There are times during operation that a system will require more refrigerant to be in circulation.
So It is basically a storage vessel designed to hold excess refrigerant not in circulation. Refrigeration
systems exposed to varying heat loads, or systems utilizing a condenser flooding valve to maintain
a minimum head pressure during low ambient temperatures, will need a receiver to store excess
refrigerant.

A buckle is a long, fairly shallow, broad, vee depression that occurs in the surface of flat castings.
It extends in a fairly straight line across the entire flat surface.It results due to the sand expansion
caused by the heat of the metal, when the sand has insufficient hot deformation. It also results
from poor casting design providing too large a flat surface in the mold cavity.

125. (c)
At critical radius total resistance is minimum.

126. (c)

After a material has reached its elastic limit, or yielded, further straining will result in
permanent deformation. After yielding not all of the strain will be recovered when the load is
removed. Plastic deformation is defined as permanent, non-recoverable deformation. Plastic
deformation is not linear with applied stress.

129. (c)
In gas turbines maximum pressure is much less than steam turbines so temperature may be
increased so that combined effect of temperature and pressure is same on turbine blades of
steam and gas turbine.

133. (a)
Initially when centrifugal pump is started, if there exists air, then it would not be able to lift up
the liquid (water) so priming is done to remove air pocket in hydraulic system of pump.

134. (d)
Strength of beam depends upon section modulus.

135. (d)
The tooth in rack and pinion arrangement can be of spur or helical type.

136. (c)
Friction factor depends on Reynold number for laminar flow as well as turbulent flow if pipe is
smooth.

145. (b)
Notch sensitivity of gray cast iron is zero because of presence of graphite flakes which have
itself many notches so practically insensitive for stress concentration.

148. (c)
It is due to viscosity.

149. (b)
Because in converging section stream lines are not parallel so P = ρgh is not valid.

150. (d)
Breakdown maintenance: It is an emergency based policy in which the plant or equipment is
operated until it fails and then brought back in running condition by repair. Preventive
maintenance: It is a planned maintenance for plants and equipments in order to prevent or
minimize breakdown.
