 TECHNICAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Question 1. Explain The Reason That Why Big Tyres Are Used In Rear Of Vehicles

Answer : Large tyres provide larger surface area touching the ground, thus providing the more pulling
power. Basically tractors have larger rear tyres because tractors don’t have to operate at higher speeds,
thus getting the same ground speed with larger tyres. Moreover gear ratios don’t have to be as high as b/c
of the tyres.

Question 2. What Is Kingpin Offset? State Some Of Its Application.

Answer : The kingpin offset is the part, basically called as pivot used in the steering of the vehicles. This
offset helps in rotating of the steering and thus it’s very useful in steering mechanism of the cars.

Applications: This is also used to measure scrub radius with the help of geometric parameters of wheel
plane above and below ground level. It provides directional stability to the vehicles when it i combined
with the caster.

Question 3. Explain The Basic Difference Between Bs2 And Bs3 Engine.

Answer : The basic difference of BS2 and BS3 engines is the presence of catalytic convertor. Catalytic
convertor is present in BS3 engine which helps in reducing the formation of HC and CO. While in BS2
engine, no catalytic convertor is present which forms HC and CO. Thus in BS3 engine there is no
emission of harmful CO and HC. The full form of BS is bharat stage, which is a standard of emission in
India.

Question 4. What Is An Injector Pressure In Heavy Vehicles? Why It Is Used?

Answer : Injector pressure i s the pressure at which the fuel can be injected into the vehicle. In heavy
vehicles, injector pressure is 220 kg/cm square. It is used to set up the standard fuel injection in the
vehicles. With the help of injector pressure we can calculate the amount of fuel needed, through the
following formula:Est. Horsepower x B.S.F.C / No. of injectors x duty cycle = lb/hr per injector

cc = lb/hr x 10.5

Question 5. During The Drive Torque, What Will Be The Weight Shift?

Answer : In case of cars the torque is applied to the rear wheels, thus limiting accelerator due to front
wheel drive due to weight transfer. This drive is bolted to the chassis of the car. Modern manufacturers
therefore design rear wheel drive to have similar handling to front wheel drive wherever possible via
suspension tuning.
Question 6. In A Tractor, How The Hydrostatic Propulsion Systems Work?

Answer : This system is based on Pascal’s law. In a tractor the pressure is same, so the force given by the
liquid to the surrounding is equal to the pressure X area. Thus, obeying the Pascal’s law hydrostatic
propulsion system is designed, similarly small piston feels small force and the large piston feels larger
area.

Question 7. Explain The Reason That Why The Tyres Are Always Black In Colour. Is This
Phenomena Related To The Heat Conduction?

Answer : Tyres colour is black due to the proportion of carbon mixed in it during the vulcanization of the
rubber, to make the tyre shear resistant. Without vulcanization tyres won't be able to bear the friction heat
and stress of the road. Thus carbon is responsible for giving tyres the prominent black colour. Adding of
carbon prevents tyres from rapidly deteriorating because when ozone combines with the ultraviolet light
from the sun. It attacks the polymer of the tyre.

Question 8. What Is Bhp? How Can You Measure Bhp?

Answer : BHP is ‘Brake Horsepower’. It reflects the powerfulness of the brakes of the vehicles. BHP
stands for how much power will be required to make the engine stop working i.e. to stop the rotation of
the engine.

BHP = 2 times pi times torque times revolutions; all this divided by 550. Pi is 3.1416 and torque is in
pounds-feet, and revolutions are revs per second.

Question 9. What Will Happen If Someone Adds Oil To The Fuel Of Four Stroke Bike Engine?

Answer :This will result in damaging of the engine faster. Adding oil will lead to the higher wear and tear
of the cylinder liner,

Question 10. How Will You Differentiate Between Two Stroke Engine And Four Stroke Engine?

Answer : In case of two stroke engine, rotation of crank shaft will be power stroke for every two
rotations. During compression stroke, fuel will flow towards the crank case(suction) and during power
stroke, exhaust will emit the burnt fuel through the transfer ports. While in case of four stroke engine,
rotation of crank shaft will be power stroke for every four rotation. Moreover, suction compression power
and exhaust strokes are separate as there will be inlet and exhaust valves.

Question 11. What Is The Size Of The Recommended Compressor Cfm? Where It Can Be Used?
Answer : It is generally used in spray painting of very small areas. It can be used where painting with
brush is very difficult. thus to improve the rate of painting the spray painting is used as this method is
very fast and efficient. Usually reciprocating compressors are used but size depends on requirements.

Maintenance and Manufacturing Interview Questions

Question 12. What Is The Range Of Engine Efficiency In Case Of Two Stroke Engine?

Answer : The two stroke engines have very high range to be compared to the four stroke engines. Because
power stroke is generated every two revolution while in four stroke, power stroke is generated every four
revolutions.

Question 13. What Do You Understand By Cc Of Engine?

Answer : The meaning of CC is cubic centimeters. It represents the total volume of the engine cylinder.
This reflects that the engines with more CC can generate more powers than the other engines. CC can also
be related as inversely proportional to the fuel consumption.

Question 14. What Is Back Compressor In Engines?

Answer : Back compression means the compression capability of the engine. An diesel engine can
compress at the ratio of 14:1 to as high as 25:1. Thus the higher compression leads to better efficiency of
the engine. Thick black smoke is emitted when the engine’s compression is reduced which leads to the
deformed ead-gasket lead into crankcase.

Question 15. How Air Conditioners Work In Cars?

Answer : Air conditioners are based on the principles of evaporation and condensation and then
compression and expansion. The hot air of the car is removed by the process of evaporation and then the
condensation of the evaporated air takes places which is then further compressed by the compressor and
then finally expanded to us in the form of cold breeze. Somehow, Air conditioning reduces the average of
the car, as the energy is required to remove the hot air and then compression and expansion
