Q6. Figure shows the schematic for the measurement of velocity of air (density = 1.2kg /m3 ) through a constant–area duct using a pitot tube and a water-tube manometer. The differential head of water (density = 1000 kg /m3) in the two columns of the manometer is 10mm. Take acceleration due to gravity as 9.8m / s2. The velocity of air in m/s is 

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

 From Bernoulli’s equation


Q7. A matrix has eigenvalues –1 and –2. The corresponding eigenvectors are  respectively. The matrix is 
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q8. A double – parallelogram mechanism is shown in the figure. Note that PQ is a single link. The mobility of the mechanism is 

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q9. The values of enthalpy of steam at the inlet and outlet of a steam turbine in a Rankine cycle are 2800kJ/kg and 1800kJ/kg respectively. Neglecting pump work, the specific steam consumption in kg/kW-hour is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Work done by the turbine
W = 2800 – 1800 = 1000 kJ/kg = 1000 kW-s/kg
Specific fuel consumption = (1/1000)×3600 = 3.6 kg / kw-hr
