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 under the principle of ratchet and pawl.

5.          Definition of Octane Number and Cetane Number?

 Ans.     Octane No.- Octane number is defined as the percentage, by volume, of iso octane in the mixture of iso octane and h-heptane. It is the measure of rating of SI engine.
Cetane No.- Cetane number is defined as the percentage, by volume, of n-cetane in the mixture of n-cetane and alpha methyl naphthalene. It is the measure of rating of CI engine.

6.         Which Mechanism is used in Automobile gearing System?

 Ans.     Differential mechanism

7.            When Crude Oil is Heated, Which Hydro Carbon comes first?

 Ans.       Natural gas (Gasoline)… at 20 Celsius

8.           How to calculate Bearing number ti Diameter of the inner and outer?

 Ans.      Divide the shaft diameter size by 5, it will give last two digit of the bearing no. and according to type of load we have to choose the type of bearing and that will give prior number of the bearing.

9.           The Fatigue life of a part can be improved by?

 Ans.       Improving the surface finish by Polishing & providing residual stress by Shot peening.

10.          What happens if gasoline is used in a Diesel Engine, Diesel Engine will work?

 Ans.        No, It will not work, as the Compression ratio of Petrol engine is 6 to 10 & that of Diesel engine is 15 to 22. Thus on such high compression, gasoline gets highly compressed & it may blast.

11.          Poisson's Ratio is Higher in, Rubber/Steel/Wood?

 Ans.       When a material is compressed in one direction, it usually tends to expand in the other two directions perpendicular to the direction of compression. This phenomenon is called the Poisson effect. Poisson’s ratio is a measure of the Poisson effect.
For rubber = 0.5
For steel = 0.288
For wood < 0.2

Thus Poisson’s ratio is higher in RUBBER.

'NICK' BREAK (BEND) TEST

'NICK' BREAK (BEND) TEST Object :  As for fillet weld fracture, used on butt welds. Method: The specimen is cut transversely to the weld, and a saw cut is applied along the center of the weld face. The best place for the cut is at a start I stop. The specimen is fractured by bending or by hammer blows. The nick bend test will find internal defects. Reporting Results: Thickness of material.  Width of specimen.  Location of fracture.  Appearance of joint after fracture.

Rockwell Hardness Test

Rockwell Hardness Test The Rockwell hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond cone or hardened steel ball indenter. The indenter is forced into the test material under a preliminary minor load FO usually I 0 kgf. When equilibrium has been reached, an indicating device, which follows the movements of the indenter and so responds to changes in depth of penetration of the indenter is set to a datum position. While the preliminary minor load is still applied an additional major load is applied with resulting increase in penetration . When equilibrium has again been reach, the additional major load is removed but the preliminary minor load is still maintained. Removal of the additional major load allows a partial recovery, so reducing the depth of penetration. The permanent increase in depth of penetration, resulting from the application and removal of the additional major load is used to calculate the Rockwell hardness number.        ...

HARDNESS TEST

HARDNESS TEST Hardness is the property of a material that enables it to resist plastic deformation, usually by penetration. However, the term hardness may also refer to resistance to bending, scratching, abrasion or cutting. Measurement of Hardness: Hardness is not an intrinsic material property dictated by precise definitions in terms of fundamental units of mass, length and time. A hardness property value is the result of a defined measurement procedure. Hardness of materials has probably long been assessed by resistance to scratching or cutting. An example would be material B scratches material C, but not material A. Alternatively, material A scratches material B slightly and scratches material C heavily. Relative hardness of minerals can be assessed by reference to the Mohs Scale that ranks the ability of materials to resist scratching by another material. Similar methods of relative hardness assessment are still commonly used today. An example is the file test where ...
