Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
Which of the following represents liquid manometer?
Zero order system
First order system
Second order system
Third order system
Explanation:
From the transfer function of a liquid manometer it is clear that it is a second order system.
Question 2
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
What is the equivalent pressure in Pascal for 1atm pressure?
101.3 Pa
101.3 KPa
50.4 Pa
50.4 Kpa
Explanation:
Pascal and atm are two different units used to indicate pressure values.
Question 3
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 43%
What is the analogous quantity of current in the fluidic system?
Flow rate
Pressure
Viscosity
Density
Explanation:
Flow rate of a fluid in a path is analogous to current flow in a conductor and both can be treated as analogous quantities.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
In laminar flow pressure changes are maximum.
True
False
Explanation:
A liquid is said to be in laminar flow if its pressure changes are minimum, otherwise it is said to be in turbulent flow.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
Which of the following device cannot be used for measuring the pressure of a liquid?
Diaphragm
Bellow
Bourdon tube
pH meter
Explanation:
pH meter is used for measuring pH value of a liquid, all other devices are used for measuring pressure.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
Which of the following is not a scalar quantity?
Pressure
Density
Force
Viscosity
Explanation:
Force is a vector quantity and all other mentioned quantities are scalar quantities, which have magnitude only.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
What is the advantage of the pneumatic system over the hydraulic system?
Gases provide low compressibility
Gases provide high compressibility
Liquid shows high compressibility
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
The advantage of pneumatic system is that gases show high compressibility which uses minimum space for a volume same as hydraulic system.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
Which of the following represents liquid manometer?
Un-damped system
Under damped system
Critically damped system
Over damped system
Explanation:
Value of damping factor in liquid manometer is far below one and the system represents under damped system.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
Which of the following is used to represent a difference in pressure between absolute zero and atmospheric pressure?
Absolute pressure
Gauge pressure
Differential pressure
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Difference in pressure between absolute zero and local atmospheric pressure is known as gauge pressure, whereas differential pressure is the difference of pressure between two medium.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 14%
Which of the following represents hydraulic capacitance of manometer?
ϱΔV/ΔP
ΔV/ΔP
ϱΔP/ΔV
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
ΔV is the incremental change in volume and ΔP is the incremental change in pressure.
