- A rectangular plate measures 500
mm
by 250
mm
. The area is ______
m²
.
- 12.5
- 125
- 0.125
- 0.00125
- The work done in moving an object through a certain distance is the product of this distance by the:
- torque.
- moment.
- couple.
- force.
- The purpose of the intercooler in an air compressor is to:
- condense the oil and water vapours from the air.
- reduce the temperature of the air between stages.
- increase the air pressure at the compressor outlet.
- obtain the results mentioned in (1) and (2).
- Cocks rather than valves are usually fitted for boiler water gauge glass mountings because:
- they can be shut off more quickly should the gauge glass break.
- they are easier to make and hence cheaper.
- they are easier to maintain and repair.
- they are required by Transport Canada Regulations.
- The anchor chain is lifted by the:
- capstan.
- mooring winch.
- windlass.
- cargo winch.
- A breaker is installed in an electric circuit to:
- protect the generator in case of reverse power.
- allow the fuses to safely carry a higher current.
- ensure reliability in case the fuse does not melt.
- protect the circuit from damage should it become overloaded.
- When topping-off the tanks whilst loading fuel oil, you should:
- check the working pressure on the flexible transfer hose.
- have the mooring lines tended to prevent stress on the transfer hose.
- reduce the rate of flow to the tanks.
- fit blank flanges on the unused manifold connections.
- Smoke coming from the crankcase breather of a Diesel engine usually indicates:
- that there is too much lubricating oil in the engine base.
- an overheated bearing.
- worn or seized piston rings.
- carbon dioxide discharge valve to the crankcase has been left open.
- A thermostat is installed in the cooling water system of a Diesel engine to control the _____________________ of the coolant.
- temperature
- density
- velocity
- all of (1), (2) and (3)
- The purpose of the flywheel mounted on the end of an internal combustion engine is to:
- provide for the fitting of the starter ring gear.
- absorb energy from the power stroke and return some of it on the other strokes.
- prevent the crankshaft from turning too fast on the exhaust stroke.
- balance the load between each cylinder.
- The absence of carbon monoxide in the flue gases of a boiler indicates:
- low carbon content of the fuel.
- nearly complete combustion.
- fuel contamination.
- too much excess air.
- The steam used to operate the air ejector is condensed in the air ejector condenser by circulating ___________________________ through the tubes.
- the condensate from the condenser
- the brine from the evaporator
- the turbine lubricating oil
- sea water from the auxiliary circulating pump
- The main disadvantage of a submerged-coil type of evaporator is:
- high steam consumption per kilogram of water evaporated.
- high cleaning costs.
- poor performance.
- all of the disadvantages listed above.
- Abnormally high temperature of the oil in the fuel system of a boiler causes:
- an increase of steam quantity and a better atomization.
- excessive carbon deposits on the burner tips and spray defects.
- cold burner tip leading to flame impingement.
- damage to refractory materials and tubes due to the high viscosity.
- Above normal temperature of condensate in a marine condenser indicates:
- leaky sea water tubes.
- a cracked condenser casing.
- a lack of circulating water.
- overall high efficiency of the plant.
