Answers with Explanations
  1. (d) Hollow sections such as cups, toothpaste containers are made by impact extrusion. It is a variation of indirect extrusion. Hollow sections such as cups, toothpaste containers are made by impact extrusion. It is a variation of indirect extrusion.
  2. (c) Cutting speed = πDn/1000, D in mm, n in rpm
  3. (a) This quick return mechanism is mostly used in shaping machines, slotting machines and rotary internal combustion engines.
  4. (a) Hollow sections such as cups, toothpaste containers are made by impact extrusion. It is a variation of indirect extrusion.
  5. (d) Aluminium oxide or zirconia alumina is used for grinding steels and steel alloys. For grinding cast iron, non-ferrous metals and non-metallic materials, select a silicon carbide abrasive.
  6. (a) Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a manufacturing process whereby a desired shape is obtained by using electrical discharges (sparks). In EDM a fluid is used to act as a dielectric and to help carry away debris. Quite often kerosene-based oil is used as dielectric in EDM.
  7. (c) For the preparation of the pattern for every casting to be made, molten wax is used as the pattern material, which is injected under the pressure of about 2.5 MPa into a metallic die, which has the cavity of the casting to be made. After the solidification of wax, it would produce the pattern.
  8. (a) A flux coating is a layer of a chemical that acts as a cleaning agent, a purifying agent, or a flowing agent. It protects the weld pool and solid metal from atmospheric contamination and helps in removing impurities from the weld pool.

  9. (b) Casting is is a process in which liquefied material, such as molten metal, is poured into the cavity of a specially designed mould and allowed to harden. Casting is typically used to create intricate solid shapes of having many details, and cast products are found in a wide range of applications, including automotive components, aerospace parts, electronics, mechanical devices, and construction supplies.
  10. (d) The size of the shaper is specified by the maximum length of stroke or cut it makes. The maximum stroke length of the shaper is 900 mm.

Mechanics of Fluids (Solved Numerical Problems)

Numerical The surface Tension of water in contact with air at 20°C is 0.0725 N/m. The pressure inside a droplet of water is to be 0.02 N/cm² greater than the outside pressure. Calculate the diameter of the droplet of water. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Solution Surface tension, σ = 0.0725 N/m Pressure intensity, P = 0.02 N/m 2 P = 4σ/d Hence, the Diameter of the dropd = 4 x 0.0725/200 = 1.45 mm Numerical Find the surface tension in a soap bubble of 40 mm diameter when the inside pressure is 2.5 N/m² above atmospheric pressure.

Design of Electrical Systems (Solved Numerical Problems)

Important note There is something wrong with this question paper. It seems that instead of "Design of Electrical Systems" the IEI has given problems from "Electrical Machines". You should raise a complaint to director_eea@ieindia.org in this regard. Numerical A 120 V DC shunt motor draws a current of 200A. The armature resistance is 0.02 ohms and the shunt field resistance is 30 ohms. Find back emf. If the lap wound armature has 90 slots with 4 conductors per slots, at what speed will the motor run when flux per pole is 0.04 Wb?​ (AMIE Summer 2023, 8 marks) Solution The back EMF (E b ) of a DC motor can be calculated using the formula: E b = V - I a R a   Given: V = 120 V I a = 200 A R a = 0.02 ohms Substituting the values into the formula: E b = 120 − 200 × 0.02 = 120 − 4​ = 116 V Now, let's calculate the speed (N) at which the motor will run using the given flux per pole (φ p ). The formula to calculate the speed of a DC motor is: N = 60×E b /(P×φ p ) Wh...
