  1. Rankine efficiency of a steam power plant

  2. A.

     improves in summer as compared to that in winter

    B.

     improves in winter as compared to that in summer

    C.

     is unaffected by climatic conditions

    D.

     none of the above


  3. The artificial draught normally is designed to produce

  4. A.

     less smoke

    B.

     more draught

    C.

     less chimney gas temperature

    D.

     all of the above


  5. In a boiler installation the natural draught is produced

  6. A.

     due to the fact that furnace gases being light go through the chimney giving place to cold air from outside to rush in

    B.

     due to the fact that pressure at the grate due to cold column is higher than the pressure at the chimney base due to hot column

    C.

     due to the fact that at the chimney top the pressure is more than its environmental pressure

    D.

     all of the above


  7. In a regenerative feed heating cycle, the greatest economy is affected

  8. A.

     when steam is extracted from only one suitable point of steam turbine

    B.

     when steam is extracted from several places in different stages of steam turbine

    C.

     when steam is extracted only from the last stage of steam turbine

    D.

     when steam is extracted only from the first stage of steam turbine


  9. In jet type condensers

  10. A.

     cooling water passes through tubes and steam surrounds them

    B.

     steam passes through tubes and cooling water surrounds them

    C.

     steam and cooling water mix

    D.

     steam and cooling water do not mix


  11. In De Laval steam turbine

  12. A.

     the pressure in the turbine rotor is approximately same as in condenser

    B.

     the pressure in the turbine rotor is higher than pressure in the condenser

    C.

     the pressure in the turbine rotor gradually decreases from inlet to exit from condenser

    D.

     none from the above


  13. The draught produced by chimney of given height at given outside temperature

  14. A.

     decreases if the chimney gas temperature increases

    B.

     increases if the chimney gas temperature increases

     power

    D.

     none of the above


  17. Compounding of steam turbine is done for

  18. A.

     reducing the work done

    B.

     increasing the rotor speed

    C.

     reducing the rotor speed

    D.

     balancing the turbine


  19. In Rankine cycle the work output from the turbine is given by

  20. A.
