complex, the key difference between the two is that a servo valve specifically controls the flow of fluid.

      Ball check valve

    • B.

      Gate check valve

    • C.

      Cone check valve

    • D.

      Restrictor check valve

    Correct Answer
    B. Gate check valve
    Explanation
    A flapper check valve is commonly known as a gate check valve. This type of valve uses a hinged flap or gate to allow fluid flow in one direction while preventing backflow. When the fluid flows in the correct direction, the gate opens, allowing the fluid to pass through. However, when there is a reverse flow, the gate closes, preventing the fluid from flowing backward. Therefore, the term "gate check valve" accurately describes the function and design of a flapper check valve.

    When pressure in a hydraulic system with a variable-volume pump increases, the fluid-flow

    • A.

      Stops

    • B.

      Increases

    • C.

      Decreases

    • D.

      Remains the same

    Correct Answer
    C. Decreases
    Explanation
    When the pressure in a hydraulic system with a variable-volume pump increases, the fluid-flow decreases. This is because the variable-volume pump adjusts its displacement to maintain a constant pressure. As the pressure increases, the pump reduces its displacement, resulting in a decrease in fluid flow. This helps to regulate the pressure within the system and prevent any potential damage or failure due to excessive pressure.
