Which of the following systems generate more energy when used in industrial applications?
- A.
  
  Hydraulic systems
- B.
  
  Pneumatic systems
- C.
  
  Both systems generate same energy
- D.
  
  cannot say
Correct Answer
A. Hydraulic systems

Explanation
Hydraulic systems generate more energy when used in industrial applications compared to pneumatic systems. This is because hydraulic systems use incompressible fluids to transmit power, which allows for higher force and torque output. In contrast, pneumatic systems use compressed air, which has lower energy density and cannot generate as much power as hydraulic systems. Therefore, hydraulic systems are more suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications that require higher energy output.

While operating a positive displacement pump,
- A.
  
  The shut-off valve should be closed on delivery side
- B.
  
  The shut-off valve should be closed on suction side
- C.
  
  The shut-off valve should be opened on delivery side
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. The shut-off valve should be opened on delivery side

Explanation
When operating a positive displacement pump, it is necessary to open the shut-off valve on the delivery side. This is because positive displacement pumps work by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and then forcing it into the discharge pipe. By opening the shut-off valve on the delivery side, the pump is able to discharge the fluid and maintain a continuous flow. Closing the shut-off valve on the delivery side would prevent the fluid from being discharged and could cause damage to the pump. Therefore, the correct action is to open the shut-off valve on the delivery side.

The 3/2 D.C. valve is a type of directional control valve that has three ports and two positions. This valve is commonly used in pneumatic systems to control the flow of air. Therefore, the combination of FCV, Air Reservoir, and 3/2 D.C. valve is the most appropriate for a time delay valve.

Heavy lifting work is often accomplished by shifting fluids in big machines. The power system of such machines can be described as
- A.
  
  Reciprocating
- B.
  
  Pneumatic
- C.
  
  Hydraulic
- D.
  
  Hybrid
Correct Answer
C. Hydraulic

Explanation
The correct answer is hydraulic because hydraulic systems use fluids, typically oil, to transmit power and accomplish heavy lifting work. These systems work by applying force to a fluid, which then transfers the force to different parts of the machine, allowing it to perform tasks such as lifting heavy objects. Hydraulic systems are commonly used in construction equipment, such as cranes and excavators, as well as in industrial machinery. They offer high power and precision, making them suitable for heavy lifting work.

The scientific principle that makes hydraulic systems possible is
- A.
  
  Pascal’s principle
- B.
  
  Boyle’s law
- C.
  
  Bernoulli’s principle
- D.
  
  The fluid flow principle
Correct Answer
A. Pascal’s principle

Explanation
Pascal's principle is the scientific principle that makes hydraulic systems possible. This principle states that when pressure is applied to a fluid in a closed system, it is transmitted equally in all directions. In a hydraulic system, this principle allows for the transmission of force through a confined fluid, enabling the amplification of force. By applying a small force to a small piston, for example, a larger force can be generated on a larger piston, allowing for the lifting or moving of heavy objects. Boyle's law, Bernoulli's principle, and the fluid flow principle are not directly related to the functioning of hydraulic systems.

Which of the following reasons make water unsuitable to use as a fluid in hydraulic systems? 1. poor lubrication 2. high viscosity 3. more leakage 4. quickly evaporates
- A.
  
  1 and 3
- B.
  
  2 and 4
- C.
  
  1, 3 and 4
- D.
  
  All the above
Correct Answer
C. 1, 3 and 4

Explanation
Water is unsuitable to use as a fluid in hydraulic systems because it has poor lubrication properties, meaning it does not provide sufficient lubrication to the moving parts of the system. Additionally, water is prone to leakage, which can lead to inefficiencies and potential damage to the system. Lastly, water quickly evaporates, which can result in a loss of fluid and a decrease in system performance. Therefore, options 1, 3, and 4 are the correct reasons that make water unsuitable for use in hydraulic systems.

Which of the following statements are true? 1. low viscosity fluids have higher leakage 2. high viscosity fluids have high pressure drop 3. low viscosity fluids consume more power 4. low viscosity leads to wear of components
- A.
  
  1 and 2
- B.
  
  1, 2 and 3
- C.
  
  1, 2 and 4
- D.
  
  2, 3 and 4
Correct Answer
C. 1, 2 and 4

Explanation
Low viscosity fluids have higher leakage because they can easily flow through small gaps and openings. High viscosity fluids have high pressure drop because they resist flow and create more resistance in the system. Low viscosity fluids can lead to wear of components because they have less lubrication properties and can cause increased friction between moving parts.

In industrial applications hydraulic fluids have viscosity grade ranging from
- A.
  
  20 to 50
- B.
  
  70 to 95
- C.
  
  46 to 68
- D.
  
  15 to 44
Correct Answer
C. 46 to 68

Explanation
In industrial applications, hydraulic fluids need to have a specific viscosity grade to ensure optimal performance. The viscosity grade determines the fluid's resistance to flow, which is crucial for proper lubrication and efficient operation of hydraulic systems. The viscosity grade range of 46 to 68 is commonly used in industrial applications as it provides a balance between low temperature fluidity and high temperature stability. This range allows the fluid to maintain its viscosity and flow characteristics across a wide range of operating temperatures, making it suitable for various industrial environments.

High viscosity fluids have
- A.
  
  low pressure drop
- B.
  
  Less power consumption
- C.
  
  Slow operation
- D.
  
  All the above
Correct Answer
C. Slow operation

Explanation
High viscosity fluids have slow operation because they are thick and resistant to flow. The high resistance to flow results in slower movement of the fluid through pipes or channels, causing the overall operation to be slower compared to fluids with lower viscosity.

What is viscosity index?
- A.
  
  Effect of pressure on changes in viscosity
- B.
  
  Effect of temperature on changes in viscosity
- C.
  
  Effect of resistance between two surfaces
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Effect of temperature on changes in viscosity

Explanation
Viscosity index refers to the measure of how the viscosity of a fluid changes with temperature. It indicates the fluid's resistance to flow at different temperatures. As temperature increases, the viscosity of most fluids decreases, meaning they become less resistant to flow. The viscosity index helps to determine how much the viscosity of a fluid changes with temperature, which is important in various industries, such as automotive and lubricants, where the performance of fluids under different temperature conditions is crucial.
