Question # 99 ‘The valve commonly used in pipes larger than 2" diameter is a (a) Globe valve (b) Pluge-cock (© Gate valve (@) Cheek valve Answer: ‘The correct option to this question is (c). Explanation For a line greater than 2" diameter we mostly preffered to use Gate valve, it is so because in large diameter pipe due to frequent change in direction will cause an abnornal pressure drop. Also the factor of cost plays its role. It very expensive to make a larger globe valve than a gate valve. Question # 98 Glass pipes can be joined by (a) Flanges (b) Welding (Soldering (@) Bell & spigot joint Answer: The correct option to this question is (d). Explanation Pipes made up of brittle materials such as glass or carbon or cost iron are joined by flanges or bell & spigot joint. Welding, flanges & soldering for matelic coupling. Question #97 Which of the following facilitates close control of flow of the fluids? (a) Gate valve (b) Globe valve (©) Butterfly valve (@) Check valve Answer: The correct option to this question is (b). Explanation Globe valves are used for applications requiring throttling and frequent operation. They facilitates close control of flow of the fluidsQuestion #96 Cheek valves are used (a) At high pressure. (b) In bends (© For controlling water flow. (@) For unidirectional flow. Answer: L The correct option to this question is (d). Explanation Check valves are non return valve (NRV) it mean they are unidirectional valves. Question #95 The valve used for very remote & accurate control of fluid is the...... valve, (a) Needle (b) Globe (c) Gate (@) Butterfly Answer: ‘The correct option to this question is (a). Explanation A needle valve is a type of valve having a small port and a threaded, needle- shaped plunger. It allows precise regulation of flow, although it is generally only capable of relatively low flow rates. Question # 94 Most commonly used joint in the under ground pipe lines is the (a) Sleeve joint () Coupling (©) Flange (@ Expansion joint Answer: The correct option to this question is (a). Explanation In underground fitting most commonly used joints are sleeve joints take the example of you house drainage system.Question #93 Scale up of agitator design requires (a) Geometrical similarity only. (b) Dynamic similarity only. (© Both Geometrical & Dynamic similarity onk (@) All Geometrical, dynamic & kinetic similarity. Answer: The correct option to this question is (d). Explanation Scale up an agitator from labortary equipment to full scale industrial setup is a major problem it requires, () Geometrical (ii) dynamic & (iii) Kinetic similarity. Question # 92 ‘A pitched blade turbine blade draws ...... a straight blade turbine. (a) Less Power than. (b) More Power than. ~~ (© Same power as. (@) Data insufficient to predict. Answer: The correct option to this question is (a). Explanation Due to the better design of the pitched impeller it draws less power than straight blade turbine impeller. Question #91 Froude number is not a factor (a) For Reynolds number greater than 300. (b) When there is no vertox formation. (© For unbaffled tank. (@ None of these. Answer: The correct option to this question is (b). Explanation Froude number is unimportant when there are baffles in the mixing tank in other words you can say when there is no vertox formation or when Re < 300.
