UNIT I
TWO MARKS
1. Define ISA?
A standard atmosphere is defined in order to relate flight tests, wind tunnel
results, and general airplane design and performance to a common reference. The
standard atmosphere gives mean values of pressure, temperature, density and
other properties as functions of altitude: these values are obtained fromexperimental balloon and sounding rocket measurements combined with a
mathematical model of the atmosphere.
2. Define Aerodynamic lift, drag and moments?
Consider the body sketched in figure oriented at any angle of attack to the
free-steam direction. The free steam velocity is denoted by V and is frequently
called the relative wind. The resultant aerodynamic force R, is inclined rearwardfrom the vertical, as shown in figure. (Note that, in general R is not perpendicular
to the chord line. By definition, the component of R perpendicular to the free-
stream velocity is the lift L, and the component of R parallel to the free steam
direction is the drag, D.

leading edge.
3. Define centre of pressure?
The centroid of the distributed load on the body is the point through which
the equivalent concentrated force acts. This point is called the center of pressure.
4. Define Aerodynamic co-efficients?

5. Define Stalling ?
Figure: Sketch of generic lift curve.
At high angles of attack, the lift coefficient becomes non-linear, reaches a
maximum value denoted by (c 1 ) max in figure, and then drops as is further
increased. The reason for this drop in c 1 at high is that flow separation occurs
over the top surface of the airfoil and the lift decreases (sometimes precipitously).
In this condition, the airfoil is said to be stalled.
6. Define Aspect ratio and taper ratio?
An important geometric property of a finite wing is the aspect ratio AR,
defined as AR b 2 /S.

7. Define pressure drag and friction drag?
Pressure drag- due to a net imbalance of surface pressure acting in the drag
direction
Friction drag due to the net effect of shear stress acting in the drag
direction.
8. What is mean by drag polar?
For every aerodynamic , there is a relation between C D and C L that can be
expressed as an equation or plotted on a graph. Both the equation and the graph
are called drag polar.

10. Give the brief introduction about edible oils and essential oils?
Edible oils are naturally occurring compounds based on long chain fatty acids and esters
(particularly glycerides esters) as well as derivations such as glycerin, long chain fatty alcohols,
sulfates and fulsonates, products form these compounds are used for food, sanitation, polymers
and in the paint industry.
In India where facts of animal origin such as fish oil lard are seldom used as cooking media,
that term vegetable oil is used as a synonym for edible oils. However it neds to be remembered
that there are on the one hand, vegetable oils such as castor oil and linseed oil which are non-
edible and on the other hand, edible oils like groundnut and coconut oil which are finding
increasing industrial applications as in cosmetics, soap making etc. Edible oils are a major source
of nutrition for the people in the country. Oil cakes, which are by-products of the oil extraction
process are important sources of animal nutrition. They can also be processed into protein rich
edible flour.
India has a highly developed oil based industry employing more than 15 million persons.
However, it remains an essentially food oil industry, accounting for as much as 83 percent of the
total supply of vegetable oil in the country. The major non-food users of oil are the soap and
varnish industries . these are the essential oils
Solvent extraction is a continuous chemical process for processing oil seeds such as
VEL TECH VEL TECH MULTI TECH VEL TECH HIGH TECH

VEL TECH VEL TECH MULTI TECH VEL TECH HIGH TECH
groundnut, soyabean and rapeseeds as opposed to physical crushing for oil extraction. Crude
vegetable oil, the main product from the solvent extraction process, is primarily used in the
manufacture of refined edible oils and vanaspathi, and to a lesser extent in glycerols and fattyacids use din soaps and other toiletries. While there are number of other value-added products
for varied application, the domestic industry and consequently the market for these products is
nascent.
11. Give an account on the classification of the cleansing compounds.
Soaps- compounds of the type R.COO.M where R.COO. is fatty acid radical representing
oleic, stearic, plasmatic Laurie and myristic. These are usually present in soaps as mixtures
based on glycerides raw materials M is the an alkali element such as Na or K. Detergents synthetic organic chemicals which promote better surface tension lowering
than soap Anionic (give R in water).
R,OH + HO.SO3HRO.SO3H + H2O
The sulfated compounds are quite stable in alkaline acid and hard water.
The molecular structure of R is important in determining a compound is biologically soft, straight
chain-normal structure gives a soft ABS.
Cationic:-
These have no strong detergent characteristics, but do have germicidal properties.
Non- Ionic:
Alkyl-aryl ethlylene oxide derivatives
Alphatic polyhydric alcohol esters.
Detergent builders:
Fluorescent dyes as brighteners.
Zealotries as alternative phosphorus free builders.

The heat of reaction for hydrogenation of oils is mildly exothermic the energy liberation
during hydrogenation requires a normal amount of water cooling via cooling coils.
(b) Temperature:
This variable is kept below 200C to avoid side reactions such as pyrolysis and to prevent
sintering of the porous catalyst.
(c) Kinetic rate factors:
For a gas-liquid reaction of the hydrogenation type
H2(g) + oil (I)fat (I)
Research has shown that a series of rate processes exist with 8 kinetic resistances.
The rate behaviour was characterized as,
Surface reaction and adsorption controls reaction rae in the vicnity of 100C.
2) H2handling problems:
Hydrogen gas has a wide explosive limit range. All equipment should be leak-tested with
Freon or helium detectors before operating, carbon steel can be used throughout for oil
hydrogenation to prevent hydrogen embitterment.
13. Write short notes on castor seed and soybean?
a) Castor seed:
India is one of the major producers of castor seed accounting for about 28 percent of the
world production the annual production of castor seed is around 5 lakh tones while that of castor
oil around 1.8 lakh tones. By acting in concert with the Technology mission on oilseeds, the

Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh Governments have helped growers increase production. Inedible
castor oil has two significant potentials.
With suitable processing castor can be used in the manufacture of soap to the extent of over
25 percent thus relieving to some extent the pressure on other edible oils, by being used in
conversion and in the lubricant industry castors oil has a good export potential especially in view
of the high price of the high price of petroleum products.
b) Soyabean:
Soyabean is not new for India. Black soyabean has been cultivated for ages in the low hills
of Kumaon and Garhwal region in India. (U.P) as well as on the foothills of the Himalayas and insome scattered pockets of central India. However, strangely enough, the crop has never been
popular in the India sub-continent and other tropical countries. The importance of soyabean in
Indian agriculture as a crop to narrow the oil and proteins gap has now been generally
appreciated, studies have indicated that the Soya flour, a by product can be used for fortification
of wht or other cereal flour up to 20 percent without detectable difference from the view point of
taste or appearance, but can considerable increased nutritional quality.
Besides, soya flour is known for its value as cattle feed in order to narrow the gap between
the availability and increasing requirement of nutritious feed for livestock.
14. Discuss about the raw materials and process description of hydrogenation of oils?
Raw materials:
Major raw materials are oils to be hardened and purified hydrogen which can be obtained
from several sources such as :
H2O or chlor- alkali
Steam iron reaction of steam on Fe followed by regeneration with water gas
Synthesis gas process:
Process description
Batch operation is used because of large residence times (1-3 hrs) and variation in oil input
and product properties from day to day. Batch hydro generators can treat 5-30 tons of oil per
batch, are equipped with coils for heating and cooling, and turbine agitators to disperse the

injected hydrogen.
A typical hydrogenation batch process operates as follows. Oil is charged to the reactor,heated and evacuated to drive off air and water. A catalyst oil slurry is pumped in, the catalyst
concentration is 5 to 15 kg per ton of oil Hydrogen is introduced and the steam is turned off since
reaction is mildly exothermic. After the derived hydrogenation has ensured as checked by an
iodine number iteration, the batch is cooled and filtered to recover the catalyst for reuse.
The hydrogenated oil is next deodorized in a Dow herm heated, steam, sparking vacuum
tower which operates on a continuous basis. The oil is next decolorized with fullers earth, carbon
or similar absorbent , then filtered, mixed with vitamins and sent to the packaging storage
operations. This involves refrigerated slow-cooling in packaged tins to reproduce the granularstructure of ghee.
15. Write short notes on Rice bran oil, Linseed and coconuts ?
Rice Bran Oil:
Rice bran is the most important source of edible oil among the unconventional sources. Rice
bran is the brown coating around the white starchy rice kernel which is obtained by dehisicing
paddy and polishing the rice. Despite the impressive grown of rice bran technology in thecountry, only a third of the available potential has been exploited. India produces about 80 million
tons of paddy annually.
Linseed:
Linseed is most commonly used for non-edible purpose. It is dual purpose crop yielding
oil and fiber. The relative contribution of this crop to the countrys total oil seed acreage and
production are 11.7 percent and 5.2 percent respectively. The crop is grown mainly as a source of
oil which is commonly used for cooking in M.P. and U.P, but a major portion is used in Industries,as in manufacture of plants and varnishes.
Innovative processes have been developed which can improve the quality and quantity of
yield from coconut. Not , India imports coconut oil in spite of being the third largest grower of
coconuts in the world. India has the potential to export 1.25 lakh tons of coconut powder, 1.2 lakh
tons of coconut oil and one lak tone of other products annually after metering domestic
requirements. This plant is to used wet processing techniques which use 93 percent of the
coconut.
