Coal India Limited Mechanical engineering questions with answer 1. What is the importance of the Thermodynamics in the field of Mechanical Engineering?

All the mechanical engineering systems are studied with the help of thermodynamics. Hence it is

very

important for the mechanical engineers.

2. How many Laws of Thermodynamics are there?

There are three laws of the thermodynamics.

First Law: Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.In any process

in an

isolated system, the total energy remains the same.

Second Law: When two isolated systems in separate but nearby regions of space, each in

thermodynamic

equilibrium in itself, but not in equilibrium with each other at first, are at some time allowed to

Page 4: Coal India Limited -CIL written test examination …entrance-exam.net/forum/attachments/private-sector-jobs/...2012/04/30 · Coal India Limited -CIL written test examination previous

interact,

breaking the isolation that separates the two systems, and they exchange matter or energy, they

will

eventually reach a mutual thermodynamic equilibrium. The sum of the entropies of the initial,

isolated

systems is less than or equal to the entropy of the final exchanging systems. In the process of

reaching a

new thermodynamic equilibrium, entropy has increased, or at least has not decreased.

Third Law: As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a

minimum.

3. State Laws of conservation of energy?

According to the laws of conservation of energy, “energy can neither be created nor be

destroyed. It can

only be transformed from one form to another.”

4. Is the boiler a closed system?

Yes definitely the boiler is a closed system.

5. What is Carnot engine?

It was being designed by Carnot and let me tell you that Carnot engine is an imaginary engine

which

follows the Carnot cycle and provides 100% efficiency.

6. Which formula forms a link between the Thermodynamics and Electro chemistry?

Gibbs Helmholtz formula is the formula which forms the link between the thermodynamics and

electromagnetism.

37 ½

minutes and 45 minutes respectively. Both pipes are opened. The tank will be filled in just 30

minutes, if the

pipe B is turned off after ___ .

a) 9 min b) 15 min c) 10 min d) 5 min

Solution:

Pipe A can fill the full tank in 37 ½ = 75/2 minutes. Therefore in one minute it can fill 1/ (75/2) = 2/75thportion of tank. Pipe B can fill the full tank in 45 minutes. Therefore in one minute it can fill 1/45th portion of tank. Let Pipe B be turned off after x minutes Both the pipes would be running for the first x minutes, and then pipe Y alone will run for the remaining (30 – x) minutes. Then Part filled in by (pipe A+ pipe B) in x min + part filled in pipe B in (30-x) min =

1 (as you would be knowing1 represents full tank) Then Part filled in by (pipe A+ pipe B) in x min + part filled in pipe Y in (30-x) min = 1 (as you would be knowing1 represents full tank) Therefore (2/75+1/45)x+(30-x)2/75=1 11x/225+(60-2x)/75 11x+180-6x=225 x = 9 minx = 9 min.

womens can do the same in 2 days. Find the time taken by 15 Boys and 20 Girls in doing the

same type of

work?

a)7 days b) 5 days c) 6 days d) 4 days

Solution: Let one man’s work for one day be x and Let one boy’s work for one day be y Then 6x + 8 y = 1/10 -> eq 1 26x + 48 y = 1/2 -> eq 2 Multiply eq 1 by 6 on both sides: 36 xs + 48 y = 3/5 -> eq 3 Eq 3 – eq 2: 36x + 48y – 26x + 48y = 3/5 – 1/2 10x = 1/10 So x = 1/100 and y = 1/200 Amount of work that can be done by15 Boys and 20 Girlsin one day = (15/100 + 20/200) = 1/4 Therefore 15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days. Answer: d) 7days.

(3) Mr.Sairam, a building contractor was approached by karthik Apartments for constructing a

tank and installation of pipes for filling up the same. Mr.Sairam made a study of the complex and

fitted with

Pipe A and Pipe B. Pipe A can fill the tank fully in 16 hours and Pipe B can fill the tank fully in

24 hours.

Pipe A and Pipe B run together for 8 hours. Thereafter Pipe A was shut and Pipe B alone was

used. How

many hours more would Pipe B take to fill the tank fully?

a) 3 hours b) 6 hours c) 4hours d) 8 hours (Sol): Pipe A can fill the tank fully in 16 hours. In one hour Pipe A will fill 1/16 of the tank. Similarly Pipe B will fill in one hour 1/24 of the tank. The two pipes run for 8 hours. So in 8 hours Pipe A and Pipe B will fill 1/16 + 1/24) 8 = (5/48) x 8 = 5/6 of the tank. 1/6 of the tank is to be filled in by Pipe B

construction

of a community water tank in uyyuru. Tarun and Company built a huge water tank and fitted it

with three

pipes named Cauvery, Ganga and Godavari . Pipes Ganga, Cauvery and Godavari can fill the

community

water tank in 30 hours, 25 hours and 40 hours respectively. In order to see that all the pipes are

put into

use equally, the Chairman of uyyuru Municipality advised the operator to run the Pipes Ganga,

Cauvery

and Godavari one after the other i.e. each pipe to be run for one hour each. Viz. Ganga will run

for one

hour followed by Cauvery for one hour and Godavari for one hour. Again the cycle will be

repeated like this.

When will the tank be filled fully i.e. during the running of Ganga or Cauvery or Godavari ?

a)Ganga,33rd hour b)Ganga,31st hour c)Cauvery,33rd hourb) d) Cauvery,32nd hour

Solution: Ganga can fill the tank in 30 hours. In one hour it can fill 1/30th part of tank. Cauvery can fill the tank in 25 hours. In one hour it can fill 1/25th part of tank. Godavari can fill the tank in 40 hours. In one hour it can fill 1/40th part of tank. Ganga, Cauvery and Godavari, when they run for one hour each (totally 3 hours) (1/30 + 1/25 + 1/40 ) of the tank will be filled in. = 59/600 of the tank will be filled in three hours So in 30 hours 590/600 of the tank will be filled in. Portion of tank unfilled after 30 hours would be 1 – 590/600 = 1/60 1/60 of the tank will be left unfilled after 30 hours. During 31st hour Ganga is capable of filling 1/30 of the tank. But since 1/30 is greater than that of the remaining tank portion 1/60, Ganga will be filling the tank during 31st hour comfortably. Answer: B) Ganga,31st hour 5.Three types of tea the a,b,c costs Rs. 95/kg,100/kg and70/kg respectively. How many kgs of

8A clock is such that it loses 4 minutes each day. The clock is set right on February 25, 2008 at 2

p.m. How

many minutes should be added to get the right time when the clock shows 9 a.m. on 3rd March,

2008?

a) 9780/359

b) 9340/357

c) 9120/329

d) 8760/269

Let it be like this...

Actual time passed = (6 days * 24 hours) + 19 hours = 163 hours.

given: Clock losses 4 minute in every single day.

(i.e.) In 1440 minutes (24hours * 60 minutes) it losses 4 minutes.

Therefore, the minute hand moves at a slightly slower manner.

That is, the speed of minute hand can be expressed as 1436/1440 fractional part of one minute.

Actual time elapsed is just the reciprocal of it. (i.e.) 1440/1436

Thus in the given time of 163 hours, the actual time elapsed

= 163 (hours) * 60 (minutes) * 1440/1436 (minutes hand)

But due to loss in time, the time elapsed by clock is different and = 163*60

Now calculate the difference = (163*60*1440/1436) - (163*60) = 9780/359

Hope you are clear now...

charged Rs.9. The limit of concession per passenger is :

a)100 gms

b)500 gms

c)48 gms

d)60 gms

If x kg. Is the luggage of the first, luggage of the second = (5-x)kg.

If y kg. Of the luggage is allowed to each free of cost and if z rupees/kg be the charge for the

excess

luggage, then

(x-y)z = 5;

(5-x-y)z = 3 and (5-y)z = 9

Solving, x = 3, y = ½, z = 2

Hence, the answer is ½ kg = 500 gms. Option (b)

12 A man decides to buy a nice horse. He pays $60 for it, and he is very content with the strong

animal.

After a year, the value of the horse has increased to $70 and he decides to sell the horse. But

already a few

days later he regrets his decision to sell the beautiful horse, and he buys it again. Unfortunately

he has to

pay $80 to get it back, so he loses $10. After another year of owning the horse, he finally decides

to sell the

horse for $90. What is the overall profit the man makes?

Answer

Consider the trade-story as if it describes two separate trades, where: In the first trade, the man

buys

something for $60 and sells it again for $70, so he makes a profit of $10. In the second trade, the

man buys

something for $80 and sells it again for $90, so he makes again a profit of $10.

Conclusion: The man makes an overall profit of $10 + $10 = $20.

You can also look at the problem as follows:

The total expenses are $60 + $80 = $140 and the total earnings are $70 + $90 = $160. The

overall profit is

therefore $160 - $140 = $20.

13.The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the

positions of

its digits is 36. What is the difference between the two digits of that number?

The difference between the two digits of that number is 4. Explanation: Let the ten's digit be x

and unit's

digit be y. Then, (10x+y)-(10y+x) = 36 i.e. 9(x-y) = 36 and that results to x-y = 4.

15.A light bulb is hanging in a room. Outside of the room there are three switches, of which only

one is

connected to the lamp. In the starting situation, all switches are off and the bulb is not lit. If it is

allowed to

check in the room only once to see if the bulb is lit or not (this is not visible from the outside),

how can you

determine with which of the three switches the light bulb can be switched on?

To find the correct switch (1, 2 or 3), turn switch 1 to ON and leave it like that for a few minutes.

After that

you turn switch 1 back to OFF, and turn switch 2 to ON. Now enter the room. If the light bulb is

lit, then you

know that switch 2 is connected to it. If the bulb is not lit, then it has to be switch 1 or 3. Now

touching the

light bulb will give you the answer. If the bulb is still hot, then switch 1 is connected to the bulb;

if the bulb is

cold, then it has to be switch 3.
