Answers

1. (d) As of 2018, CO₂ constitutes about 0.041% by volume of the atmosphere, (equal to 410 ppm).

2. (b)

Pasquill Stability Classes
  • A: Extremely unstable conditions
  • B: Moderately unstable conditions
  • C: Slightly unstable conditions
  • D: Neutral conditions
  • E: Slightly stable conditions
  • F: Moderately stable conditions
  • G: Extremely Stable
3. (d) The gases which are transparent to solar radiation but retain and partially reflect back long-wave heat radiations are called greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are essential for keeping the earth warm and hospitable. The various greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (warming effect 60%), methane (warming effect 20%), chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs (warming effect 14 percent) and nitrous oxide (warming effect 6 percent). Other gases of minor importance are water vapour and ozone.

4. Wrong question. Data is missing.

5. (d) 

DO = [QsDOs + QRDOR]/[QS + QR]

Where

QS and QR is flow of water in stream and river respectively

(DO)S and (D)R is dissolved oxygen in stream and river respectively

Hence, 5 = [QS x 2 + 300 x 7]/[QS + 300]

⇒ QS = 200 L/s


6. (a) Nitrogen oxides come from car exhaust, coal power plants, and factory emissions. VOCs are released from gasoline, paints, and many cleaning solvents. When sunlight hits these chemicals, they form airborne particles and ground-level ozone—or smog.


7. (c) Cyclones of this type are used primarily to collect coarse particles when  collection efficiency and space requirements are not a major consideration. Collection  efficiency for conventional cyclones on 10 micron particles is generally 50 to 80 percent.


8. (d)


9. (a) Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption is a widespread water treatment technology especially applied in waterworks for removing dissolved organic compounds (natural organic matter, micropollutants).


10. Wrong question

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. (7 marks) (AMIE Summer 2023) Answer: 0.0125 N/m Numerical The pressure outside the droplet of water of diameter 0.04 mm is 10.32 N/cm² (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...
