QUESTION 1
1.1 Define:
1.2 Describe how the intake and exhaust systems of diesel engines,
for your in a fiery mine, are flameproofed. (8)
QUESTION 2
Calculate:
2.1.1 the total line current (4)
Calculate:
3.1.1 the maximum depth below the bank to which this conveyance may
be operated with a full load of persons if the factor of safety is to
remain within that specified by the regulations. (5)
[10]
QUESTION 4
4.1 With the aid of a simple schematic diagram explain how a signal
is transmitted on the ECAM signalling device between the
conveyance and the winding engine driver. (5)
4.2 Explain with the aid of sketches how the tension in the ropes of
a Blair multi-rope winder is equalised. (5)

QUESTION 5
Small battery locomotives (5 tons) collect ore from scattered stopes and deliver
full trucks to a large (12 ton) overhead supply line locomotive, which transports
them to the tips.
5.1 How many small units can the large unit service under the following
conditions?
6.1 What is the thrust on the closed valve at the bottom of the following
columns ?
Calculate:
6.3.1 the minimum inflow of water required into the dam to ensure that
drill water will be available for approximately 6 hours (assume the
dam to be full at the start of the shift and the combined co-efficient
of discharge as 0,79). (6)
6.3.2 the pressure on a closed valve at the end of the pipe when the
6.4 A 3 phase 1,25 kV electric motor draws 195A at 0,8 power factor
when the pump it is driving delivers 50 liters/s of water through a
vertical column 400 m long. The column develops a leak 200 m
from the pump. This results in the quantity delivered at the top of
the column dropping to 29 liters/s and the quantity lost at the leak is
25 liters/s.
Calculate the amperage drawn under the new conditions if the efficiency
remains the same.
Assume the friction head loss in the column is 0,005Q in meters per
100 m of column, where Q is the flow in liters/s. (13)
