- B. empty the boiler when required and to discharge the mud, scale or sediments which are accumulated at the bottom of the boiler
- C. put off fire in the furnace of the boiler when the level of water in the boiler falls to an unsafe limit
- D. increase the temperature of saturated steam without raising its pressure Discuss
- 3. In surface condensers, the condensate and the cooling water mixes up.
Options- A. True
- B. False Discuss
- 4. Which of the following is correct? (where pa = Actual mean effective pressure, pm = Theoretical mean effective pressure, and K = Diagram factor)
Options- A. pa = pm/K

- C. pa = K/pm
- D. pa = pm + K Discuss
- 5. The difference between the atmospheric pressure and the absolute pressure is known as vacuum in a condenser.
Options- A. Agree
- B. Disagree Discuss
- 6. A valve installed between the boiler and the feed pump is
Options- A. blow off cock
- B. feed check valve
- C. steam stop valve
- D. none of these Discuss
- 7. The draught in locomotive boilers is produced by a
Options- A. chimney
- B. centrifugal fan
- C. steam jet
- D. none of these Discuss
- 8. The ratio of the energy required to produce the artificial draught (expressed in metres head or J/kg of flue gas) to the mechanical equivalent of extra heat carried away per kg of flue gases due to natural draught, is known as
Options- A. efficiency of the boiler
- B. efficiency of the chimney
- C. efficiency of the fan
- D. power of the boiler Discuss
- 9. Which of the following statement is correct?
Options- A. A horizontal steam engine requires less floor area than a vertical steam engine.
- B. The steam pressure in the cylinder is not allowed to fall below the atmospheric pressure.
- C. The compound steam engines are generally non-condensing steam engines.
- D. all of the above Discuss
- 10. A condenser maintains a low pressure (below atmospheric) so as to obtain the maximum possible energy from steam and thus to secure a high efficiency.
Options- A. Agree
- B. Disagree Discuss
