components and propellers.
(b) Write about the feasibility of using Modem liehtweight materials such
Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) for machinery components and
Bucky paper instead of steel plates:

5. (a) Considering that hydraulic systems use positive displacement type pumps and
motors, discuss the effect of increased load on the pumping parameters pressure and
flow rate. If a anchor windlass is "unable to lift the chain' what can be reason?
What possible solutions can be attempted?

turbochargers gets isolated. Explain the purpose ofthis action and care to be taken.

8. Why are traditional refrigerant gases being replaced? Among the various altemate
refrigerant gases being used, discuss the suitability and drawbacks in the use of,
Ammonia, CO2 and hydrocarbon gases such as Propane. Focus on safety issues,
effi ciency and availability.
