The common soldering method used for soldering circuit components to their boards is known as:

1. WAVE soldering
2. Reflow soldering
3. Furnace soldering
4. Infrared soldering

Answer:

WAVE soldering

Hint:

Wave soldering is a large-scale soldering process by which electronic components are soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB) to form an electronic assembly. The name is derived from the use of waves of molten solder to attach metal components to the PCB.

Re-flow soldering is a process in which a solder paste (a sticky mixture of powdered solder and flux) is used to temporarily attach one or several electrical components to their contact pads, after which the entire assembly is subjected to controlled heat, which melts the solder, permanently connecting the joint.

Infrared Soldering by soldering individual joints with a hot air pencil.

The heat generated in metal cutting is dissipated in different proportions in to environment, tool, chip and work piece. The correct order of this proportion in descending magnitude is (no cutting fluid is used):

1. Tool, work, chip, environment
2. Work, tool, chip, environment
3. Tool, chip, environment, work
4. Chip, tool, work, environment

Answer:

Chip, tool, work, environment

Hint:

The maximum temperature in the cutting zone occurs not at the tool tip but at some distance further up the rake face. Material at a point (Chip) gets heated as it passes through the shear zone and finally leaves the chip. The point at built up edge, heating continues beyond the shear plane into the frictional heat region. So tool is the next highest absorbing medium. The point nearer to work their temperature rises merely due to conduction of heat into the work piece.

Flatness of slip gauges is checked with:

1. Optical flat
2. Electronic comparator
3. Interferometer
4. Linear measuring machine

Answer:

Electronic comparator

Hint:

For flatness measurement of surfaces the easiest and best way to test is with an optical flat. Normally Slip gauges and angular measuring instruments are used for accurate measurements of flatness in surface. Here the work piece and Optical flats are hold each other and a monochromatic lights are passed in between the gap. If the light bands visible then the surfaces are not in perfect contact.

In this question flatness of slip gauge are checked. So we need a high precisioned electronic comparator to check the flatness surface in slip gauges.

Interferometers are non contact type flatness measurement of surfaces such as thin, transparent wafers, substrates and windows.

The flatness of a machine bed can be measured using:

1. Auto collimator
2. Vernier calipers
3. Height gauge
4. Tool maker’s microscope

Answer:

Height gauge

Hint:

Flatness is can be measured using a height gauge run across the surface of the part if only the reference feature is held parallel.

Autocollimator is an optical instrument which is used to measure small angles with very high sensitivity. Normally straightness measured with autocollimator.

Tool maker’s microscope used for length, angle, Thread, and straightness measurements.

In a turbulent boundary layer over the entire length of a plate, the boundary layer thickness increase with its distances ‘X’ from the leading edge is:

1. X^1/2
2. X^1/5
3. X^2/5
4. X^4/5

Answer:

X^4/5

Hint:

ρ α X ^ᴧ (1 / 2)

When the fluid flows this cohesive force along with adhesion shows itself in the macroscopic scale as viscosity. As the flow proceeds downstream of the flat plate the viscosity is able to slow down more and more fluid layers above the flat plate. This is what is called momentum transfer. And hence the boundary layer thickness increases as the fluid moves downstream.

The continuity equation (du/dx)+ (dv/dy)=0 is valid for:

1. Ideal fluid flow only
2. In-compressible fluids, the flow may be steady (or) unsteady
3. Steady flow, the flow may be compressible (or) in-compressible
4. In-compressible fluids and steady flow

Answer:

In-compressible fluids, the flow may be steady (or) unsteady

Hint:

In-compressible flow means  du/dx+dv/dy=0, Some time du/dx = 0 and dv/dy = 0. So the flow may be steady or unsteady.
