Is this the official Pancyprian Technical School Marine Mechanical Systems II exam?

No. The official assessment is administered by the Cyprus Examinations Service as a 2.5-hour Greek written paper under code 416. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation for revision; practise timed written answers with official past papers and the specification.

How is the subject marked?

Like all Pancyprian access subjects it is marked on a 0–20 scale. There is no pass mark; the grade contributes to the access/ranking grade used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.

What is the 2026 exam fee?

EUR 25.00 per access subject (EUR 50.00 only for Practical Physical Performance Test code 032), payable by card in the official 2–17 April 2026 window, with exemptions for specified groups.

Who can sit this examination?

Final-year student or graduate of a Cyprus public secondary school (lyceum cycle), the English School Nicosia, a licensed private school, or an equivalent foreign upper-secondary school (with certification), within Examinations Service nationality/residence rules. Applications are electronic; un-promoted final-year students with 135+ absences are excluded.

Why is the practice bank in English?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice URL per exam. The official paper is in Greek. The bank is not an official translation of the Greek exam environment.

How should I use this bank with official materials?

Use the bank to diagnose weak syllabus chapters (separators through propulsion), then switch to Θέματα - Λύσεις and the official specification on panexams.moec.gov.cy for timed written practice that this bank does not simulate.

1On a marine centrifugal fuel-oil purifier, changing the gravity disc is required when which property of the liquid changes significantly?

A.Temperature only

B.Viscosity only

C.Water content only

D.Specific gravity (density)

Explanation: The gravity disc sets the oil–water interface radius for the density difference being treated. When specific gravity changes enough that the interface moves outside the design band, a different gravity disc diameter must be fitted.

2In purifier mode, a marine centrifugal separator is primarily arranged to separate:

A.Solids only from clean oil

B.Oil from water (and solids) with continuous water discharge

C.Gas from lubricating oil

D.Salt crystals from seawater only

Explanation: Purifier operation uses a water seal and gravity disc so that water (and solids) leave continuously while cleaned oil discharges from the light-phase outlet.

3Clarifier mode on a centrifugal separator differs from purifier mode mainly because the bowl is set up to:

A.Maintain a water seal and continuous water discharge

B.Remove solids from oil without establishing an oil–water interface

C.Increase fuel calorific value chemically

D.Bypass the bowl and use only filters

Explanation: In clarifier mode the gravity disc/seal arrangement is changed so there is no continuous water interface; the machine removes solids from a single liquid phase.

4Fuel oil is heated before a centrifugal purifier mainly to:

A.Raise density above seawater

B.Lower viscosity so droplets separate faster under centrifugal force

C.Freeze water out of the oil

D.Increase flash point above 100 °C

Explanation: Heating reduces viscosity, allowing water and solids to migrate more readily under centrifugal acceleration toward the bowl periphery.

5A common immediate action if a fuel-oil purifier starts discharging oil with the water is to:

A.Increase feed rate to maximum

B.Stop and investigate seal/interface (often gravity disc, temperature, or water seal)

C.Add seawater to the dirty-oil tank

D.Open the bowl without stopping

Explanation: Oil in the water outlet means the interface has moved inward (wrong disc, temperature/density change, lost water seal, or sludge build-up). Stop and correct before continuing.

6Centrifugal separators on main-engine lubricating oil systems are typically run to:

A.Increase bearing clearance

B.Remove water and solids that would accelerate wear and corrosion

C.Replace the need for any filters

D.Cool the oil by expanding it

Explanation: Continuous or batch purification keeps water and abrasive solids out of the circulating lube oil, protecting bearings and journals.

7If a separator bowl accumulates excessive sludge, throughput falls and vibration may rise. The correct response is to:

A.Ignore sludge until the next dry-dock

B.Carry out a bowl clean / sludge discharge cycle per maker’s procedure

C.Raise RPM above the rated speed

D.Inject freon into the bowl

Explanation: Sludge packing unbalances the bowl and blocks channels. Periodic cleaning or automatic sludge discharge restores capacity and balance.

8A gravity disc with a larger inner diameter (for a given bowl) generally moves the oil–water interface:

A.Outward, favoring lighter oils

B.Inward toward the axis

C.To the feed pump suction

D.Into the gear case

Explanation: A larger disc ID allows the heavy phase (water) to occupy a larger outer radius before overflowing, positioning the interface farther out—appropriate for lighter oils.

9Four frequent causes of abnormal stoppage or poor performance of a marine oil separator include:

A.Wrong gravity disc, incorrect temperature, excessive feed rate, and sludge blockage

B.Only low ambient humidity

C.Only GPS satellite loss

D.Only propeller pitch error

Explanation: Past Pancyprian items emphasize operational causes: disc selection, heating, feed rate, and bowl fouling/seal problems.

10Relative to Earth’s gravity g, the acceleration in a high-speed separator bowl is often thousands of g. If ω = 600 rad/s and r = 0.15 m, centripetal acceleration ω²r is approximately:

A.54 m/s² (~5.5 g)

B.540 m/s² (~55 g)

C.5 400 m/s² (~550 g)

D.54 000 m/s² (~5 500 g)

Explanation: ω²r = 600² × 0.15 = 360 000 × 0.15 = 54 000 m/s² ≈ 5 500 g. That intense field drives rapid phase separation.
