Q1. Sketch and describe the refrigeration system of a container carrying bananas only. How does the controlled atmosphere of the container extend the green life and shelf life of bananas? How is the airflow system designed ?
Q2. You have been appointed as the Second Engineer of an eight years old vessel, recently purchased by your shipping company. Write a report to the engineering superintendent covering the inspection of main propulsion machinery carried out by you, to ensure its trouble free operation.
Q3. Describe with the aid of sketches where necessary a vane type steering gear showing how to weight of the rudder and stock are carried and the arrangement that allow for wear down.
Q4. Cast iron is most widely used after steel in Marine Engineering. Most cast irons consist of graphite in steel like matrix. Discuss the variation of properties that may arise with reference to pearlitic greycast iron and spherical grey cast iron. Describe briefly the treatment necessary to produce these two types of Irons.
Q6. With reference to Gear pumps used for lubricating oil transfer. (a) Sketch and describe a gear type pump indicating the flow of fluid.(b) state the materials that gear type pump components may be manufactured from.(c) specify THREE applications that are suitable for the employment of gear types pumps.

(a) Sketch and describe high pressure cut-out in a refrigeration system.(b) The refrigeration compressor has stopped due to operation of the h.p cut-out explain.
(i) The possible cause.
(ii) How these causes would be found and possible remedies.
(c) What steps are taken if the compressor “short-cycle” on low pressure cut-out?
