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.

DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

DESTRUCTIVE TESTING Destructive tests on raw materials, welded joints are usually made as part of the approval of material/ welding procedure or a welder. Commonly used destructive tests are: Hardness  Bend  Tensile Charpy Fracture tests Macro section TYPES OF TEST Quantitative (For measuring a 'quantity')  Tensile Charpy Hardness C.T.O.T. (crack tip opening test) Qualitative (For assessing joint 'quality') Bend test Nick break  Macro Fillet fracture The test pieces are cut from the test weld and their location is often specified in the standard. The areas for test are shown below.

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.        ...

LIQUID (DYE) PENETRATION TEST (D.P.T.)

LIQUID (DYE) PENETRATION TEST INTRODUCTION A liquid penetrant test is non-destructive type of testing to detect flaws that are open to the surface. e.g. cracks, seams, laps, lack of bond, porosity, cold shuts etc. can be effectively used not only in the inspection of ferrous metals but is especially useful for non-ferrous metal products and on non-porous, non-metallic materials such as ceramics, plastics and glass. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The principle of liquid penetrant test is that the liquids used enter small openings such as cracks or porosities by capillary action. They are influenced by factors such as the condition of the surface of material and the interior of the discontinuity. For liquid to penetrate effectively, the surface of the material must be thoroughly cleaned of all material that would obstruct the entrance of the liquid into the defect. After cleaning, the liquid penetrant is applied evenly over the surface and allowed to remain long enough to permit penetration i...
