Q ) EXPLAIN THE WORKING OF AN ENRAF LEVEL GAUGE?

ANS -Enraf level gauge is based on the SER powered null balance technique. A displacer serves as continuous level sensing element. A two phase ser motor controlled by a capacitive balance system winds unwinds the the measuring wire until the tension in the weight springs is in balance with the weight of the displaced part immersed in the liquid. The sensing system in balance measures the two capacitance formed by the moving central sensing rod p...

WHY ATTEMPERATION IS REQUIRED IN BOILERS ?

ANS - One of the methods used to control the final steam temperature in a packaged boiler is interstage attemperation.In this method,feed water of demineralized quality(having nearly the same TDS as the final steam)is injected in between two stages of a superheater system as shown above.Generally in a convective type of superheater design,the uncontrolled final steam temperature decreases as the load decreases,while with a radiant superheater system,t...

what is the difference between the 2 wire level transmitter and 4 wire level transmitter?

Ans - In case of 4 wire transmitter, 2 wire is used to give power to the transmitter and other 2 wire to transmit the signal. In case of 2 wire , the 2 wire carries the power as well as the signal. Example- 4 to 20 mA is flowing through the 2 wire and according to level the current is changing.

Why would an Engineer sometimes consider combining FEEDBACK and 
FEED FORWARD control in some applications?

ANS -  In some applications, the compensation provided by feedback control is not sufficient & accurate .Also, the feed forward control is faster but it is difficult to predict all the manipulated variables.Hence a combination of both is  used.

CALCULATION OF EVAPORATION LOSSES (1000 M3/HR):

Latent heat of evaporation is 540.5 k.cal./kg of water say 550 k.cal./kg. Heat load = m x cp x (th – tc ) Where cp = specific heat of water = 1 ...

Ans-

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:

All the cooling towers are working on the principle of water evaporation. On evaporation of water, both heat and mass transfer takes place, and water gets cooled. Rate of evaporation is increased by increasing air velocity. In case of cooling tower we call this an air draft. This air draft is crea...

Answer- 

split range control is which the output of a controller is 
split to two or more control valves. For eg,
For 0% controller output,valve A fully open & B fully 
closed.
For 25%, Valve A 75% open,B 25% open
For 50%, Valve A& B- 50% open,
For 75%, Valve A 25%open, B-75%open..
For 100%, Valve A fully closed & valve B Fully Open..

Like this, the controller output action can be set depending 
upon the application.

as well as in split range control the control signal is split in two 
ran...

ANS- BOILER EFFICIENCY:Ratio between heat output and heat input,

it's called boiler efficiency.



FORMULA FOR BOILER 
EFFICIENCY:
                    Q*(H-h)/q*GCV
 
Q       : Quantity of steam (kg/hr)
q       : quantity of coal consumption(kg/hr)
H       : Enthalpy of steam(Kcal/hr)
h       : Enthalpy of fead water(Kcal/hr)
GCV     : Gross calorific value of coal

WHAT IS ZERO SUPPRESSION & ZERO ELEVATION ? 
 
Answer -- Zero Suppression: suppose a DPT is mounted at the bottom of

the tank through an impulse pipeline,then even if the tank 
is empty the impulse pipeline will have some water in it.
This water will exert pressure on the HP side of the DPT 
and we will get some output even if the tank is empty.so 
the output need to be supressed to the zero value

Zero Elevation:suppose a DPT is mounted at the bottom of 
the closed tank and to the LP the impul...

1. Can you operate a control valve without a I to P converter ?

Answer- Yes , we can operate cv without I/P converter,just we have to adjust the regulator output air pressure according to I/P rated output by adjusting the knob of regulator correspondingly kg f/cm2 to 1.02 kg f/cm2 manually. the output of regulator should go to the input of mechanical positioner,supply pressure should remain as per cv characteristic and the output from the mechanical positioner should go to diaphragm of control...

1. What do you mean by instrument potential barriers,How many types are there?

Answer- Instrument Potential barrier is the energy inserted in order to go against the passage of electron.

Electric transport in sputtered LiNbO₃ (LN) films sandwiched between TiN and Si electrodes revealed Schottky emission at low electric field and Poole-Frenkel conduction at higher electric field without any hysteresis. The Poole-Frenkel conduction region was brought into the reproducible potential barrier-contro...

1. WHAT IS THE WORKING PRINCIPLE OF HYDRA STEP (DRUM LEVEL INDICATOR).

Answer - Its works on the principle of resistivity. The discrimination between water & steam is based on the significant difference in resistivity between the two states over the saturation range.when a voltage applied to the tip,conduction takes place between tip and inside wall of column.when the resistance of probe is less than 100K its represents the water % in drum and if it is greater than 100K its represents the % st...
