Which of the following is not used as a refrigerant
- A.
Carbon monoxide
- B.
Ammonia
- C.
Sulphur dioxide
- D.
Carbon di-oxide
Correct Answer
A. Carbon monoxideExplanation
Carbon monoxide is not used as a refrigerant because it is highly toxic and poses a significant health risk. Refrigerants are substances used in cooling systems to absorb heat and transfer it away from the desired area. Ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide are commonly used as refrigerants due to their low toxicity levels and high heat absorption capacities. However, carbon monoxide is not suitable for this purpose due to its harmful effects on human health.Rate this question:

A refrigerant used in the domestic refrigerant is
- A.
Sulphur di- oxide
- B.
Air
- C.
Methane
- D.
Freon
Correct Answer
D. FreonExplanation
Freon is a commonly used refrigerant in domestic refrigerators. It is a type of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) which has high thermodynamic properties, making it an efficient coolant. It has low boiling point and easily evaporates to absorb heat from the surroundings, providing cooling effect. Freon is non-toxic and non-flammable, making it safe for household use. However, due to its harmful impact on the ozone layer, its production and use has been phased out in many countries in favor of more environmentally friendly alternatives.Rate this question:

Draft on a pattern is provided for
- A.
Facilitating pattern making
- B.
Easy lifting of casting
- C.
Facilitating with drawl of the pattern from the mould
- D.
Providing for shrinkage of casting
Correct Answer
D. Providing for shrinkage of castingExplanation
The correct answer is "Providing for shrinkage of casting." When a casting is made, it tends to shrink as it cools and solidifies. Therefore, the pattern used to create the mold needs to be slightly larger than the desired final product to account for this shrinkage. This ensures that the final casting will have the correct dimensions. The other options listed do not directly relate to the need for shrinkage allowance in the pattern.Rate this question:

Air fuel ratio in a jet engine is
- A.
10:1
- B.
40:1
- C.
60:1
- D.
90:1
Correct Answer
C. 60:1Explanation
The air fuel ratio in a jet engine is 60:1. This means that for every 60 units of air, 1 unit of fuel is used. This ratio is important for efficient combustion and optimal performance of the engine. A higher air fuel ratio indicates a lean mixture, which can result in better fuel efficiency but may also cause higher combustion temperatures. On the other hand, a lower air fuel ratio indicates a rich mixture, which can provide more power but may result in higher fuel consumption. Therefore, a ratio of 60:1 strikes a balance between fuel efficiency and engine performance.Rate this question:

Tungsten is HSS imparts
- A.
Corrosion resistances
- B.
Red hardness
- C.
Ductility
- D.
Shock resistances
Correct Answer
B. Red hardnessExplanation
Tungsten imparts red hardness. Red hardness refers to the ability of a material to maintain its hardness at high temperatures. Tungsten has one of the highest melting points of all metals, making it extremely resistant to softening or losing its hardness when exposed to high heat. This property makes tungsten ideal for applications where materials need to withstand high temperatures, such as in cutting tools or high-speed machining operations.Rate this question:

Select the proper sequences of the activities given (1) dispatching (2) Routing (3) schedules
- A.
(1)(2)(3)
- B.
(3)(2)(1)
- C.
1)(3)(2)
- D.
(3)(1)(2)
Correct Answer
B. (3)(2)(1)Explanation
The correct sequence of activities is (3)(2)(1). This means that schedules should be created first, then routing should be determined, and finally dispatching should take place. This order ensures that the schedules are in place before determining the most efficient route, and then dispatching the necessary resources based on the established schedules and routes.Rate this question:

Kerosene is used as coolant, which machining
- A.
Mild steel
- B.
Cast iron
- C.
Stainless steel
- D.
Aluminum
Correct Answer
B. Cast ironExplanation
Cast iron is the correct answer because it is a material commonly used in machining and requires a coolant to prevent overheating during the process. Kerosene is often used as a coolant in machining operations because it has good cooling properties and helps to lubricate the cutting tool. Mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum are also commonly used in machining, but they do not typically require a coolant like cast iron does.Rate this question:

- D.
Controlling inventory costs
Correct Answer
D. Controlling inventory costsExplanation
ABC analysis is a technique used in inventory management to categorize items based on their importance and value. It involves dividing inventory into three categories: A, B, and C. Category A items are the most important and valuable, while category C items are the least important and valuable. By controlling inventory costs, businesses can prioritize their resources and focus on managing the inventory that has the highest impact on their overall costs and profitability. This analysis helps in optimizing inventory levels, reducing carrying costs, and improving overall efficiency.Rate this question:

Parson’s turbine is an example of
- A.
Impulse turbine
- B.
Reaction turbine
- C.
Radial flow turbine
- D.
Water turbine
Correct Answer
B. Reaction turbineExplanation
Parson's turbine is an example of a reaction turbine. This type of turbine operates by both the impulse and reaction principles. The turbine blades are designed to create a pressure difference as the steam passes through them, which generates both a force and a change in momentum. This combination of pressure and momentum results in the rotation of the turbine. The reaction turbine is commonly used in power plants and is known for its high efficiency and ability to handle large volumes of fluid.Rate this question:

The output of a gas turbine is 3000kw and its efficiency is 20% the heat supplied is
- A.
150kw
- B.
6000kw
- C.
600mw
- D.
15mw
Correct Answer
D. 15mwExplanation
The output of a gas turbine is determined by multiplying the heat supplied with the efficiency. In this case, the efficiency is given as 20% (or 0.20) and the output is given as 3000kw. To find the heat supplied, we can rearrange the formula: heat supplied = output / efficiency. Substituting the given values, we get heat supplied = 3000kw / 0.20 = 15,000kw, which is equal to 15mw. Therefore, the correct answer is 15mw.Rate this question:

Machinability of steel is improved by the presences of
- A.
Nickel
- B.
Tungsten
- C.
Sulphur
- D.
Chromium
Correct Answer
A. NickelExplanation
The presence of nickel in steel improves its machinability. Nickel increases the strength and toughness of steel, making it easier to cut and shape. It also enhances the ability of steel to withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion. Additionally, nickel improves the surface finish of steel, reducing the risk of tool wear and improving the overall machinability of the material.Rate this question:
