COREN Mechanical Practice Questions - COREN Mechanical Engineering Practice Exam (Nigeria) Exam - COREN Mechanical Practice Questions - COREN Mechanical Engineering Practice Exam (Nigeria) Exam

Question 1

In a steam power plant operating on the ideal Rankine cycle, what is the effect of superheating the steam to a higher temperature before it enters the turbine?

It increases the moisture content of the steam at the turbine exit. It increases the net work output and the thermal efficiency of the cycle while decreasing turbine blade erosion. It reduces the heat input required in the boiler. It increases the pressure drop across the condenser.

Correct Answer:

It increases the net work output and the thermal efficiency of the cycle while decreasing turbine blade erosion.

Question 2

Which of the following processes represents the polytropic index n = 0 in the general thermodynamic process equation pV^n = C?

Isobaric process Isochoric process Isothermal process Isentropic process

Correct Answer:

Isobaric process

Question 3

How does regenerative feed heating improve the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant operating on the Rankine cycle?

By reducing the maximum cycle temperature in the boiler By increasing the heat rejected in the condenser By preheating the feed water using steam extracted from the turbine, thereby reducing the boiler heat addition for that water By increasing the pressure drop across the turbine stages

Correct Answer:

By preheating the feed water using steam extracted from the turbine, thereby reducing the boiler heat addition for that water

Question 4

In a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant, what is the primary function of the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG)?

To compress the air before it enters the combustion chamber of the gas turbine To condense the exhaust steam from the steam turbine using cooling water To capture the high-temperature exhaust heat from the gas turbine and use it to generate steam for the steam turbine cycle To reheat the steam between the high-pressure and low-pressure stages of the steam turbine

Correct Answer:

To capture the high-temperature exhaust heat from the gas turbine and use it to generate steam for the steam turbine cycle

Question 5

Under Fourier's law of heat conduction, what does the negative sign in the equation q = -k A (dT/dx) physically represent?

That thermal conductivity decreases with temperature That heat flows in the direction of decreasing temperature (from hot to cold) That the temperature gradient is always positive That the rate of heat transfer is negative in a steady state

Correct Answer:

That heat flows in the direction of decreasing temperature (from hot to cold)
