51.    During temperature changing conditions, quite appreciable difference, occurs be tween the -true-temperature and the measured temperature because of the time required for the transfer of heat through thermometer pockets (thermowells) to thermometer sensing element. This time lag is of the order of :
(a)     0.1 to 1 sec
(b)     1 to 2.5 sec
(c)    2.5 to 10 or 20 sec
(d)    25 to 100 sec
(e)    100 to 500 sec.
Ans: c

52.    Pick up false statement:
(a)    copper-constantan thermocouple is a stable couple resistant to both oxidis¬ing and reducing atmosphere, but needs protection from acidic vapours
(b)    Iron-constantan thermocouple suffers from oxidation attack on iron wire, if exposed
(c)    iron-constantant couple can be made stable by using enamelled iron
(d)    Both wires of chromel-alumel ther-mocouples are prone to damage by sulphurous gases
(e)    copper-constantan thermocouple is used as a reference standard for calibration purposes.
Ans: e

53.    Automatic cold junction compensation in thermocouple is provided by :
(a)    connecting thermocouple wires, in op-position
(b)    a nickel wire resistance in series with a manganin resistance

(a)     copper
(b)     nickel
(c)     platinum
(d)     any one of above
(e)     none of above.

55.    To prevent self-heating errors becoming too great, the current through platinum element (100 ohm) is kept at a very small value :
(a)     0.1 raA

(e)    none of the above.
Ans: d

57.    Pick up correct statement about calibration of temperature sensors by comparison method using liquid bath :
(a)    water is used for temperatures from 0 to I00°C
(b)    special grade of paraffin oil is used for temperatures between 100 and 200°C
(c)    For temperature between 200 and 600°C, a mixture of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate is used
(d)    all of above are true
(e)    none of above is true.
Ans: d

58.    Local velocity is measured by a :
(a)     pitot tube   
(b)     venturi tube
(c)    orifice plate
(d)    vena contracta device
(e)    nozzle.

(b)    D (pipe diameter) upstream and D/2 downstream
(c)    just at surface of orifice plate
(d)    2.5 D upstream and 8 D downstream
(e)    any one of the above.
Ans: a
