  • Q1. How to calculate Boiler direct & indirect efficiency ?
  • Ans. 

    Boiler efficiency can be calculated by measuring the heat input and heat output of the boiler.

    • Calculate the heat input by measuring the fuel flow rate, fuel calorific value, and fuel consumption.

    • Calculate the heat output by measuring the steam flow rate and steam enthalpy.

    • Direct efficiency = (Heat output / Heat input) * 100%

    • Indirect efficiency = Direct efficiency * Boiler efficiency of other components (like economizer

  • Q2. What is the process of casting?
  • Ans. 

    Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is poured into a mold, where it solidifies into the desired shape.

    • Melted material is poured into a mold

    • The material solidifies and takes the shape of the mold

    • The mold is then removed to reveal the final product

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. What are cope and drag in the context of casting processes?
  • Ans. 

    Cope and drag are the two halves of a mold used in casting processes to create a cavity for the molten metal.

    • Cope is the top half of the mold, while drag is the bottom half.

    • The cope and drag are typically made from sand and are used to create a cavity in which the molten metal is poured.

    • After the metal has solidified, the cope and drag are separated to reveal the casting.

  • Q4. What are the different types of cylinders?
  • Ans. 

    Different types of cylinders include single-acting, double-acting, telescopic, and impact cylinders.

    • Single-acting cylinders: Operate in one direction using fluid pressure to extend or retract the piston.

    • Double-acting cylinders: Use fluid pressure to extend and retract the piston in both directions.

    • Telescopic cylinders: Consist of multiple nested stages that allow for a longer stroke length in a compact design.

  • Q9. What are the defects associated with the casting process?
  • Ans. 

    Defects in casting process include porosity, shrinkage, cold shuts, misruns, and inclusions.

    • Porosity: air or gas trapped in the casting

    • Shrinkage: volume reduction during solidification

    • Cold shuts: incomplete fusion of molten metal

    • Misruns: incomplete filling of the mold cavity

    • Inclusions: foreign materials trapped in the casting
