- P-2, Q-3, R-1, S-4
- P-2, Q-5, R-1, S-4
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Atomization is the process used for producing fine metal powders by breaking up a molten metal stream using high-pressure gas or water jets.
Q: Sintering → Description 3
Sintering involves heating metal powders below their melting point so that diffusion occurs and particles bond together to form a solid part.
R: Compaction → Description 1
Compaction presses blended metal powders into a required shape using dies and high pressure, forming a green compact.
S: Infiltration → Description 4
Infiltration involves placing a slug of low-melting-point metal in contact with a porous sintered part and heating, causing the molten metal to fill the pores.
Thus, the correct matching is:
P–2, Q–3, R–1, S–4

- Water flows through a smooth circular pipe of diameter 10 cm and length 10 m. The pressure drop across the length of the pipe is 0.2 Pa. Kinematic viscosity and density of water are \(1 \times 10^{-6} \, {m}^2/{s}\) and 1000 \({kg/m}^3\), respectively. Assuming laminar and fully developed flow throughout the pipe, the velocity of water (in mm/s) at the center of the pipe is ........ (Rounded off to one decimal place)
