4 Things to avoid during interview If you've applied for a job and are lucky enough to score an interview, don't let one mistake ruin your chances of getting the job. A LinkedIn survey of more than 550 hiring managers found that when it comes to a job interview, even small mistakes can put a candidate out of the running. Here are four things you should never be caught doing, according to the survey: 4. Checking your phone Even the slightest glance at your phone during a job interview could cost you. More than one out of every three hiring managers polled said they would eliminate a candidate for looking at his or her cell. Checking your phone gives the impression that you're not totally there mentally and don't respect the person sitting right in front of you. Be safe and before the interview, turn your phone, and it's thousands of notifications, off. 3. Looking disheveled Nearly half of interviewers — 46 percent, to be exact — said they had el...

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 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. ·           Why entropy decreases with the increase in temperature? ds=dQ/T Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperatu...

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions What are the different types of fits? Explain? On the basis of Indian standards fits can mainly be categorised into three groups: > Clearance Fit : These types of fits are characterised by the occurrence of a clearance between the two mating parts. The difference between the minimum size of the hole and the maximum size of the shaft is called the minimum clearance, the difference between the maximum size of the hole and the minimum size of the shaft is known as maximum clearance. > Interference Fit : In these types of fits the size of the mating parts are predefined so that interference between them always occurs. The tolerance zone of the hole is completely below the tolerance zone of the shaft. > Transition Fit : As the name suggests these type of fit has its mating parts sized limited to allow either clearance or interference. The tolerance zone of the hole and the shaft overlaps in case of such fits. For a shaf...

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 u...

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer 1. Why the Centrifugal Pump is called High Discharge pump? Ans. Centrifugal pump is a kinetic device. The centrifugal pump uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid. So the liquid entering the pump receives kinetic energy from the rotating impeller. The centrifugal action of the impeller accelerates the liquid to a high velocity, transferring mechanical (rotational) energy to the liquid. So it discharges the liquid in high rate. It is given in the following formulae: Centrifugal force F= (M*V2)/R. Where, M-Mass V-Velocity R-Radius 2. How Cavitation can be eliminated by Pump? Ans. Cavitation means bubbles are forming in the liquid. To avoid Cavitation, we have to increase the Pump size to One or Two Inch To increase the pressure of the Suction Head  Decrease the Pump Speed. 3. Why Cavitation will occur in Centrifugal Pump and not in Displacement Pump? Ans. The form...

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer 1.          What is Difference between stamina and strength? Ans.     Strength is capability over a short length of time and Stamina is the ability to keep going continuously. 2.          What is Hydro-static System? Ans.     Hydrostatics is the study of fluid bodies that are At rest Moving su ffi cient slowly so there is no relative motion between adjacent parts of the body For hydrostatic situations There are no shear stresses There are only pressure forces that act perpendicular to any surface. It’s a closed loop hydraulic systems. It comprises of motor and pump. Here pump supplies energy to motor and motor gives return energy to pump supply. 3.          What is Cotter joint? Ans.      A cotter j...

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer 1. What is the difference between Technology and Engineering? Ans. Engineering is application of science. Technology shows various methods of Engineering. A bridge can be made by using beams to bear the load,by an arc or by hanging in a cable; all shows different technology but comes under civil engineering and science applied is laws of force/load distribution. 2. How to Measure Temperature in Wet Bulb Thermometer? Ans. Wet bulb temperature is measured in a wet bulb thermometer by covering the bulb with a wick and wetting it with water. It corresponds to the dew point temperature and relative humidity. 3. What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of using LPG in Car? Ans. Advantages 1. Complete combustion 2. Fuel saving 3. Homogenous combustion Disadvantages 1. As complete combustion is occurring ,more heat liberated,not advised for long journey, engine will be over heated 2. In...

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions 1. What is the difference between Critical Speed and Whirling Speed? Ans. In Solid mechanics, in the field of rotor dynamics, the critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity which excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft, propeller or gear. As the speed of rotation approaches the objects natural frequency, the object begins to resonate which dramatically increases system vibration. The resulting resonance occurs regardless of orientation.Whirling Speed is due to the unbalanced forces acting on a rotating shaft. 2. How a Diesel Engine Works as Generator? Ans. Diesel engine is a prime mover, for a generator, pump,and for vehicles etc. generator is connected to engine by shaft. mostly in thermal power plat ,there is an engine is used to drive generator to generate power. 3. Explain Second Law of Thermodynamics? Ans. The entropy of the universe increases over tim...

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions 1. What is the importance of the Thermodynamics in the field of Mechanical Engineering? All the mechanical engineering systems are studied with the help of thermodynamics. Hence it is very important for the mechanical engineers. 2. How many Laws of Thermodynamics are there? There are three laws of the thermodynamics. First Law : Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.In any process in an isolated system, the total energy remains the same. Second Law : When two isolated systems in separate but nearby regions of space, each in thermodynamic equilibrium in itself, but not in equilibrium with each other at first, are at some time allowed to interact, breaking the isolation that separates the two systems, and they exchange matter or energy, they will eventually reach a mutual thermodynamic equilibrium. The sum of the entropy's of the initial, isolated systems is less than or equal to the entropy of the ...
