  • Humor is a powerful memory trigger; the dumber the better.
In AMIE exams these tricks may prove useful.

Adaptive control: Adaptive control is a set of techniques that permit to adjust the value of control parameters in real-time, permitting to monitor controlled variables even if plant parameters are unknown or if they change. This control is a special kind of non-lineal control, and the process can be split into two timelines: rapid time (feedback loop) and slow time (variation of control parameters, which affects automation). What do you understand by the term machinability index? The machinability index is used to compare the machinability of different materials in the various cutting process. It is an attempt to quantify the relative machinability of a different material. What is tack weld? Tack Welding is basically a temporary weld performed during the Fitting of a part. This is done to ensure dimensional stability before actual Welding starts. Normally

What are the major sources of noise in underground mining, highlighting the permissible levels of noise in those? The ambient noise level of the underground mining area is affected by the operation of the cutting machines, tub/conveyor movement and blasting of the coal. The movement of coaling machines and transport units-conveyor, tubs and transfer points caused audible noise which becomes disturbing underground because of the poor absorption by the walls. Classify mine fires. Fires underground can be classified into two broad groups, open and concealed fires. Open fires occur in airways, faces and other openings that form part of the active ventilation system of the mine and, hence, affect the quality of the mine airflows quickly and directly.  As the term might imply, open fires are often accompanied by flaming combustion because of the availability of oxygen and offer the possibility of a direct attack by fire fighting teams. Conversely, concealed fires occur in areas that are diff
