Question 1 10 / 10 pts For PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) type plants, what is a pressurizer “outsurge” and how does the pressurizer control system respond? An outsurge is caused by a decrease in reactor coolant temperature and results in an increase in pressurizer pressure as the steam bubble is expanded. The pressurizer control system responds by
actuating sprays.
An outsurge is caused by an increase in reactor coolant temperature and results in an increase in pressurizer pressure as the steam bubble is compressed. The pressurizer control system responds by actuating sprays.

Question 2 10 / 10 pts With regard to typical Westinghouse design PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) type plants, which of the following correctly lists control systems that utilize reactor coolant “Tavg” as an input signal? Rod control, steam dump control, and steam generator level control
Steam dump control, steam generator level control, and pressurizer pressure control
Rod control, steam dump control, and pressurizer level control
Steam dump control, pressurizer level control, and steam generator level control
IncorrectQuestion 3 0 / 10 pts With regards to a boiling water reactor (BWR), why are the control rods inserted from the bottom of the core? Control rods enter from the bottom of the core such that flow through the core is not impeded.
Control rods enter from the bottom of the core to ensure reliable insertion when a Scram signal is
initiated
Control rods enter from the bottom because there is a large percentage of voids in the upper part of the core and if the rods entered from the top the neutron flux would be severely depressed
Control rods enter through the bottom of core for ease of maintenance on the control rods. Wrong answer

Provide the vessel protection from neutron embrittlement
Protect the vessel from temperature changes

Question 5 10 / 10 pts With regard to BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) type plants, what is the purpose of the Control Rod
Drive System Scram Inlet and Outlet Valves? Control flow of water necessary for rapid rod insertion.
Control emergency boration flow in the event of rapid rod insertion.
Control flow of water to the rod drive motor coolers.
Control flow of reactor coolant recirculation in the event of rapid rod insertion.
Question 6 10 / 10 pts With regard to typical Westinghouse design PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) type plants, what is the basis for the “Overtemperature ΔT” (OTΔT) reactor trip signal? Protect the steam generator u-tubes from excess stress.
Steam dump control, pressurizer level control, and steam generator level control
Protect the nuclear fuel and fuel cladding from overheating conditions.

Bathroom sinks and some other fixtures include an overflow opening in the basin. This
opening is located on the wall and near the top of the basin. The overflow opening
serves two important functions:
If the water tap is left on while the drain stopper is closed, the opening will
channel water down into the drain opening rather than letting is spill out of the
sink onto the floor.
The overflow allows the sink to drain faster by introducing air into the system.
A sink with a dimension given in Figure Q2(b), has water flows into it at a rate of
8 L/min. If the drain stopper is closed and water level in the sink remains constant,
determine the average velocity of water flows through the 3.0 cm diameter overflow
hole.

An oil/gas separator is a pressure vessel used for separating a well stream into gaseous and liquid components. They are installed either in an onshore processing station or on an offshore platform. Based on the vessel configurations, the oil/gas separators can be divided into horizontal, vertical, or spherical separators. In a vertical tank, the heavy liquids are pumped out of the ____________ of the vessel and the light phase is drawn off the side of the tank.

Q.1: Water is to be cooled in a packed tower from 330 to 295 K by means of air flowing counter
currently. The liquid flows at the rate of 275 cm³/m² s and the air at 0.7 m³/m² s. The entering
air has a temperature of 295 K and a humidity of 20%. Calculate the required height of tower
and the condition of the air leaving at the top. The whole of the resistance to heat and mass
transfer can be considered as being within the gas phase and the product of the mass transfer
coefficient and the transfer surface per unit volume of column (ha) may be taken as 0.2 s¹.
Assuming, the latent heat of water at 273 K = 2495 kJ/kg, specific heat capacity of dry air =
