hot gases

SAFETY VALVE 5. It blows off the extra steam when the steam pressure inside the boiler
reaches above safety level

WATER TUBE BOILER 6. This type of boiler requires fresh water as well as water treatment
plants to maintain necessary quality

GRATE 7. What do u call to the platform on which the solid fuel is burnt?
LANCASHIRE BOILER 8. This boiler works on the basic principle of heat ex-changer.

9-10. Give at least 2 area of application of a Lancashire Boiler:

 Steam turbines, Marines, Locomotives

SUPER HEATER 11. In Babcock and Wilcox Boiler, one end of ______ is connected to the
drum and other end is for process work.

12. Steam separator drum and water tubes are connected by the two tubes. What are those?
UPTAKE HEADER, DOWN TAKE HEADER

8.5m and is 4m.13-14. Standard shell diameter and length of locomotive boiler are ___ and __
respectively.

15. Give at least 1 type of safety valve

• LEVER SAFETY VALVE SPRING LOADED SAFETY VALVE
• DEAD WEIGHT SAFETY VALVE HIGH STEAM AND LOW WATER “”

FUSIBLE PLUG 16. It is a safety device used for preventing the level of water from going down
below a critical point and thus avoid overheating.

FEED PUMP 17. The function of _____ is to pump the feed water into the boiler against the
pressure of boiler.

BOILER ACCESSORIES 18. Devices responsible for increasing boiler efficiency.

ECONOMIZER 19. It is placed in the path of the flue gases in between the exit from the boiler
and entry into air preheater/chimney

STEAM SEPARATOR 20. Accessory which separates suspended water particles carried by steam on its
way from the boiler to the engine or turbine without allowing the steam to escape through it.
1.) It is a device which transforms the chemical energy of a fuel into thermal energy
and uses energy to produce mechanical work. (Heat Engine)
2.) Give at least one comparison of four-stroke and two-stroke engine
3.) This is the initial process used in all refineries and aims to separate the crude oil
into different boiling range fractions (Distillation process)
4.) It provides air-fuel mixture for all operating conditions (Simple Carburettor)
5.) A measuring device to measure the speed of a rotating shaft of a motor
(Tachometer)
6.) A measuring device to measure the torque (Dynamometer)
7.) The purpose of this is to cool down the water received from the engine (Radiator)
8.) According to this theory, the lubricant is supposed to act like mass of globules,
rolling in between two surfaces and produces a rolling effect which reduces friction
(Fluid Film Theory)
9.) A matter of equilization of internal temperature to prevent local overheating as well
as to remove sufficient heat energy to maintain a practical overall working
temperature. (Cooling)
10-13.) Give at least four (4) main components of reciprocating internal combustion
engines
14.) Give at least one comparison of SI and CI engine
15.) Engine fuels contain this with bonds between hydrogen and carbon atoms.
(Liquid HydroCarbons)
16.) It is used to avoid the problems of modern carburettor and used in diesel engine;
continuous and timed injection methods are used (Petrol Injection)
17-20.) The four cycles of operation in four strokes of the piston or two revulotion of
the piston (Suction stroke, compression stroke, combustion and expansion
stroke, exhaust stroke)
