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.

MAGNETIC PARTICLE EXAMINATION (M.P.I.)

MAGNETIC PARTICLE EXAMINATION (M.P.I.) INTRODUCTION This method is used for detecting cracks and other discontinuities open to surface or sub surface in ferromagnetic materials. Fine magnetic particles are applied to the surface of a part which has been suitably magnetized. The particles are attracted to regions of magnetic non-uniformity associated with defects and discontinuities, thus producing indication which are observed visually. PRINCIPLE When a piece of metal is placed in a magnetic field and the lines of magnetic flux get intersected by a discontinuity such as a crack or slag inclusion in a casting, magnetic poles are induced on either side of the discontinuity. The discontinuity causes an abrupt change in the path of magnetic flux flowing through the casting normal to the discontinuity, resulting a local flux leakage field and interfering with the magnetic lines of force. This local flux disturbance can be detected by its affect upon magnetic particles that collect o...

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....

Vickers Hardness Test

Vickers Hardness Test:- The Vickers hardness test method consists of indenting the test material with a diamond indenter, in the form of a right pyramid with a square base and an angle of 136 degrees between opposite faces subjected to a load of I to I 00 kgf. The full load is normally applied for I 0 to 15 seconds. The two diagonals of the indentation left in the surface of the material after removal of the load are measured using a microscope and their average calculated. The area of the sloping surface of the indentation is calculated. The Vickers hardness is the quotient obtained by dividing the kgf load by the square mm area of indentation. F= Load in kgf d = Arithmetic mean of the two diagonals, di and d2 in mm HV = Vickers hardness When the mean diagonal of the indentation has been determined the Vickers hardness may be calculated from the formula, but is more convenient to use conversion tables. The Vickers hardness should be reported like 800 HV/10, which means a Vickers...
