AND ANSWERS
Which process is most commonly used for small pipe maintenance welding? - ANS D.
Oxyacetylene gas welding
What is the proper definition of an engine? - ANS B. It is machine designed to convert energy
into useful mechanical motion
What is wet stacking and how can it be prevented? - ANS C.Wet stacking is a condition in
diesel engines in which unburned fuel passes on into the exhaust system.[1] The word
