both (a) and (b)

32. Efficiency of rankine cycle can be increased by

  1. decreasing initial steam pressure and temperature
  2. increasing exhaust pressure
  3. decreasing exhaust pressure
  4. increasing the expansion ratio
  5. increasing number of regenerative heaters.

Correct answer: (A)
decreasing initial steam pressure and temperature

33. Equivalent evaporation is the amount of water evaporated in a boiler from and at

  1. 0°C
  2. 100°C
  3. saturation temperature at given pressure
  4. room temperature
  5. 20°C.

Correct answer: (B)
100°C

34. Equivalent evaporation of water is the evaporation “for a feed water supply at 100°C

  1. and its corresponding conversion into dry saturated steam at 100°C and 1.033 kg/cm2
  2. and its corresponding conversion into dry steam at desired boiler pressure
  3. conversion into steam at atmospheric condition
  4. conversion into steam at the same pres-sure at which feed water is supplied
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (A)
and its corresponding conversion into dry saturated steam at 100°C and 1.033 kg/cm2

35. Evaporative capacity of boiler is expressed as

  1. kg of steam produced
  2. steam pressure produced
  3. kg of fuel fired
  4. kg of steam produced per kg of fuel fifed
  5. kg of water evaporated.

Correct answer: (D)
kg of steam produced per kg of fuel fifed

36. Expanding steam to a very low prseeure (high vacuum) in steam engines is

  1. desirable
  2. economical
  3. essential
  4. optional
  5. uneconomical.

Correct answer: (E)
uneconomical.

37. Feed water conditioning in thermal power plants in done to

  2. increase efficiency-of thermal power plant
  3. increase *heat transfer rate
  4. increase steam parameters
  5. all of the above.

Correct answer: (A)
reduce hardness and for removal of solids

38. Film boling occurs at

  1. very low pressure
  2. atmospheric pressures
  3. medium pressures
  4. very high pressures
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
very high pressures

39. Fire tube boilers are limited to a maximum design working pressure of

  1. 1 kg/cm
  2. 6 kg/cm
  3. 17 kg/cm2
  4. 100 kg/cm2
  5. 250 kg/cm2.

Correct answer: (C)
17 kg/cm2

40. Fire tube boilers are those in which

  2. water passes through the tubes and flue gases around it
  3. forced circulation takes place
  4. tubes are laid vertically
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (A)
flue gases pass through tubes and water around it
