1.3. Problems on Energy Consumption Calculation
A house has the following electrical load for January (31 days):
- (a) Lamps: 5 lamps of 60 W each, working 8 hours per day.
- (b) Lamps: 4 lamps of 100 W each, working 8 hours per day.
- (c) Heaters: 2 heaters of 1000 W each, working 3 hours per day.
- (d) Fans: 5 fans of 80 W each, working 12 hours per day.
Calculate the January month energy bill if the rate of charge is Rs. 0.50 per unit (kWh) and add Rs. 10 as meter rent per month.
Solution:
Given Data:

Fundamentals of Technology and Basic Electronics
1. What Is Technology?
Technology is the application of knowledge and skills to solve problems and satisfy human needs.
Technology helps people create objects and systems that make life easier, such as machines, tools, transport, and communication devices.
Technology uses:
- Scientific and technical knowledge
- Technical skills
- Technical drawings
- Computers
- Economic factors (costs and prices)
2. Stages of Technological Projects
A technological project follows these stages:
- Needs – Identify a problem or need.
- Ideas
Mechanical Design Methodology and Morphology Principles
Design Methodology
Definition:
Design methodology is a systematic and structured approach used by engineers to convert a need or problem into a working and efficient mechanical system. It involves a sequence of steps such as identifying the problem, conceptualizing ideas, analyzing alternatives, and developing the final design.
Explanation:
In mechanical engineering, design methodology helps in achieving reliable, cost-effective, and innovative solutions. It ensures that all aspects like functionality,

Marine Steam Turbine Fundamentals
1. Typical Parameters of a Marine Steam Turbine
- Power output
- Steam pressure and temperature
- Rotational speed
- Condenser vacuum
2. Main Propulsion Steam Turbine System Configuration
The flow path is: Boiler → Turbine → Condenser → Feed Pumps → Boiler.
3. Multistage Steam Turbine Necessity
Multistage operation is required because gradual steam expansion increases efficiency and reduces energy losses.
4. Ship’s Astern Steam Turbine Configuration
An astern turbine is typically

Very Short Notes
1. Define static and dynamic resistance
Static resistance: The ratio of voltage to current at a particular operating point.
R = V / I
Dynamic resistance: The ratio of a small change in voltage to the corresponding change in current at an operating point.
r = dV / dI
2. Explain how the diode acts as switch
ON state (forward biased): When the anode is positive with respect to the cathode, the diode conducts current with very low resistance, behaving like a closed switch.
OFF state (reverse
