    EXAMINATION OF MARINE ENGINEER OFFICER
    Function: Marine Engineering at Operational Level
    MARINE ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE (MOTOR)

    M.E.O. Class IV
    (Time allowed - 3hours)
    India (2004) Afternoon Paper Total Marks 100

    NB : (1) All Questions are Compulsory


    (2) All Questions carry equal marks
    (3) Neatness in handwriting and clarity in expression carries weightage
    (4) Illustration of an Answer with clear sketches / diagrams carries weightage.

    1. S & D the operation of a governor suitable for diesel engine for A.C. generator
    2. Sketch and describe an independent two-stage air compressor. Draw a set of typical indicator
    diagrams and insert the various pressures and temperatures. Indicate the effect of a leaking H.P.
    suction valve and excessive H.P. clearance volume.

    3. Discuss the various factors affecting the failures of crankshafts in marine diesel engines.
    4. Detail the procedure of calibrating a cylinder liner of an auxiliary diesel engine. How the results
    should be presented for future reference.
    5. The exhaust manifold of an auxiliary engine under load turns red hot. There is no lagging on the
    manifold. What efforts would you make to cool down the manifold? State the efforts made without
    stopping the engine.
    6. During every night watch, the bridge watch keepers complain of continuous sparks from the funnel.
    You are convinced that the sparks have something to do with the fuel or the combustion system.
    What simple corrective steps would you initiate to reduce the degree of sparking.
    7. The main requirements which a fuel injection system must fulfil are
    (a) accurate metering of small amount of fuel oil
    (b) control of quality of fuel injection
    (c) proper timing of the fuel injection
    (d) selective distribution of the fuel in the combustion space
    State each one of the points made above are true or false. If any point you perceive is false, state
    why is it so.
    8. An auxiliary engine under load continuously fluctuates even with a steady load. The fault you
    diagnose could be owing to
    (a) the quality of fuel
    (b) the quality of servicing of the governor in the last port
    (c) the supply of charge air
    (d) the overhaul of fuel injectors done in the last decarbonisation
    Give a brief explanation as to why each of the above mentioned points either could be true or
    cannot at all be the reasons for such a fluctuation.
    9. With reference to a 2 stroke slow speed main propulsion engine air starting system
    (a) State, with reasons, Three safety features incorporated in an air starting system.
    (b) State with reason why an engine may fail to turnover on air.

    10. The diesel driven life boat engine simply refuses to start after running perfectly for a period of half an
    hour just before you prepare it to restart again . State just 4 check you would make to confirm the
    cause of this problem.
