Mechanical:

Question 1:

The heat flow equation through a cylinder of inner radius r1 and outer radius r2 is desired to be written in the
same form as that for heat flow through a plane wall. For wall thickness (r2-r1) the area will be

(a) A1 + A2/2

(b) A2 – A1/ log e (A2/A1)

(c) A1 + A2

(d) A1 + A2/2 log e (A2/A1)

Explanation :
Here A1 and A2 are the inner and outer surface areas of tubes. The net area is AM.

Question 2:

The diffusion equations

Ɏ2t + q g = (1/α) (d t/d r)

Governs the temperature distribution under unsteady heat flow through a homogeneous and isotropic material.
The Fourier equation follows from this expression when

(a) There is no internal heat generation but unsteady state condition prevails

(b) Temperature doesn’t depends on time

(c) Steady state conditions prevail

(d) There is no internal heat generation

Explanation :
There is no internal heat generation but unsteady state condition prevails
Question 3:

The literature of heat transfer generally recognizes distinct modes of heat transfer. How many modes are there?

(a) Four

(b) Three

(c) Two

(d) One

Explanation :
There are three modes of heat transfer i.e. radiation, convection and conduction.

Question 4:

The thermal resistance for heat conduction through a spherical wall is

(a) (r2-r1)/2πkr1r2

(b) (r2-r1)/3πkr1r2

(c) (r2-r1)/πkr1r2

(d) (r2-r1)/4πkr1r2

Explanation :
We get this on integrating the equation Q = -k A d t/ d r from limits r1 to r2 and T1 to T2.

Question 5:

Negative sign in Fourier heat conduction equation indicates

(a) Heat always flow is in the direction of positive temperature gradient

(b) Data is insufficient

(c) Heat always flow in the direction of negative temperature gradient

(d) No heat flow is there

Explanation :
The ratio d t/d x represents the change in temperature per unit thickness i.e. the temperature gradient. So it
represents heat flow in the direction of negative temperature gradient.

Question 6:

Substitution of a foreign atom in the site of parent atom in the crystal is a?

(a) Vacancy defect

(b) Substitution Impurity

(c) Vacancy defect

(d) Volume Imperfection

Explanation :
In Substitution impurity, foreign atom takes the position of parent atom. Total number of atoms remains the same
after the defect.

Question 7:

Degree of freedom at a triple point is equal to

(a) 0

(b) -1

(c) 10

(d) 1

Explanation :
At triple point degree of freedom becomes zero. There is no possible movement in any plane at the triple point of
any substance.

Question 8:

What is the value of average number of grains in per square inch for ASTM 11?

(a) 2048

(b) 1024
(c) 5

(d) 6

Explanation :
1024

Option B is correct answer.

Question 9:

γ-iron is obtained above which of the following given temperature in centigrade?

(a) 910

(b) 1410

(c) 768

(d) 1539

Explanation :
Above 910 degree centigrade steel becomes γ iron with FCC structure. It is one of the allotropic form of iron.

Question 10:

Gibbs phase rule is given by which of the following equation?

(a) D=C+P+2

(b) D=C+P-1

(c) D=C-P+2

(d) D=C+P+1

Explanation :
Gibbs phase rule is given by D=C+P+2, where D is the degree of freedom, C is the number of component in the
system, and P is number of phases in equilibrium in the system.

Question 11:

Youngs modulus of elasticity and Poissons ratio of a material are 1.25 x 102 MPa and 0.34 respectively. The
modulus of rigidity of the material is __________
(a) 0.4025 MPa

(b) 0.9469 MPa

(c) 0.8375 MPa

(d) 0.4664 MPa

Explanation :
As E = 2G(1 + μ)

1.25 x 102 = 2G(1 + 0.34)

G = 0.4664 x 102 MPa.

Question 12:

How many elastic constants of a non homogeneous, non isotropic material will be?

(a) 15

(b) 9

(c) 21

(d) 20

Explanation :
Non isotropic or anisotropic materials have different properties in different directions. They show non-
homogeneous behaviour. The number of elastic constants is 21.

Question 13:

For a material, Youngs modulus is given as 1.2 x 105 and Poissons ratio 1/4. Calculate the bulk modulus.

(a) 0.8 x 105

(b) 1.2 x 105

(c) 0.7 x 105

(d) 1.2 x 105

Explanation :
The bulk modulus is given as K = E/3(1 - 2μ)

= 1.2 x 105/3(1 - 2/4)

= 0.8 x 105.

Question 14:

What is the factor of safety?

(a) The ratio of ultimate stress to the permissible stress

(b) The ratio of permissible stress to the ultimate stress

(c) The ratio of stress to strain

(d) The ratio of longitudinal strain to stress

Explanation :
Factor of safety is the ratio of ultimate stress to the permissible stress.

Question 15:

(a) True stress at fracture is higher than the ultimate stress

(b) None of the mentioned

(c) Nominal stress at fracture is higher than the ultimate stress

(d) True stress a fracture is the same as the ultimate stress

Explanation :
In a ductile material, the true stress at fracture will be higher the ultimate stress.
