Apart from temperature there are few differences between carrying cargoes of chilled meat, minus 1 degree Celsius, and frozen meat, minus 18 degrees Celsius. A key difference is that for frozen meat the cooling fans are operated at half speed or some are switched off whereas for chilled meat the fans are run constantly at full speed. Select, from the options given, the main reason for this difference in fan operation.
It is an energy saving measure since chilled meat cargoes do not require as much cold air.
The chilled meat is more sensitive to damage and therefore tighter temperature control is necessary.
The fans may be damaged if they were run at full speed delivering very cold air to the frozen cargo.
Running the fans at full speed would generate too much heat which may affect the frozen meat.

Part of the fracture surface would be uneven but smooth (burnished) with the remainder crystalline with part 'cup and cone' shape.
The surface of the fracture would be crystalline in appearance and at an angle of approximately 45 degree to the axis of the tie rod.
The surface at the fracture would be crystalline in appearance with a full 'cup and cone' shape.
What is the purpose of the special two-way valves mounted on towers at a given height above the cargo deck of a chemical tanker?
They contain sensors which activate the high-level alarms.

When correctly set, they prevent the level of cargo within a tank from changing as the temperature changes.
When appropriately set, they automatically prevent excessive pressure in a cargo tank (carrying harmful vapours away at a safe height) and relieve excessive vacuum.

Too high exhaust temperature in one cylinder becomes because of:
Nozzle ring of turbocharger fouled or partially choked.
Compression pressure too low.
Speed governor defective.
Modern large slow speed diesel engines operate with very efficient turbochargers. This has resulted in much later opening of the exhaust valve as less energy is needed to drive the turbocharger giving exhaust timing which is almost symmetrical about bottom dead centre. How has this affected the reversing operation of the engines?
It has no effect and the reversing requirements of the engine are still the same.
Only the air start distributor has to be repositioned prior to reversing the engine.
The engine can be reversed by simply repositioning the main camshaft.
Only the fuel and starting air timing needs to be changed to reverse the engine.
