ANS:C - profound

No answer description is available. 

ANS:B - False

FALSE, The macro is case insensitive.

ANS:A - a little large to specified size

It Should have a tolerance of approximately 5%. Because the size of mould is kept to be 8-12% greater than the actual size of brick. I think 8-10% of size of mould greater than size of brick because shrink the size of brick after dry. So as to allow space for the soil to expand in volume.

ANS:C - 1.414 A

ANS:A - 100

Wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures become identical at 100 percent saturation curve. At 100 percent saturation curve, the air is fully saturated with water vapor, meaning it cannot hold any more moisture at the given temperature and pressure. In this condition, the wet bulb temperature, which represents the temperature measured with a thermometer covered with a wet cloth, is equal to the dry bulb temperature, which represents the temperature measured with a standard thermometer. Therefore, at 100 percent saturation curve, the wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures are identical.

ANS:A - centrifugal

Maintenance cost of a centrifugal pump for a particular duty is typically the least compared to reciprocating, volute, or gear pumps.

Explanation:

1. Centrifugal Pumps:
   • Centrifugal pumps are widely used in various industries due to their simplicity in design, ease of operation, and lower maintenance requirements compared to other types of pumps.
   • They have fewer moving parts (typically an impeller and a shaft) compared to reciprocating pumps and gear pumps, which reduces the complexity of maintenance and decreases the likelihood of mechanical failure.
2. Reciprocating Pumps:
   • Reciprocating pumps have more components, including pistons, valves, and seals, which require more frequent maintenance and replacement. They are often used for specific applications where high pressure or metered flow rates are required.
3. Volute Pumps:
   • Volute pumps refer to centrifugal pumps with a volute casing design. Their maintenance costs can vary depending on the specific design and application, but generally, centrifugal pumps with volute casings share similar maintenance characteristics with standard centrifugal pumps.
4. Gear Pumps:
   • Gear pumps involve gears meshing together to pump fluids. They are robust and suitable for high-pressure applications, but they may have higher maintenance costs due to the wear and tear on gear teeth and seals.

Factors Affecting Maintenance Cost:

• Complexity of Design: Pumps with simpler designs typically have lower maintenance costs.
• Number of Moving Parts: More moving parts usually mean higher maintenance requirements.
• Operating Conditions: Pumps operating under harsh conditions (high pressures, corrosive fluids) may require more frequent maintenance.
