Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions
·
What
happens if gasoline is used in a Diesel engine?Diesel engine will work ?
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.
·
Which
Mechanism is used in Automobile gearing system
Differential mechanism
·
Why
entropy decreases with the increase in temperature?
ds=dQ/TEntropy is
inversely proportional to the temperature so.as temp. increases,entropy
decreases.
·
1 hp
how much watt?
746.2Watt
·
How to
calculate bearing number to diameter of the inner and outer
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 chose the type
of bearing and that will give prior no. of the bearing.
·
Explain
Bicycle rear wheel Sprocket working?
Rear wheel sprocket works under the principle of ratchet
and pawl.
·
Definition
of Octane number & Cetane number
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.
·
What
is important to remember about radial bearings?
A turbine rotor is supported by two radial bearings, one on
each end of the steam cylinder. These bearings must be accurately aligned to
maintain the close clearance between the shaft and the shaft seals, and between
the rotor and the casing. If excessive bearing wear lowers the he rotor, great
harm can be done to the turbine.
·
How
many governors are needed for safe turbine operation? Why?
Two independent governors are needed for safe turbine
operation. One is an over speed or emergency trip that shuts off the steam at
10 percent above running speed (maximum speed). The second, or main governor,
usually controls speed at a constant rate; however, many applications have
variable speed control.
·
How
is a fly ball governor used with a hydraulic control?
As the turbine speeds up, the weights are moved outward by
centrifugal force, causing linkage to open a pilot valve that admits and
releases oil on either side of a piston or on one side of a spring-loaded
piston. The movement of the piston controls the steam valves.
·
What
is meant by critical speed?
It is the speed at which the machine vibrates most
violently. It is due to many causes, such as imbalance or harmonic vibrations
set up by the entire machine. To minimise damage, the turbine should be hurried
through the known critical speed as rapidly as possible. (Caution, be sure the
vibration is caused by critical speed and not by some other trouble).
·
How
is oil pressure maintained when starting or stopping a medium-sized turbine?
An auxiliary pump is provided to maintain oil pressure.
Some auxiliary pumps are turned by a hand crank; others are motor-driven. This
pump is used when the integral pump is running too slowly to provide pressure,
as when starting or securing a medium-sized turbine.
·
Besides
lubrication, what are two functions of lubricating oil in some turbines?
In larger units, lube oil cools the bearings by carrying
off heat to the oil coolers. Lube oil in some turbines also acts as a hydraulic
fluid to operate the governor speed-control system.
·
Do
you stop cooling-water flow through a steam condenser as soon as the turbine is
slopped?
You should keep the cooling water circulating for about 15
mill or more so that the condenser has a chance to cool down gradually and
evenly. Be sure to have cooling water flowing through the condenser before
starting up in order to prevent live steam from entering the condenser unless
it is cooled. Overheating can cause severe leaks and other headaches.
·
How
can the deposits be removed?
·
How
can the fatigue damage on high-pressure blades be corrected?
Fatigue-damage on high-pressure blades arises due to vibration induced by partial-arc admission. This can be corrected by switching over to full arc admission technique.

·
Why
different types of sound are produced in different bikes though they say run on
SI engine
Engine specifications are different in different
manufactures like as Bore Diameter(CC), Ignition timing.Also the exhaust
passage take more responsible for sound.

·
How
can the deposits be removed?
- Water
soluble deposits may be washed off with condensate or wet steam.
- Water
insoluble deposits are removed mechanically after dismantling the turbine.
- Experience
shows that water soluble deposits are embedded in layers of
water-insoluble deposits. And when the washing process is carried out,
water soluble parts of the deposit dissolve away leaving a loose, friable
skeleton of water-insoluble deposits which then break loose and wash
away.
·

Fatigue-damage on high-pressure blades arises due to vibration induced by partial-arc admission. This can be corrected by switching over to full arc admission technique.
