INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:-

1.) How shear forces are incurred in fluid flow?

Ans: Shear forces between fluid particles and boundary walls and between the fluid particles themselves, result from the viscosity of the real fluid.

2.) In straight polarity, to which terminal the electrode is connected?

Ans: Negative.

3.). Define flow work.

Ans: Flow work is the amount of mechanical energy required to push or force a flowing fluid across a section boundary.

Ans: While machining ductile materials at high speed


5.). what is the effect of creep of belt in belt drive?

Ans: It decreases speed of driven pulley and the power output.

6.). what is the difference between kinetics and kinematics?

Ans: While kinematics studies the motion of a body without regard to the mass of body and forces acting on it, kinetics does not consider mass or forces.

7.) What is the difference between couple and angular momentum and how they are related ?

Ans: Couple is product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration. Angular momentum is the product of moment of inertia and angular speed. Time rate of change of angular
momentum of body is equal to external couple acting on the body.

Ans.-ATFT means Advance Tumble Flow Induction Technology,
Tumble flow means swirling. In this technology fuel air mixture from the carburetor into the engine cylinder with a swirl action. The advantage being one gets a more efficient burning of fuel hence more power and better fuel economy with lesser emissions.

23).Why we do not use same technology to start both SI /CI engine
Ans.-The S.I. or spark ignition engine uses petrol as a fuel and the C.I. or compression ignition engine uses diesel as a fuel. Both the fuels has different compression ratio.
In SI engine the compression ratio is 8-12:1.
In CI engine the compression ratio is 16-22:1.
So in case of SI engine, the compression ratio is not sufficient for fuel to burn so a spark plug is used, whereas in ci engine, the compression ratio is so high that due to its internal heat the fuel is combusted so there is no need for a spark plug. so the technology used in si engine is different from CI engine.

24).What is a Newtonian fluid?
Ans.-A Newtonian fluid possesses a linear stress strain relationship curve and it passes through the origin. The fluid properties of a Newtonian fluid do not change when any force acts upon it.
