Interview Questions & Answers for Automobile

company...Part 1
 What happens if gasoline is used in a Diesel engine?Diesel
engine will work ?
No, It will not work,as the Compression ratio of Petrol engine is 6 to 10 & that of
Diesel engine is 15 to 22. Thus on such high compression, gasoline gets highly
compressed & it may blast.

 Which Mechanism is used in Automobile gearing system

Differential mechanism

 Why different types of sound are produced in different bikes

though they say run on SI engine
Engine specifications are different in different manufactures like as Bore
Diameter(CC), Ignition timing.Also the exhaust passage take more responsible for
sound.

 Why entropy decreases with the increase in temperature?

ds=dQ/TEntropy is inversely proportional to the temperature so.as temp.
increases,entropy decreases.

 1 hp how much watt?

746.2Watt

o How to calculate bearing number to diameter of the inner

and outer
Divide the shaft diameter size by 5, it will give last two digitof the bearing no. and
according to type of load we have tochose the type of bearing and that will give
prior no. ofthe bearing.

o Explain Bicycle rear wheel Sprocket working?

Rear wheel sprocket works under the principle of ratchet and pawl.

o Definition of Octane number & Cetane number

 Octane No.- Octane number is defined as the percentage, by volume, of iso octane
in the mixture of iso octane and h-heptane. It is the measure of rating of SI engine.

Cetane No.- Cetane number is defined as the percentage, by volume, of n-cetane

in the mixture of n-cetane and alpha methyl naphthalene. It is the measure of
rating of CI engine.

o Poisons ratio is higher in (rubber/steel/wood)

When a material is compressed in one direction, it usuallytends to expand in the
other two directions perpendicular tothe direction of compression. This
phenomenon is called thePoisson effect. Poisson’s ratio is a measure of the Poisson
effect.

For rubber = 0.5

For steel = 0.288

For wood < 0.2

Thus Poisson’s ratio is higher in RUBBER.

o The Fatigue life of a part can be improved by ?

Improving the surface finish by Polishing & providing residual stress by Shot
peening.

o When crude oil heated Which Hydro carbon comes first?

Natural gas(Gasoline)… at 20 Celsius

o 1hp=how much rpm

We need Torque to find out.

Apply this formula:

T = HP x 5252 rpm

T = torque (in lb-ft)

HP = horsepower
5252 = constant
rpm = revolutions per minute

o which mechanism is used in automobile gearing system

 Differential mechanism

 why different types of sound are produced in different bikes
though they say run on SI engine?

sound.

 why entropy decreases with the increase in temperature?

ds=dQ/T

Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperature so.as temp.

increases,entropy decreases

 What type of metal is used in a propeller

Aluminium,stainless steel,magnesium bronze,NIBRAL(nickel,brass,aluminium)

 why involute curve used in gear

1) it’s smooth to drive the gear.
2) in gears contact is only point, this type is curve take the more load than
normal one

 How Trains take turns, though there is no any differential

Purpose of the differential is to enable vehicles to take turn, by allowing both
the wheel to rotate with different speed. This is required when wheels, like in
car, are connected with same axle. Interestingly, wheel in trains are not
connected with the axle, they are independent and hence can take turns
without ant differential. This is same as how the bullock cart takes turns,
without any differential.

 Why freezer in the fridge is placed in top level?

 Because density of cold air is higher than warm air,hence itis placed at top.Cold
air comes downward & cool the bottom part.

 what is more dangerous longitudinal stress or Hoop stress and

why?
Hoop stress is more dangerous than longitudinal stress, because the dangerous
area coming under the hoop stress is circumferential,while in longitudinal,the
axial area will come under dangerous area will will be less than circumferential
area.So the hoop stress is more dangerous than longitudinal stress.
