Part -3 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer

1. What is the difference between Technology and Engineering?Ans. Engineering is application of science. Technology shows various methods of Engineering. A bridge can be made by using beams to bear the load,by an arc or by hanging in a cable; all shows different technology but comes under civil engineering and science applied is laws of force/load distribution.

2. How to Measure Temperature in Wet Bulb Thermometer?Ans. Wet bulb temperature is measured in a wet bulb thermometer by covering the bulb with a wick and wetting it with water. It corresponds to the dew point temperature and relative humidity.

3. What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of using LPG in Car?Ans. Advantages

1. Complete combustion
2. Fuel saving
3. Homogenous combustion

Disadvantages
1. As complete combustion is occurring ,more heat liberated,not advised for long journey, engine will be over heated
2. Installation is difficult
3. Reduce engine life efficiency
4. What is the difference between Speed and Economic Speed?Ans. The rated speed tells us about the maximum speed which can be achieved by a vehicle or some other machine but the economical speed means the speed limit at which the machine works efficiently with least consumption of fuel.eg-in normal bikes(not racing),the max.speed limit shown on speedometer is upto 120 kmph but companies always advice their customers to drive such bikes at around 60 kmph to have maximum mileage.

5. What is Powder Technology?Ans. Powder technology is one of the ways of making bearing material. In this method metals like bronze, Al, Fe are mixed and compressed to make an alloy.

6. State all the laws of Thermodynamics?Ans. There are three laws of the thermodynamics.
First Law: Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only change forms. In any process in an isolated system, the total energy remains the same.
Second Law: When two isolated systems in separate but nearby regions of space, each in thermodynamic equilibrium in itself, but not in equilibrium with each other at first, are at some time allowed to interact, breaking the isolation that separates the two systems, and they exchange matter or energy, they will eventually reach a mutual thermodynamic equilibrium. The sum of the entropies of the initial, isolated systems is less than or equal to the entropy of the final exchanging systems. In the process of reaching a new thermodynamic equilibrium, entropy has increased, or at least has not decreased.
Third Law: As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a minimum.

7. State the difference between Unilateral and Bilateral Tolerance?Ans. A unilateral tolerance is tolerance in which variation is permitted only in one direction from the specified direction.e.g. 1800 +0.000/-0.060 Bilateral tolerance is tolerance in which variation is permitted in both direction from the specified direction.e.g. 1800 +0.060/-0.060

8. What is the abbreviation of welding rod 7018?Ans. 7018 =
70=tensile strength 70000psi
1= welding position
8=current flux

9. What is difference between Welding and Brazing?Ans. In Welding concentrated heat (high temperature) is applied at the joint of metal and fuse together.
In Brazing involves significantly lower temperatures and does not entail the melting of base metals. Instead, a filler metal is melted and forced to flow into the joint through capillary action.
10. Which has more Efficiency Diesel Engine or Petrol Engine?Ans. Diesel engine has the better efficiency out of two.

RADIOGRAPHY TEST

RADIOGRAPHY TEST INTRODUCTION : Industrial radiography is a nondestructive test method that uses X-rays or Gamma rays to show the presence and certain characteristics of internal discontinuities in solid materials. The method is based on the ability of X-ray or Gamma-ray radiation to penetrate solids, to a degree that varies with such factors as wave length of the radiation, and type and thickness of the material part of the radiation penetrates the material and part is absorbed. The amount absorbed and the amount transmitted are a function of the thickness of the material. Where a void or discontinuity exists, there is essentially less material to absorb the radiation. This creates a different in absorption, a difference that registers on photographic emulsions. The result is a shadow picture called a radiography Radio-graphic Sources : The common gamma ray radio-graphic sources : Cobalt - 60 Cesium - 137 Iridium - 192 Thulium - 170 Gamma Ray Radiography : Gamma rays ar...

What is Annealing ?

Annealing:- Annealing  Process :- Annealing is a heat treatment process by which the properties of steel are enhanced to meet machinability requirements. In this process Hypoeutectoid steels (less than 0.83% carbon) are heated above upper critical temp., soaked and cooled slowly and  Hypereutecoid (above 0.83%) are heated above lower critical temp., soaked and allowed to cool slowly. Annealing  Process Steps: 1.Heat material into the asutenite region (i.e. above 1600F) – rule of thumb: hold   steel for one hour for each one inch of thickness 2.Slowly furnace cool the steel – DO NOT QUENCH 3.Key slow cooling allows the C to precipitate out so resulting structure is coarse  pearlite with excess ferrite 4.After annealing steel is quite soft and ductile The purpose of Annealing is : 1)Reduce hardness and brittleness 2)Alter microstructure for desired mechanical properties 3)Soften...

The Brinell Hardness Test

The Brinell Hardness Test The Brinell hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a 10 mm diameter hardened steel or carbide ball subjected to a load of 3000 kg. For softer materials the load can be reduced to 1500 kg or 500 kg to avoid excessive indentation. The full load is normally applied for 10 to 15 seconds in the case of iron and steel and for at least 30 seconds in the case of other metals. The diameter of the indentation left in the test material is measured with a low powered microscope. The Brinell harness number is calculated by dividing the load applied by the surface area of the indentation. The diameter of the impression is the average of two readings at right angles and the use of a Brinell hardness number table can simplify the determination of the Brinell hardness. A well structured Brinell hardness number reveals the test conditions, and looks like this, "75 HB 10/500/30" which means that a Brinell Hardness of 75 was obtained us...
