Practice questions

These are practice questions, not verified company interview questions.

1. What is the difference between stress and strain? Stress is the force applied per unit area within materials, while engineering normal strain is change in length divided by original length and is dimensionless.

2. Explain the first law of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. The total energy of the system is constant, and energy can only be transformed from one form to another.

3. What are the different types of gears? Common types of gears include spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, worm gears, and rack and pinion gears, each serving different mechanical functions and applications.

4. How does a heat exchanger work? Surface heat exchangers transfer heat between separated fluid streams; direct-contact exchangers permit mixing. It is commonly used in heating, cooling, and air conditioning systems.

5. What is the Bernoulli's principle? For steady incompressible inviscid flow along a streamline without shaft work, p/ρ + V²/2 + gz is constant. Higher speed implies lower static pressure at equal elevation under these assumptions.

6. Describe the process of metal casting. Metal casting involves pouring molten metal into a mold cavity, allowing it to cool and solidify into the desired shape. It is a fundamental manufacturing process for creating complex metal parts.

Before the interview

• Review your academic projects and be prepared to discuss them in detail.
• Reflect on any internships or practical experiences, focusing on what you learned and how it applies to the role.
• Research ABB India's recent projects, technological advancements, and company values to demonstrate your interest and alignment with their goals.
