refrigerant should be low to minimize the work required per kg of refrigerant circulated, since
evaporation and condenser temperatures are? xed by the temperatures of the surroundings -
selection is based on operating pressures in the evaporator and the condenser selection is
based on the suitability of the pressure-temperature relationship of the refrigerant other
factors include chemical stability toxicity cost environmental friendliness does not result in
very low pressures in the evaporator (air leakage) does not result in very high pressures in the
condenser (refrigerant leakage) OR condensing pressure should be moderate. b) But the
pressure should be preferably above the atmospheric pressure so as to prevent air from
entering the system in the event of leak. c.) Low freezing point d.)Volume of refrigerant gas
need to be pumped per ton of refrigerating effect should be low. d.) it should have high
thermodynamic efficiency. Thermodynamic efficiency is the ratio between heat abstracted by
the refrigerating machinery and the heat equivalent of the power supplied the compressors e.)
it should not be flammable or explosive. f.) it should not be toxic. g.) the tendency of a
refrigerant to leak should be low, and the detection of leak should be easy. h.) for good heat
transfer viscosity should be low, thermal conductivity high. i.) it is preferred that there should
not be a chemical reaction between the refrigerant and the lub oil. j.) cheaper in cost. k.) non
corrosive, non flammable, chemically stable, non explosive, miscibility with oil, ozne
depletion potential, high critical temperature.
81) What is lean mixture in dual fuel combustion engine? (lean burn means the mixture of air

less. Then afterwards we use undersized bearing, if the engine has thick shell bearings same
procedure with shims have to be put in, the oil pressure should never fall below 3.5 bars
under full load condition.)
105) DEWATERING system (provide draining and or pumping facility to pump out water

volumetric displacement corresponding to the design waterline and BULK CARRIER means
a ship which is constructed generally with single deck, top-side tanks and hopper side tanks
in cargo spaces, and is intended primarily to carry dry cargo in bulk and includes such types
as ore carriers and combination carriers)
111) angle of loll (angle of loll: If ship is initially unstable, and the ship heels so much that
the B comes under G, then GM is 0.so now the ship is inclined and in a kind of neutral
equilibrium. now if the ship is further heeled, the ship rolls about this point .this is because on
further heeling beyond loll angle, GZ becomes positive)
112) The m/e t/c lub is supplied by m/e lo p/p, during sudden lub p/p failure how t/c is
protected. (POST LUBRICATION TANK and lubrication system. During normal engine
operation the post lubrication system is continuously filled by lube oil via a small bypass line
from the m/e l.o. system that also supplies the t/c. Excessive ...l.o. is unpressurised supplied
back to the m/e l.o. circuit bhy means of a free o'flow.In case of a shutdown or blackout of
the m/e where the l.o. supply from the m/e to the t/c is interrupted, the l.o. flows down from
the from the post lubrication tk by gravity, ensuring the lubrication and cooling of the two
plain bearings during running out of the rotor for up to 20 mins. The m/e should be stopped
within this time!! This system features 2 separate oil inlet pipes and 2 running down pipes
with different levels from the post lubrication tk to the brgs. This ensures that in case of
standstill of m/e and shut off l.o. supply that the turbine side brg is longer lubricated and
cooled than the blower side brg. This tk is @ atmospheric pressure.)
113) What is no volt coil? (Volt coil is used in trip ckt . this is energized by one phase and if
there is any dip in the voltage then this coil is insufficiently energised and hence the breaker
trips. OR no volt coil can also be used in starter, when handle is on ON position motor gets
supply and entire starting resistance is series with armature and field. The current thru no volt
coil energize it when handle is moved to run position, the no volt coil holds the handle by
attracting the soft iron piece on the handle. Hence the no volt coil is also known as hold on
coil. The no volt coil is designed in such a way that it holds the handle in run position only
when sufficient current is flowing for which motor can run safely. If there is loss of load
current drawn by motor decreases due to which it loses its required magnetism and release
the handle. Under spring load it comes back to off position, protecting the motor from over
speeding. Similarly if there is any voltage decrease then also no volt coil releases the handle.
And in D.O.L. pg-70 mc.g )
114) Skin effect (tendency of ac current to distribute itself within a conductor with the current
densities being largest near the surface. Causes the effective resistance of the conductor to
increase at higher frequencies where the skin depth is smaller thus reducing effective cross
section of the conductor)
115) why we use soft iron core in transformer (hysteresis loss reduces due to less residual
magnetism)
116) how bus bar is bolted (
117) how will u check the O2 bottle supplied by the shore in large numbers if they are full or
not (bottles are checked by radio isotopes or by weighing them...since u mention large
numbers then radios isotopes s the best method...its similar to a laser gun used in checking
temperatures)
118) What is bumping clearance and what r its effect?
119) What is bastard file? ( bastard file is a rough file bastard is the degree of roughness
generally files are rough, bastard, smooth and super smooth)
120) under which condition would u change the stuffing box spring (stuffing box spring
should/can be changed 1) when from tel tel hole of individual unit of stuffing box lot of oil is
coming and lube oil loss is there, u don’t have sealing ring, scrapper ring, or lamellas....so for
time ...being u can change the spring. 2)when u completely overhaul stuffing box 3) when
spring elongation is exceeded as per manual.....usually checked by hanging one kg weight at
end new length -original length gies the elongation, check with manual for limits.....discard,
replace with new one)
121) What does the markings on the valve 5K-50 mean? (5k- 50 means a valve designed for
5 kg pressure and pcd is 50 mm)
122) Why water drained from air bottle is milky white in color? (due to emulsion of water
and oily)
123) As per marpol annex II what is water performance test? ( pg275-276, annex 2, appendix
5)
124) What type of welding are used 2 welds the anode to the hull & amp type of electrode?
Sinha and mukharjee
125) What is gusset plate, stiller plate, docking bracket, swash bulk head n thr purpose. (pg-
21/47 ship cons, stealer plate: a single wide plate which replaces two narrow plates in
adjacent strakes of a ship plating/ the girth of the ship decreased toward the ends and so the
width of the plates is also decresed in these parts. To save making the plates too narrow at the
ends of the ship, it is usual to run a number of pairs of adjacent strakes into one. )
126) what is required subdivision index and attained subdivision index

lesser pitch and bolt thread is metric
131) WAT IS AFRAMAX TANKER.EXACT DIFINITION. ( Aframax are ships with dwt
b/w 80000 and 120000 and breadth over 32 mts. And the word afra means "average freight
rate assessment"
132) If chief officer says that cow machine is not working how will 2/e go about to convince
him that it is working satisfactorily? ( There is an indicator on top of the cow machine which
will show its operation. you can show him that OR you can do top wash. when u stand on the
top of the tank i.e deck..the oils hits the inside top of the tank during top wash so when u
stand on the deck u can feel it and make him convince that its all working fine)
133) To which part of the ship is the pintle attached and how is it attached? is it fixed or is it
floating with the rudder stock? ( pintle brg,refer reeds or taylor ship const OR pintle has a
tapered face which matches the tapered surface of rudder arm and then bolted. Pintle rotates
along with the rudder)
134) Distance of the lubricating quills from top of the liner in terms of length of the liner.

condition, polishing, glazing, cracks)
138) What causes ovality of liner (crosshead guideshoe and guide clearance)
139) What is propeller law (a series of relationship for an installed power transmission sys
which refers to shaft power, engine speed and mean effective pressure. These relationships
place particle limits on engine designer. An engine under test and coupled to a dynamometer
ll operate according to the propeller law.)
140) What do we infer from Admiralty coefficient (reed’s naval arch-127)
141) what are liner ribs and why they are in segments and use (provided at upper parts of
liner to withstand combustion pressure and strengthening, in segments for freedom of coolant
to flow)
142) how piezo electric crystal looks (tetragonal crystals)
143) why engine room valves lift is D/4
144) what is the special construction of pedestal bearing on free end of rotor in auxiliary
engine (margin for expansion)
145) What is fitted bolt? How is it fitted? Where is it used? (Fitted bolts are used to connect
rudder stock with rudder.( details refer naval arch alphi Delphi OR This is a closely fitted
bolt. The holes are initially drilled to undersize and are reamed in the assembling place before
the bolts are tightened in place. Accuracy is required in the machining. These bolts could be
of two types one having ...a slight taper of about 1:100 on diameter and the other having a
large taper of about 1:15 on diameter. However, the holes in either case are reamed in final
place. Sometimes an oversized bolt is stretched hydraulically reducing the bolt diameter.
When tightened down and the hydraulic pressure is released the final exact fit in the bolt hole
is achieved, like a pilgrim nut on coupling shafts. These bolts find place in engine / boiler
mountings, coupling shafts etc. and form a rigid fixture. On main engine mounting these are
situated aft of the engine in the way of thrust block. OR interference bolt and fitted bolt are
they same? What i have heard is fitted bolt dia and hole dia are the same. They are fitted by
hammering. Interference bolt dia is slightly bigger than the hole dia and these bolts are fitted
by hydraulic stretching and later bolted and the hydraulic pressure released.
A waste gate arrangement is a valve in turbocharger that regulate amount of exhaust gases in
the turbine side of tc diverting some of the exhaust gases directly in exhaust piping this will
regulate the speed of tc and thus the compression ratio on the compressor side of tc. this is
sometimes required in winter season as the air is cold thereby dense and less compression is
needed as tc are designed on normal temp so this arrangement is sometimes there for winter
season.
146) What is VIT and super VIT. (Before the Super VIT was introduced variable injection
timing was obtained by means of a special profile on the fuel pump plunger. Hence there was
a fixed relationship between the injection timing and the fuel index. Thus it was not possible
to adjust the fuel index of the individual pumps without also altering the injection timing. For
this reason the Super VIT was introduced, where it is possible to adjust the fuel index and the
injection timing independently In VIT beginning of injection could be controlled, but end of
injection was fixed, due to profile of plunger n thus amount of fuel injected could not be
changed with varying angle of injection at beginning. Thus MAN came up with super VIT
where beginning n end both could be controlled by raising or lowering barrel in relation to
plunger. Sulzer system when introduced vit way back in 80's it could control both beginning
n end. Thus super VIT is for MAN B&W engines only
147) What is the purpose of tst in bulk carriers? (For hatch coming support, for carrying
ballast during ballast voyage.)
148) What r the checks u would do on over board disc v/vs.?
149) Why governor spring is conical? ( f=mw2r and f=kx so linear relation)
150) What is a float free arrangement? (Float Free Arrangement is required on Emergency
Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB) and life rafts. This allows the unit to float free
and operate automatically if the vessel sinks. Units may still be able to be launched / released
manually. Float-free launching is the method of launching a life raft whereby it is
automatically released from a sinking ship and is ready for use. Float-free arrangements may
either be an HRU or some other means. Whatever type it is, if your vessel capsizes too
quickly for you to release the life raft manually the float-free arrangement may be your only
chance of survival. A hydrostatic release unit used in a float free arrangement must have a
Coast Guard approval number starting with 160.062. A float free link may be used with a
Buoyant Apparatus or a Life Float and must be certified to meet 46 CFR, subpart 160.073
151) wat is nitriding? (Nitriding is a heat treating process that alloys nitrogen onto the surface
of a metal to create a case hardened surface. Three process are there for nitriding 1. gas
nitriding 2. salt bath nitriding. 3. plasma nitriding.)
152) explain how survey of rudder is done? how is the load of the rudder is transmitted to the
ships hull? discuss about the stationary and moving cones? (pg 88 ship construction, wt of
rudder acts down thru stock. This is supported by rudder carrier bearing. From stock load is
transferred to pilgrim nut then to tiller then to distance piece, then to upper cone, then to base
cone which is fixed to steering gear flat. upper cone is moveable & lower cone is fixed
as it is attached to steering flat • rudder survey a. Visual examination of the rudder plating for
cracks and distortion. Air plugs and drain plugs are to be opened in the presence of the class
surveyor, repair superintendent and chief officer. Water draining out indicates a breached
rudder and the breach to be located by air pressure testing and applying soap repairs to be
planned. Check the rudder drop in the steering gear compartment (trammel gauge). Check the
pintle clearances, jumping bar clearance and the palm coupling bolts tightness to be checked.
Check the rudder stock for corrosion, erosion and any damage. The inspection plates in the
way of the upper, the lower pintle to be cut open, and the pintle nuts checked for proper
securing. Later the plates to be welded and tested. Hydraulic test the rudder for a static head
of about 2.45m of sea water. After draining and re oiling the internals, plug the drain and
check the effectiveness by a vacuum check and cement the plug. The rudder stock gland
packing has to be checked and •
153) what is the similarity and difference between a m/e governor and flywheel ( gov
maintains speed of engine, flywheel controls cyclic fluctuation of engine rpm, flywheel
works on virtue of inertia alone, govnr uses inertia to actuate fuel linkage to counter change
in rpm)
154) What is a thermal boiler? (In thermal boiler organic oils is heated in order to generate

157) Describe the items of a RO plant that require frequent overhaul and maintenance. How
is sterilization carried out in it? (semi permeable membrane, acid addition, chlorination,
u.v.sterlizers)
158) What is a torsion meter? (it is a device to determine the torque or torsion in a shaft
usually by measuring the twist in a calibrated length of shaft. )
159) how will you avoid oil leaking from stern tube to sea( i think answer is by reducing the
head of oil, by adding high viscosity oil, biodegradable oil)
160) How high pressure pipes are manufactured? (seamless pipes )
161) The classification societies accept a diminution of the chain thickness up to 11%. ( open
joining shackle)
162) how can we get a plate from lets say 16 mm thick two plate of equal dimensions just 8
mm thick plate ( is cutting from its thickness but then the question is how to cut? doesn’t
want laser cutting : it could be done by heating the plate and passing thru rollers to reduce
thickness and then cutting it into two equal)

SATPATHY AND MUKHERJEE
