Right Answer:
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It refers to the technology used to control the indoor climate of buildings by regulating temperature, humidity, and air quality.

Right Answer:
Uranium and plutonium.

Right Answer:
A fermentor is specifically designed for fermentation processes, primarily for growing microorganisms to produce products like alcohol or antibiotics. A bioreactor, on the other hand, is a broader term that refers to any vessel where biological reactions occur, including fermentation, cell culture, and other processes involving living cells or enzymes.

Right Answer:
C.H.R. stands for "Cooling Heat Rejection" in industries.

Right Answer:
An inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), allowing the use of DC power sources, like batteries, to power AC appliances.

Right Answer:
The types of central AC plants include:

1. Chilled Water Systems
2. Direct Expansion (DX) Systems
3. Absorption Chillers
4. Air-Cooled Chillers
5. Water-Cooled Chillers
6. Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems

Right Answer:
Maintaining excess air in furnaces and boilers ensures complete combustion of the fuel, reduces the formation of harmful emissions like carbon monoxide, and helps prevent soot buildup, which can improve efficiency and safety.

Right Answer:

Steam is generated by heating water in a closed container (called a boiler) until it boils and turns into vapor. This is usually done using fuels like coal, gas, oil, or electricity.

Right Answer:
The DCS (Distributed Control System) architecture of our plant consists of a centralized control room with multiple operator stations connected to field devices through communication networks. It includes redundant controllers for reliability, I/O modules for data acquisition, and a human-machine interface (HMI) for monitoring and control. The system is designed to ensure real-time data processing and control of various processes across the plant.

Right Answer:

On average, 1 kg of coal produces around 5 to 6.5 kg of steam, depending on the coal quality and boiler efficiency.

Right Answer:
Maintenance management of electrical systems in a petrochemicals plant involves regular inspections, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs to ensure reliability and safety. It includes monitoring equipment performance, adhering to safety regulations, maintaining documentation, and implementing a maintenance schedule to minimize downtime and optimize efficiency.

Right Answer:
To handle manpower effectively, ensure clear communication of roles and responsibilities, provide proper training, and establish a structured work schedule. Demonstrate the working procedure through hands-on training sessions, visual aids, and regular feedback to ensure understanding and compliance with safety and operational standards.

Right Answer:
Plant maintenance work in the steel sector involves regular inspections, repairs, and servicing of machinery and equipment to ensure optimal performance and safety. This includes preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and corrective maintenance of furnaces, rolling mills, conveyors, and other critical systems to minimize downtime and enhance production efficiency.

Right Answer:
A thermal power plant generates electricity by using heat energy, typically from burning fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil. The heat produces steam that drives a turbine connected to a generator, converting thermal energy into electrical energy.

Right Answer:
The man and machine ratio for operation and maintenance at a site typically ranges from 1:1 to 1:3, depending on the complexity of the machinery and the operational requirements. This means for every machine, there is one to three personnel assigned for effective operation and maintenance.

Right Answer:
To reduce maintenance costs at the site, I plan to implement a proactive maintenance strategy, conduct regular training for staff, invest in predictive maintenance technologies, optimize inventory management for spare parts, and establish a thorough review process for maintenance tasks to identify and eliminate inefficiencies.

Right Answer:
Preventive maintenance is a proactive approach to maintenance that involves regularly scheduled inspections, servicing, and repairs of equipment and facilities to prevent unexpected failures and extend their lifespan.

Right Answer:
You should set up a gas power plant.
