Practice questions
These are original preparation questions, not claims about actual company interviews.
What is the principle of a heat exchanger? A heat exchanger transfers heat between fluids. Surface exchangers separate the streams with a wall; direct-contact designs allow mixing. It is commonly used in heating and cooling processes to improve energy efficiency.
Explain the concept of thermodynamic cycles. Thermodynamic cycles are a series of processes that involve heat and work transfer, returning a system to its initial state. They are fundamental in understanding engines and refrigeration systems.
How does a centrifugal pump work? A centrifugal pump uses rotational energy, typically from an electric motor, to move fluid through the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to hydrodynamic energy.
What are the types of stresses in materials? The main types of stresses in materials are tensile, compressive, and shear stress. These stresses affect how materials deform and fail under load.
Describe the Bernoulli's principle. For steady incompressible inviscid flow along a streamline without shaft work, p/ρ + V²/2 + gz is constant. At equal elevation, higher speed therefore corresponds to lower static pressure; losses and pumps require an extended energy balance.
What is the role of a boiler in a thermal power plant? A boiler in a thermal power plant is used to convert water into steam by applying heat energy. The steam is then used to drive turbines for electricity generation.
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 Thermax's recent projects, technologies, and market position to understand their business and potential questions.
- Prepare questions to ask the interviewer about the company culture and growth opportunities.
