Practice questions

These are practice questions, not verified company interview questions.

1. Explain the difference between stress and strain. Stress is the force applied to a material, divided by the material's cross-sectional area, while engineering normal strain is change in length divided by original length and is dimensionless.

2. What is the significance of the Reynolds number in fluid mechanics? The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity used to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations. It helps determine whether the flow will be laminar or turbulent.

3. 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 and cooling processes.

4. What are the key considerations in machine design? Key considerations include material selection, load analysis, safety factors, and cost-effectiveness to ensure the machine performs its intended function efficiently and safely.

5. 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 used to create complex shapes that would be difficult to achieve with other manufacturing methods.

6. What is the role of a flywheel in machinery? A flywheel stores rotational energy and reduces speed variation in machinery by smoothing out fluctuations in energy supply or demand.
