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 sufficient 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.

BEND TESTS

BEND TESTS Object:   To determine the soundness of weld metal, heat affected zone and weld zone.These tests may also be used to give some measure of the ductility of the weld zone. It is not usual to use transverse and longitudinal bend tests for the same application. Method:   All specimens to be removed and prepared without causing significant distortion or heating. The cap and root are ground flush. The specimen is bent by the movement of a former of prescribed diameter, the relevant side of the specimen to be placed in tension. Angle of bend and diameter of former should be as specified in the appropriate standard. Reporting Results: Thickness of specimen Direction of bend (root or face) Angle of bend Diameter of former Appearance of joint after bending e.g. type and location of flaws

ULTRASONIC TEST

ULTRASONIC TEST INTRODUCTION This method is used to test a variety of both metallic & non metallic products such as welds, forgings, castings, sheets, etc. It has an advantage of detecting sub-surface discontinues with accesses to only one side of the specimen. In this method beams of high frequency sound waves are introduced into the material being tested. The sound waves travel through the material with some loss of energy & are reflected back . This is detected & analysed to detect the presence of flaws. This test employs ultrasonic waves. These waves are mechanical waves that consist of oscillations or vibrations. METHOD TRANSMISSION SYSTEM This method employs two Transducers, one for sending & other for receiving the pulses. These may be short or continuous & are transmitted through the material. The result gets displayed on the CRO connected. The settings of the CRO can be adjusted with respect to time & distance. Prior to testing couplant is used to prov...

NDT ( NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING )

NDT (NON DESTRUCTIVE   TESTING) :-  Non Destructive Testing in great variety are in world   wide used to detect variations in structure, minute changes in surface finish, the presence of cracks or other physical discontinuities, measure   the thickness   of materials   and   coatings   and   to   determine  other characteristics of industrial products. REASON'S FOR THE USE OF NDT: "NDT" is used by the manufacturers for the following reasons:  1. To ensure product reliability. 2. To make profit for the user. a)    To ensure customer satisfaction b)   To aid in better product reliability. c)    To control the manufacturing processes. d)   To lower the manufacturing costs. e)    To maintain uniform quality level. SOME OF THE MOST COMMON NDT METHODS ARE : 1.VISUAL ...
