Q. 134
Assertion (A): Bell-Coleman cycle used in aircraft refrigeration system.
Reason (R): There is possibility of frosting at the expander valves.

Have any Doubt ?

Aa
BbCorrect Option

Solution :
(b)
• Because of low weight per tonne of refrigeration Bell Coleman cycle used in air-craft application.
• The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air taken into the system always contains
moisture.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 135
Assertion (A): At 10% richer mixture detonation in S.I. engine is minimum.
Reason (R): The flame propagation velocity is maximum at 10% richer mixture.

DdCorrect Option

Solution :
(d)
When mixture is slightly reached, temperature is very high and ignition lag is minimum and flame propagation
velocity is maximum. But the effect of former is more and hence knocking is more.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 136
Assertion (A): The effective head of turbomachine is equal to gross head minus the head lost in penstock and

Carnot cycle efficiency is independent on working substance.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 139
Assertion (A): Losses in V-belt drives are comparatively more than those of in flat belt drives.
Reason (R): There will be increased internal friction and creep on the pulleys, which are major causes of
power loss in belt drives.

Have any Doubt ?

AaCorrect Option

Solution :
(a)
• Both statements are correct and reason correctly explains the assertion.
• For medium service conditions, the efficiency of flat belt drives is 96% while the efficiency of V-belt is 95%.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 140
Assertion (A): Gear shifting mechanism in automobile gearboxes comprises of splines.
Reason (R): Splines are used when there is a relative motion between the shaft and the hub.

Have any Doubt ?

AaCorrect Option

Solution :
(a)
Splines are keys which are made integral with the shaft. They are used when there is a relative axial motion
between the shaft and the hub. The gear shifting mechanism in automobile gear boxes requires such type of
construction.

Solution :
(d)
Light models have low capacity as compared to heavier class of robots, because load carrying capacity of a
robot depends on its physical size and construction.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 143
Assertion (A): During cutting, the diamond tool is kept flooded with coolant.
Reason (R): The oxidation of diamond starts at about 450°C.

Have any Doubt ?

AaCorrect Option

Solution :
(a)
Diamond tool is kept flooded by the coolent since oxidation of diamond starts at about 450°C and it can even
crack. So, flooded coolant keeps temperature below 450°C.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 144
Assertion (A): Hot working does not produce strain hardening.
Reason (R): Hot working is done below the recrystallization temperature.

Have any Doubt ?

Aa
Bb
CcCorrect Option

Solution :
(c)
Since hot working is done above the recrystallisation temperature so there may be recovery and
recrystallisation, resulting in no strain hardening and hence any amount of deformation can be imparted.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 145
Assertion (A): A pair of gears forms a rolling pair.
Reason (R): The gear drive is a positive drive.

Have any Doubt ?

AaCorrect Option

Solution :
(a)
Links of a pair having rolling motion relative to each other, form a rolling pair. No slip takes place between
gears, so gear drive is a positive drive and this results in pure rolling, forming a rolling pair.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 147
Assertion (A): At higher strain rate and low temperature, structural steel tends to become ductile.
Reason (R): At higher strain rate and low temperature the yield strength of structural steel tends to increase.

Have any Doubt ?

Aa

DdCorrect Option

Solution :
(d)
• At low temperature and higher strain rate, ductile to brittle transition takes place and structural steel tends to
become brittle.
• Most materials experience increase in tensile and yield strength at low temperatures.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 148
Assertion (A): A product layout is preferred the flexibility in sequence of operations is required.
Reason (R): Product layout reduces inventories as well as labour cost.

Solution :
(d)
• In product layout, we have to produce a particular product i.e. there will be lesser flexibility in product
layout.
• However, product layout reduces inventories as well as labour cost.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 149
Assertion (A): The principle of superposition is valid whenever the strain or stress to be obtained is directly
proportional to the applied loads.
Reason (R): Strain energy per unit volume depends upon the product of stress and strain.

Have any Doubt ?

Aa
BbCorrect Option

Solution :
(b)
• Both statements are individually correct.
• Principle of superposition is valid whenever the strain or stress to be obtained is a linear function of the
applied loads.
• Strain energy per unit volume 1/2 × stress × strain.

QUESTION ANALYTICS

Q. 150
Assertion (A): For a section having an axis of symmetry, there will not be twisting if the loading axis
coincides with the symmetrical axis.
Reason (R): The plane of loading contains the bending axis.

Have any Doubt ?

Aa
Bb
CcCorrect Option

Solution :
(c)
• For bending without twisting, plane of loading must contain one of the principal central axis of the section. In
case the section has a plane of symmetry, the symmetrical plane would contain the principal central axis. So,
assertion is correct.
• However reason is wrong, since the bending axis will be perpendicular to the plane of loading.
