Part -4 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer

1.          What is Difference between stamina and strength?

Ans.    Strength is capability over a short length of time and Stamina is the ability to keep going continuously.

2.          What is Hydro-static System?

Ans.    Hydrostatics is the study of fluid bodies that are
  • At rest
  • Moving sucient slowly so there is no relative motion between adjacent parts of the body
For hydrostatic situations
  • There are no shear stresses
  • There are only pressure forces that act perpendicular to any surface.
It’s a closed loop hydraulic systems. It comprises of motor and pump. Here pump supplies energy to motor and motor gives return energy to pump supply.

3.          What is Cotter joint?

Ans.     A cotter joint is used to connect rigidly two co-axial rods or bars which are subjected to axial tensile or compressive forces. Here shaft is locked in place by a smaller pin that passes through the side of the lug and partly or completely through the shaft itself. This locking pin is named as cotter.

4.          How is the excess discharge pressure prevented?

Ans.     Discharge pressure prevented by a pressurized spike cushion. Here the system employs a pressurized cushion of air and a two o-ring piston, which permanently separates this air cushion from the water system. When the valve closes and the water flow is suddenly stopped, the pressure spike pushes the piston up the arrester chamber against the pressurized cushion of air. The air cushion in the arrester reacts instantly, absorbing the pressure spike that causes water hammer.

5.          What is the difference between Strainer and Filter?

Ans.     Strainer for coarse size, Filter is more accurate than Strainer.

6.          What is the position of Piston Ring?

Ans.     In 180 degree angle the Top ring, Second ring and Oil ring are fixed. Position the ring approximately 1 inch gap below the neck.

7.          Why Deaerator are placed at Height, In Thermal Power Plant?

Ans.    To build a Very high pressure and the temperature for a boiler feed water pump and it discharge high pressure water to the boiler.
And to provide the required Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) for the BFW pump and to serve as a storage tank to ensure a continuous supply of feed water during rapid changes in BFP.

8.          What is meant by One Tonn Air-Conditioner?

Ans.     1 ton refrigeration means 210 kJ/min extracts heat from the system.

9.          State 1st Law of Thermodynamics?

Ans.    Heat and mechanical work are mutually convertible. Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can be transferred from one form to another.

10.          If you heat a steel pipe with the hole at centre, does heat affects the hole diameter?


Ans.     It gets bigger.

Part - 6 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions  1.           Why Entropy decreases with increase in temperature? Ans.      ds=dQ/T Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperature so, as temp. Increases, entropy decreases. 2.            Why different types of sound are produced in different bikes, though they run on SI Engines? Ans.        Engine specifications are different in different manufactures like as Bore Diameter (CC), Ignition timing. Also the exhaust passage takes more responsible for sound. 3.            How much Watt means 1Hp? Ans.       746.2 Watt 4.            Explain Bicycle Rear Wheel Sprocket working? Ans.       Rear wheel sprocket works u...

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...

Chemical compositions of steel

Chemical Composition :-  The chemical composition of steel is of great importance since it determines the potential mechanical properties of the finished steel product and controls the degree of corrosion resistance and weld- ability of the material For this reason structural steel specifications always provide a table of chemical composition limits within which the steel producer must develop his own particular recipe. The purpose of the specified chemical composition is not to provide the detailed chemical formula necessary to produce a certain type of steel but to provide safeguards. The steel producer is informed that he must keep within the limits which are deemed to be acceptable for the type of steel considered. Within these limits, which may be broad or narrow, the steel producer has complete freedom to use his skill and knowledge to make steel with the required mechanical properties. Each producer selects a combination of quantities of elements, which fall within the r...
