Practice questions
These are original preparation questions, not claims about actual company interviews.
What is the difference between stress and strain? Stress is the force applied per unit area within materials, while engineering normal strain is the change in length divided by original length, a dimensionless ratio.
Explain the first law of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of energy conservation, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. The total energy is constant, and energy can only be transformed from one form to another.
What are the different types of gears? Common types of gears include spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, worm gears, and rack and pinion. Each type has specific applications based on the direction of force and the speed of operation.
How does a heat exchanger work? A surface heat exchanger transfers heat between fluid streams through a separating wall; direct-contact exchangers allow contact or mixing. It uses conduction and convection to transfer heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid, improving energy efficiency.
What is the purpose of a flywheel in machinery? A flywheel stores rotational energy and provides continuous energy when the energy source is intermittent. It helps in reducing speed variation by smoothing out fluctuations in energy supply.
Describe the process of CNC machining. CNC machining is a manufacturing process where pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and machinery. It allows for precise control over complex machinery, enabling the production of intricate parts.
