2) Answers to the two sections should be written in separate books.
3) Neat diagrams must be drawn wherever necessary.
4) Figures to the right indicate full marks.
5) Use of logarithmic tables slide rule, Mollier charts, electronic pocket
calculator and steam tables is allowed.

Q4) a) Explain the working of ultrasonic flow meter stating its merits & demerits.
[8]
b) A copper resistor at 20C is used to indicate the temperature of bearing,
of machine. What resistance should not be exceeded if maximum bearing
temp. is not to exceed 150C. The resistance temperature co-efficient of
copper is 0.00393 /C at 20C.
[8]
SECTION - II
Q5) a) Explain the principle construction and working of temperature measuring
device of a furnace.
[8]
b) A Laser Dopper anemometer employs a He - ne laser , O= 632.8 nm to
measure velocity of flow at a point in a dusty gas. A 160 mm focussing
lens having T = 12 is used to operate LDA in dual beam mode. Find the
velocity of flow if the average Doppler shift in frequency was found to
be 1.62 MHz.

Q6) a) Explain the working double beam - U - V spectrophotometer.

[8]

b) A disc mounted on the shaft of a machine has 12 pattern points. The

number of flashes projected on the disc by a stroboscope is 6000 per
minute.
[8]
i) Find the speed of the machine if the disc appears stationary and
has a single image of 12 points.
ii) If the disc appears to move forward in the direction of rotation at
10 rpm. Find the speed of the disc.
Q7) a) If r = 0.6, N = 64, find probable error of coefficient of correlation and
determine limits of population. r.

[8]

c) A miniature pitot tube is used to measure the velocity of blood and

differential pressure gauge records a pressure of 1 Torr. Take density of
[4]
blood = 1020 kg/m3 Compute the blood velocity.
Q8) Write short notes on any THREE
a) Vibration Measurement Instrument.
