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.

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...

VISUAL INSPECTION OF WELDING

VISUAL  INSPECTION OF WELDING INTRODUCTION Inspection starts with examination of the material prior to fabrication, scabs, seams, scale or other harmful surface conditions may be detected in visual inspection. The inspector should check the following : Weld preparation, dimensions and finish.  Clearance dimensions of backing strips.  Alignment and fit up to the pieces being welded.  Verification of cleanliness.  Visual Inspection During Welding Visual inspection checks details of the work while welding is in progress. Among the details to be checked are : Welding process.  Cleaning.  Preheat and inter pass temperature.  Joint preparation.  Filler metal.  Flux or shielding gas.  Chipping, grinding, or gouging.  Post heating temperature and time.  Visual Inspection After Welding Visual inspection is useful for finished-product verification of such items as : Profile irregularities of the weldment....

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 ...
