What does the term 'stoichiometric mixture' mean when used in relation to combustion
of hydrocarbon fuels? An ideal mixture of fuel and air in which all of the fuel in the
mixture is consumed during combustion with a minimum of excess air.
An ideal mixture of fuel and air in which all of the fuel and oxygen in the mixture

The diagram shows a thyristor (SCR) with a Resistor and Capacitor (R and C).
The RC network shown, performs which of the following applications? Assist
SCR switch on.
Divert fast voltage spikes which may lead to uncontrolled switch on.
Some vessels have a central hydraulic system consisting of a number of
hydraulic power packs for driving cargo pumps, deck machinery, ship's cranes, etc.
Which parameter is normally used to automatically bring the power packs on and off line
to match operational demand?Number of consumers running (pumps, etc.)
Percentage of available flow.
A compressed air supply system has two automatically controlled air compressors.
When demand is high both compressors are needed to meet the delivery requirements.
What is the best method for controlling the compressors to meet a varying, but
intermittent demand?One compressor running continuously with the other on standby.
Sequential start initiated by pressure switches set at different
switching pressures.
A medium speed diesel engine, operating with a pulse turbocharging system, has
been adjusted to have good power balance. What would the cylinder exhaust
gas temperatures, relative to each other, be expected to be? All cylinder
exhaust temperatures should be equal if the cylinder power balance is correct.

The charge air pressure supplied to a diesel engine, which is normally 2.0 bar, is
reduced to 1.5 bar . What will be the likely effect on the engine operation?The
performance of the engine will be similar to normal conditions.
The performance of the engine will be reduced noticeably.
In the event of a diesel engine crankcase explosion which of the safety devices fitted
to the engine is designed to minimise the risk of a secondary explosion?Crankcase oil
mist detector.
Crankcase relief valves/doors
Marine diesel engines are normally provided with automatic protection devices
which operate in the event of abnormal conditions arising. Why would medium speed
engines used for main propulsion normally only automatically slow down for certain
abnormal conditions but automatically shut down for the same conditions when used to
drive an alternator?Since the engine used for propulsion would usually be bigger the
sudden stop would generate greater thermal stress which may damage the engine.
Sudden total loss of propulsive power may seriously endanger the vessel. This is
a greater risk than engine damage.
What would be a typical setting for the overspeed trip to operate and shut down
the engine on a medium speed diesel engine?5% above engine rated speed
15% above engine rated speed

Selected answer:
P a g e 6 / 7
The blades should be in the zero thrust position.
A heat exchanger of the tube and shell type is used for cooling lubricating oil
with seawater as the secondary fluid. Which of the options would indicate that the tube
stack was becoming fouled (scaled or coked) rather than blocked? A reduced
temperature difference between the seawater inlet and outlet and an increase in the
temperature difference between the lubricating oil inlet and outlet.
A reduced temperature difference between the seawater inlet and outlet and
also between the lubricating oil inlet and outlet.
After a couple of hours of operation the failure alarm sounds for a heavy fuel oil
purifier which is operating on a timed automatic sludge cycle. Upon investigation the
purifier is found to be running slowly and when opened up the casing and sludge outlet
is heavily fouled with sludge in contact with the bowl. From the options given
what is the most likely cause of this problem?The clutch for the drive shaft is worn
and slipping.
The heavy fuel is unstable leading to excessive high viscosity sludge formation.

A viscosity controller for the main diesel engine fuel oil supply is giving poor

defects given in the options is likely to be the cause of this problem?The air supply
pressure to the controller for controlling the steam valve for steam to the fuel heater is
too low.
Capillary tube in the viscometer is blocked giving high differential pressure at the DP
cell.
Two identical medium speed engines are connected through clutches and a
reduction gearbox to a single controllable pitch propeller. It is noted during normal
operation that the load sharing between the engines is uneven with one engine taking a
greater proportion of the load as the total load increases even though they are equally
loaded at low load. Select from the options given the most likely cause of this
problem.The fuel filters in the supply line for one of the engines are blocked

The governor droop settings are incorrectly set and are not matched.
A U tube manometer is used to measure the pressure delivered by a ventilation
fan. Following replacement of the fan by a larger unit with a higher delivery rate and
pressure the liquid is blown out of the open end of the manometer. Which of the options
given will allow the manometer to be used to measure the delivery pressure of the
larger fan?Connect the open end to the inlet trunking of the fan to measure the
differential pressure rather than the delivery pressure.
Refill the manometer with liquid with a higher density.
The torsion meter for the main propeller shaft is reading high. The torque is sensed
using the angle of twist principle with two clamp rings attached to the shaft at a fixed
distance, with stationary proximity switches for measuring the angle of twist and
also shaft speed fixed to a rigid stool. What is the most likely cause of the high
reading? Axial slip of one of the clamp rings to bring them closer together.
Circumferential slip of the after clamp ring in the opposite direction to shaft rotation.
When selecting switchgear to work with High Voltage it is important to use an
appropriate arcing medium. What is meant by arcing medium?Equipment which
communicates information about the arcing.
