1.a) Explain in brief how heating is done in the following cases:


TU
i) Resistance heating ii) Induction heating iii) Dielectric heating
b) At full load of 10 h.p, the temperature rise of a motor is 250C after one hour, and
400C after 2 hours. Find the final temperature rise on full load. Assume that the iron losses
are 80% of full load copper losses. [9+6]
H
2.a) What are the advantages of electrically produced heat? What are the properties to be
possessed by the element used in resistance oven?
U
b) A piece of an insulating material is to be heated by dielectric heating. The size of the piece
is 10×10×3 cm. A frequency of 20 Megacycles/sec is used and the power absorbed is
se
400W. Calculate the voltage necessary for heating and the current that flows in the
material. The material has a relative permittivity of 5 and a power factor of 0.05. [8+7]
d
3.a) Describe briefly the various types of arc welding processes used in industry.
b) A 40 kW, 3-phase, 400 volts resistance oven is to employ Ni-Cr strip of 0.3 mm thickness.
The heating elements are star connected. If the wire temperature is to be 11270C and that
Pa
of charge is to be 7270C, estimate the suitable width and length of the wire required.
Radiation efficiency = 0.6, Specific resistance of Ni-Cr = 1.03 × 10-6 ohm-m.
Emissivity = 0.9. [8+7]
pe
4.a) Explain the principle of electrolysis.
b) Write a short notes on electromagnetic stirs. [8+7]
rs

illumination of 120 lux. Taking utilization of 0.5, depreciation of 1.4, determine the
number of fluorescent lamps required, their spacing, mounting height and total wattage.
Take luminous efficiency of fluorescent tube of 40 lumens/watt for 80 watt tubes. [8+7]

6. Give the construction and working of the following types of lamps:


a) Mercury Vapour lamp
b) Sodium Vapour lamp [8+7]
7.a) For a trapezoidal speed-time curve of an electric train, derive expression for maximum
speed and distance between stops.
b) A mail is to be run between two stations 5kms apart at an average speed of 50km/hr. If the
maximum speed is to be limited to 70km/hr, acceleration to 2km/hr/sec, braking retardation
to 4km/hr/sec and coasting retardation to 0.1km/hr/sec, determine the speed at the end of
coasting, duration of coasting period and braking period. [8+7]
JN
8.a) Compare single battery system with double battery parallel block system.
