Q6. Stress Strain Curve Explain
Ans. 
The stress-strain curve shows the relationship between stress (force applied) and strain (resulting deformation) in a material.
• The curve typically consists of three main regions: elastic deformation, plastic deformation, and fracture.

• In the elastic region, the material deforms elastically and returns to its original shape when the stress is removed.

• The plastic region is where permanent deformation occurs, but the mater...read more

Q8. How to Calculate velocity of fluid flowing through pipe
Ans. 
Velocity of fluid flowing through a pipe can be calculated using the formula Q = A * V, where Q is the flow rate, A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe, and V is the velocity of the fluid.
• Calculate the cross-sectional area of the pipe using the formula A = π * r^2, where r is the radius of the pipe.

• Determine the flow rate (Q) of the fluid, which is typically measured in cubic meters per second (m^3/s) or liters per...read more

Q9. What is Difference between entropy and enthalpy
Ans. 
Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system, while enthalpy is a measure of the heat energy in a system.
• Entropy is a thermodynamic property that measures the amount of energy in a system that is not available to do work.

• Enthalpy is a thermodynamic property that measures the total heat content of a system.

• Entropy increases in irreversible processes, while enthalpy remains constant.

• Entropy is denoted by S,...read more

Q10. Draw Refrigeration Cycle Graph
Ans. 
The Refrigeration Cycle graph shows the process of cooling a space by transferring heat from inside to outside.
• The cycle starts with the refrigerant entering the compressor as a low-pressure gas.

• The refrigerant is compressed, raising its temperature and pressure, before entering the condenser where it releases heat to the surroundings.

• After losing heat, the refrigerant becomes a high-pressure liquid and flows into the ...read more

Simple aptitude questions

This is a shortlisting round, and many technically knowledgeable individuals did not qualify for this stage.

Q1. Which flow system is more effective: countercurrent flow or concurrent flow, and what are the reasons for this?
Ans. 
Countercurrent flow is more effective due to increased concentration gradient and better utilization of resources.
• Countercurrent flow allows for a greater concentration gradient between the two fluids, leading to more efficient mass transfer.

• Countercurrent flow also allows for better utilization of resources as the fluids are in contact for a longer period of time.

• Concurrent flow, on the other hand, results in a lower ...read more
