Open /ircuit TestI The purpose of this test is to determine no load loss or core loss.
One winding of the transformer usually high voltage side if left open and the other is connected to its
supply of normal voltage and fre,uency. * wattmeter voltmeter and the ammeter are connected in the
low voltage winding.
5ith the normal voltage applied to the low voltage side normal flu) will be set up in the core hence
normal iron losses will occur which are recorded by the 5attmeter.
The load current on the low voltage winding will be smallG( to 1 F of rated full load current H the
copper loss in the winding will be negligible and will be nil in the high voltage side winding..
$o the wattmeter reading will represent practically the core loss under no load condition.
$hort-/ircuit TestI This is also known as .mpedance test.
.n this test the low voltage winding is short circuited by using a thick conductor Gor *mmeter which
serves additional purpose of .ndicating 3ated load currentH.
* low voltage at correct fre,uency is applied to the primary and is cautiously increased till full load current
is flowing the high voltage side.
.n this test the applied voltage is small percentage of its rated value hence flu) produced is small with
the result that iron losses will be negligible and the 5attmeter reading will represent the full load /u-loss.

14. 5orking principle of E)plosimeter;
*n e)plosimeter is a device which is used to measure the amount of combustible gases present in a
sample. 5hen a percentage of the lower e)plosive limit GLELH of an atmosphere is e)ceeded an alarm
signal on the instrument is activated. KE)plosimeterK
The device also called a combustible gas detector operates on the principle of resistance proportional to
heatLa wire is heated and a sample of the gas is introduced to the hot wire. /ombustible gases burn in
the presence of the hot wire thus increasing the resistance and disturbing a 5heatstone bridge which
gives the reading.
* flashback arrestor is installed in the device to avoid the e)plosimeter igniting the sample e)ternal to the
device.
The combustible gas indicator shown diagrammatically above consists of a 5heatstone bridge with
current supplied from a battery. 5hen the bridge resistances are balanced no current flows through the
galvanometer. One resistance is a hot filament in a combustion chamber. *n aspirator bulb and fle)ible
tube are used to draw a gas sample into the chamber. The gas will burn in the presence of the red hot
filament causing the temperature of the filament to rise. 3ise of temperature increases the resistance of
the filament and this change of filament unbalances the bridge. The current flow registers on the meter
which is scaled in percentage of L%L or ppm.

KW means that it is the power deliverd to the load. where
as the kva is the power can be meet the load demand. so
that kva is not with respect to load.

>. 2escription of camber sheer tumble home 3ise of floor by sketch
CamberI-The transverse curvature of the deck from the centerline down to the sides. This camber
is used on e)posed deck to drive water to the sides of the ship.
Sheer:- The curvature of the deck in a fore " aft directions rising from midship to the ma)imum at
the ends. .t makes a ship more seaworthy by raising the deck at the fore " after ends further from
the water and by reducing the volume of water coming on the deck.
Tumble HomeI- .n some ships the midship side shell in the region of the upper deck is curved
slightly towards the centre line thus reducing the width of the upper deck " decks above.
Rise of Floor:- The bottom shell of ship is sometimes sloped up from the keel to the bilge to
facilitate drainage. The rise of floor is very small.
(. 5hat is freeboard and reserve buoyancy ;
FreeboardI-.t is the distance from the waterline to the top of the deck plating at the side of the
deck amidships.
Reserve uo!a"c!I- .t is the potential buoyancy of a ship and depends upon the intact
watertight volume above the waterline.
5hen a mass is added to ship or buoyancy is lost due to bilging the reserve buoyancy is
converted into buoyancy by increasing the draught. .f the loss in bupyancy e)ceeds the reserve
buoyancy the 8/L will sink.
+. why tankers have less freeboard
The openings in the tankers are small than of other ship " also the permeability is more.
-. what do u mean by stability of ship. 'ow a stable ship returns to upright posn if heeled by e)ternal
force.
13
$T*!.L.TD O% $'.#I The tendency of ship to come back to its upright position when healed by
e)ternal force is defined as the stability of the ship.
5hen a ship is healed the centre of buoyancy shifts this forms a righting lever . thus the wt. of the
ship
1. what is tender and stiff ship.
Te"der Shi#:- The ship with a small Metacentric height has a small righting lever at any angle "
will roll easily is said to be tender ship. .n tender ship .n it the centre of gravity lies below the
transverse metacentre. The 6M is more than 6M. " these kind of ship are more stable.
Stiff Shi#:- The ship with a large Metacentric height has a large righting lever at any angle " has
considerable resistance to rolling. * stiff ship is very uncomfortable. .n it the /entre of 6ravity lies
above the transverse metacentre.
4. 5hat is free surface effect. 'ow knowledge of free surface effect will be useful. 'ow it is reduced
constructionally.
Free Surface Effect:- 5hen a tank of li,uid is partially filled " the mass of li,uid is moved. This
movement affects the Metacentric height. This is called free surface effect.
.f free surface effects becomes more then ship may /apsiBe.

and dripping.
+-. 'ow pressure testing of 6lobe 8alve is done;
a. !lank one side of valve and put water from the other side check for any leakage.
+1. Overhaul of a cylinder head " what all to check;
+4. Overhaul of .nlet " e)haust valve of au).enine;
+:. %unction of 3oto-/ap in valves " how it is overhauled;
a. .t helps to rotate the valve during operation with the help of the e)haust gas so as less wear
occurs and stress doesn<t comes only at one point.
+=. 5hat is dye-pentration test why is it done " how is it done;
2ye-#enetration test is a leak test carried out to know about the leakage/ crack in any part.
.n it first the part or unit is cleaned paint is removed where the crack is suspected then it marked
on the unit. .f water is coming then colour will change which shows the crack.
+@. 'ow alkalinity test is carried out;
a. Take (AA ml water sample in the stoppered bottle.
b. *dd one #.*lkalinity tablet " shake or crush to disintegrate.
c. .f #.*lkalinity is present the sample will turn blue.
d. 3epeat the tablet addition one at a time until the blue colour turns to permanent
yellow.
e. /ount the number of tablets used and carry out the calculationI
#.*lkalinity ppm /a/O+ T G7umber of tablet ) (AH ->A
f. 3ecord the result obtainied on the log sheet provided against the date on
which result was obtained.
-A. 5hy water is kept heated in hot-well;
a. To prevent o)idation
b. To avoid thermal stress on boiler.
->. #osition of Cnloader in */ " 3ef. compressor ;
Cnloader in */ " 3ef. compressor is located near the suction valve of the compressor.
-(. 5hat all clearances taken in centrifugal pump;
a. The wear ring " impeller.
b. The wear ring " the casing.
c. $haft and the bush.
-+. 5hy centrifugal pump is not self Jpriming;
!ecause of the churning effect it is not be able to remove air positively as mass of air is relatively
Bero.
--. 5hat is the position of bearing in centrifugal pump;
7ear the impeller.
-1. 5hat is the position of piston when taking bearing clearances

- /ross-head bearing clearance.L!.2./
46. 'ow to overhaul gear pump and centrifugal pump; *nd clearance to take.
47. 'ow to take out connecting road;
48. 'ow to test cylinder head relief valve onboard;
-@. 2uring maneuvering !ursting disc of air compressor get damaged what action to take;
a. .nform the bridge about the problem and to give lesser kicks.
b. $tart the stand by compressor.
c. .solate the compressor whose bursting disc is damaged.
d. /hange the bursting disc if available onboard.
e. .f 7ot available then let the $.5 go into the E/room bilges otherwise %resh
water cooled then 0oin a fle)ible hose and put into the e)pansion tank.
1A. 'ow will you test the crankcase relief door;
The testing of the //case relief door is done at shore.
1>. 3easons of #urifier overflow;
1(. #rocedure for doing boiler blow down;
#recautions
i. Ensure nobody is near the ship side blow down valve.
ii. 7ot to be carried out in drydock or alongside.
iii. 8alve se,uence to be followed.
iv. !oiler shouldn<t be left unattended during blow down.
v. Monitor the end of blow down. Long blow down to be avoided.
vi. 2on<t blow down to the E/room bilges.
#rocedure
i. $hip side valve > is opened followed by valve (.
ii. 8alve ( is 73 which is fully opened to avoid cutting off seat.
iii. 3ate of blow down controlled by 8alve +.
iv. %or scum blow down valve - " 1 are used.
1+. *ction to be taken if chloride content is e)cess;
!low down of boiler to be carried out.
1-. 'ow to blow through boiler 6auge 6lass;
#rocedureI
i. Make sure drain line is clear
ii. /lose the steam outlet valve.
44
iii. /lose the water outlet valve.
iv. Open the drain valve.
v. Open the water out valve " let water flow thru it and close the valve
after blowing down with water.
vi. Open the steam out valve and blow thru with steam.
vii. /lose steam valve.
viii. /lose the drain valve.
i). 7ow open the water side valve.
). Let water fill up +/-
th
gauge glass.
)i. Open the steam valve slowly.
11. 'ow to tighten boiler gauge glass after overhauling;
#rocedure of tighteningI
i. %irst tighten all the bolts by hand slightly without putting any pressure.
ii. 7ow tighten bolt > " ( e,ually. Then + " -.
iii. Tighten bolt 1 " 4. then : " = e,ually.
iv. Tighten bolt @ " >A.
v. 7ow again tighten : " =. Then 1 " 4.
vi. Tighten bolt + " -. then > " (.
Or you can say we first tighten outward bolts of both side " then inward side.
Then we move in opposite steps. i.e. tight inward bolts " then outward bolts.
