  1. An industrial building contains 3000 kg of combustible materials, in dry state, distributed over three rooms of area 100 m2, 500 m2 and 300 m2 each, in a proportion of 30%, 50% and 20% of the contents, respectively. Calorific value of the material is 4400 kCal/kg. The Total fire load of the rooms is equal to _______ kCal/m2.

    Fire Load =
    (Weight × Calorific Value)
    Area

    Fire Load in Room 1 =
    (300 × 0.3 × 4400)
    = 39600 kCal / sq m
    100

    Fire Load in Room 2 =
    (300 × 0.5 × 4400)
    = 13200 kCal / sq m
    500

    Fire Load in Room 3 =
    (300 × 0.2 × 4400)
    = 8800 kCal / sq m
    300

    Total Fire load = 39600 + 13200 + 8800 = 61600 kCal/sq m

    Correct Option: D

    Fire Load =
    (Weight × Calorific Value)
    Area

    Fire Load in Room 1 =
    (300 × 0.3 × 4400)
    = 39600 kCal / sq m
    100

    Fire Load in Room 2 =
    (300 × 0.5 × 4400)
    = 13200 kCal / sq m
    500

    Fire Load in Room 3 =
    (300 × 0.2 × 4400)
    = 8800 kCal / sq m
    300

    Total Fire load = 39600 + 13200 + 8800 = 61600 kCal/sq m

  1. For a symmetrical trapezoidal open drain in a landscape with grass and loose rock, surface, the velocity of flow of water is ___ m/sec, (round off to two decimal places), given the following data.
    Water edge width at the top = 750 mm
    Water edge width at the bottom = 45000 mm
    Water depth = 600 mm
    Manning’s coefficient of roughness = 0.05
    Slope along the drain = 1 in 250
