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.

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST Object : To determine the amount of energy absorbed in fracturing a standardized test piece at a specified temperature. Method : A machined, notched specimen is broken by one blow from a pendulum. Because scatter occurs in the results, at least three specimens are used to assess the joint represented. Testing is carried out at a temperature specified in the appropriate application standard. Reporting Results: Location and orientation of the notch.  Testing temperature. Energy absorbed in joules.  Description of fracture appearance. Location of any defects. The Charpy impact test, measured in joules, is an assessment of TOUGHNESS. Transition temperature (curve) in steel.

What is Annealing ?

Annealing:- Annealing  Process :- Annealing is a heat treatment process by which the properties of steel are enhanced to meet machinability requirements. In this process Hypoeutectoid steels (less than 0.83% carbon) are heated above upper critical temp., soaked and cooled slowly and  Hypereutecoid (above 0.83%) are heated above lower critical temp., soaked and allowed to cool slowly. Annealing  Process Steps: 1.Heat material into the asutenite region (i.e. above 1600F) – rule of thumb: hold   steel for one hour for each one inch of thickness 2.Slowly furnace cool the steel – DO NOT QUENCH 3.Key slow cooling allows the C to precipitate out so resulting structure is coarse  pearlite with excess ferrite 4.After annealing steel is quite soft and ductile The purpose of Annealing is : 1)Reduce hardness and brittleness 2)Alter microstructure for desired mechanical properties 3)Soften...
