Q1. A reversible heat engine operates between reservoirs at 600 K and 300 K. It absorbs 1200 kJ of heat from the high temperature reservoir. What is the work output produced? GATE ME • Thermodynamics

💡 Solution (Option B): Efficiency of reversible Carnot engine η = 1 - (T_C / T_H) = 1 - (300 / 600) = 0.50 (50%). Work output W = η × Q_in = 0.50 × 1200 kJ = 600 kJ.

Q2. A simply supported beam of length L carries a uniformly distributed load (UDL) of intensity w per unit length over its entire span. What is the maximum bending moment in the beam? GATE ME • Strength of Materials

💡 Solution (Option B): Reactions at supports are R_A = R_B = wL / 2. Shear force is zero at mid-span (x = L/2). Maximum bending moment occurs at mid-span: M_max = (wL/2)*(L/2) - w*(L/2)*(L/4) = wL²/4 - wL²/8 = wL² / 8.

Q3. In laminar flow through a circular pipe of diameter D, if the mean flow velocity is doubled, what happens to the head loss due to friction over length L? GATE ME • Fluid Mechanics

💡 Solution (Option A): For laminar flow (Hagen-Poiseuille equation), head loss is h_f = 32 μ V L / (ρ g D²). Head loss is directly proportional to velocity V (h_f ∝ V) because friction factor f = 64/Re = 64/(ρVD/μ), so f*V² ∝ (1/V)*V² = V. Thus, when velocity doubles, head loss doubles!
