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.

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...

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...

Part -2 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions 1. What is the difference between Critical Speed and Whirling Speed? Ans. In Solid mechanics, in the field of rotor dynamics, the critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity which excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft, propeller or gear. As the speed of rotation approaches the objects natural frequency, the object begins to resonate which dramatically increases system vibration. The resulting resonance occurs regardless of orientation.Whirling Speed is due to the unbalanced forces acting on a rotating shaft. 2. How a Diesel Engine Works as Generator? Ans. Diesel engine is a prime mover, for a generator, pump,and for vehicles etc. generator is connected to engine by shaft. mostly in thermal power plat ,there is an engine is used to drive generator to generate power. 3. Explain Second Law of Thermodynamics? Ans. The entropy of the universe increases over tim...
