(019) How much power would be used to move a 15 lb valve housing 10 feet in 5 minutes?
- A.
  
  15 foot-pounds/minute
- B.
  
  30 foot-pounds/minute
- C.
  
  150 foot-pounds/minute
- D.
  
  300 foot-pounds/minute
Correct Answer
B. 30 foot-pounds/minute

Explanation
To calculate the power used to move the valve housing, we need to use the formula: Power = Work/Time. The work done is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance moved. In this case, the force applied is the weight of the valve housing, which is 15 lb, and the distance moved is 10 feet. So, the work done is 15 lb * 10 feet = 150 foot-pounds. The time taken is 5 minutes. Therefore, the power used is 150 foot-pounds / 5 minutes = 30 foot-pounds/minute.

- A.
  
  Work / time
- B.
  
  Work X time
- C.
  
  Distance / time
- D.
  
  Distance X time
Correct Answer
A. Work / time

Explanation
The formula to determine power is work divided by time. Power is a measure of how quickly work is done or energy is transferred. It is calculated by dividing the amount of work done by the time it takes to do it. This formula allows us to quantify the rate at which work is being done or energy is being transferred.

(019) What type of drive would use two turbine fans that face each other?
- A.
  
  Flexible drive
- B.
  
  Direct drive
- C.
  
  Fluid drive
- D.
  
  Fan drive
Correct Answer
C. Fluid drive

Explanation
A fluid drive is a type of drive that uses two turbine fans that face each other. This type of drive relies on the transfer of power through a fluid medium, usually hydraulic oil or transmission fluid. The two turbine fans create a torque converter effect, allowing for smooth and efficient power transmission between the engine and the driven components. This design is commonly used in applications where variable speed control and torque multiplication are required, such as in industrial machinery and automotive transmissions.

(020) What are the four main properties that affect liquids?
- A.
  
  Temperature, molecular attraction, gravity and expansion
- B.
  
  Weight, pressure, viscosity and temperature
- C.
  
  Pressure, temperature, vacuum and gravity
- D.
  
  Weight, gravity, heat and viscosity
Correct Answer
B. Weight, pressure, viscosity and temperature

Explanation
The four main properties that affect liquids are weight, pressure, viscosity, and temperature. Weight refers to the force exerted by gravity on the liquid, affecting its behavior and movement. Pressure is the force applied to the liquid's surface, which can influence its flow and behavior. Viscosity is a measure of a liquid's resistance to flow, with thicker liquids having higher viscosity. Temperature affects the kinetic energy of the liquid's molecules, causing expansion or contraction and influencing its behavior.

(020) An increase in temperature causes viscous liquids to flow
- A.
  
  Faster and increase in weight
- B.
  
  Faster and decrease in weight
- C.
  
  Slower and increase in weight
- D.
  
  Slower and decrease in weight
Correct Answer
A. Faster and increase in weight

Explanation
An increase in temperature causes viscous liquids to flow faster because the increase in temperature leads to a decrease in the viscosity of the liquid. As the temperature rises, the molecules in the liquid gain energy and move more freely, reducing the resistance to flow. Additionally, an increase in weight can occur because some liquids expand when heated, causing an increase in their mass.

(020) Using pascals principle, determine the pressure exerted in a 10-inch cylinder when a connected 1-inch cylinder has 15 pounds per square inch (psi) applied to it?
- A.
  
  10 psi
- B.
  
  15 psi
- C.
  
  150 psi
- D.
  
  300 psi
Correct Answer
B. 15 psi

Explanation
According to Pascal's principle, the pressure exerted in a fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. In this scenario, the 1-inch cylinder has 15 psi applied to it. Since the cylinders are connected, the pressure will be transmitted to the 10-inch cylinder. Therefore, the pressure exerted in the 10-inch cylinder will also be 15 psi.

(021) What is the formula for finding the static pressure exerted on the bottom of a fuel tank?
- A.
  
  Depth X .344 X specific gravity
- B.
  
  Depth X .433 X specific gravity
- C.
  
  Depth X .344 / specific gravity
- D.
  
  Depth X .433 / specific gravity
Correct Answer
B. Depth X .433 X specific gravity

Explanation
The formula for finding the static pressure exerted on the bottom of a fuel tank is Depth X .433 X specific gravity. This formula takes into account the depth of the fuel in the tank, multiplied by a constant value of .433, and then multiplied by the specific gravity of the fuel. This calculation helps to determine the amount of pressure that is being exerted on the bottom of the tank due to the weight of the fuel.

(022) Which of the following units of measurement would indicate volume of flow?
- A.
  
  Barrels per hour
- B.
  
  Meters per hour
- C.
  
  Feet per minute
- D.
  
  Inches per second
Correct Answer
A. Barrels per hour

Explanation
Barrels per hour would indicate volume of flow because barrels is a unit of volume and hour is a unit of time. By measuring the flow in barrels per hour, we can determine the amount of volume that is flowing within a specific time frame.

(022) Which of the following units of measurement would indicate velocity of flow?
- A.
  
  Feet per second
- B.
  
  Gallons per minute
- C.
  
  Cubic feet per second
- D.
  
  Cubic gallons per minute
Correct Answer
A. Feet per second

Explanation
The unit of measurement that indicates velocity of flow is feet per second. This unit measures the distance traveled in feet divided by the time taken in seconds, giving the speed at which the flow is moving. Gallons per minute measures the volume of flow, not the velocity. Cubic feet per second also measures the volume of flow, but in a different unit. Cubic gallons per minute is not a valid unit of measurement.

(022) Laminar flow usually occurs in what size pipelines and at what type velocities?
- A.
  
  Large diameter and low velocity
- B.
  
  Small diameter and low velocity
- C.
  
  Large diameter and high velocity
- D.
  
  Small diameter and high velocity
Correct Answer
A. Large diameter and low velocity

Explanation
Laminar flow refers to the smooth and orderly movement of fluid particles in a pipeline. It occurs when the fluid flows at a low velocity and the pipeline has a large diameter. In this case, the fluid particles move in parallel layers without mixing or turbulence. The large diameter allows for less friction between the fluid and the pipeline walls, while the low velocity prevents the fluid from becoming turbulent. Therefore, the correct answer is large diameter and low velocity.
