Mechanical Engineering MCQs prepared for job test and interview preparation, especially for fresh graduates, students, and candidates appearing in competitive exams. These multiple-choice questions cover key topics such as Machine Design, Theory of Machines, Hydraulic Machines, and other important mechanical engineering concepts.

Auto-ignition temperature is____________________?
A minimum temperature to which oil is heated in order to give off inflammable vapours in sufficient quantity to ignite momentarily when brought in contact with a flame
B temperature at which it solidifies or congeals
C that at which it catches fire without external aid
D indicated by 90% distillation temperature, i.e., when 90% of sample oil has distilled off
Correct Answer: that at which it catches fire without external aid

B mixture of normal heptane and iso-oc-tane
C alpha methyl napthalene
D mixture of methane and ethane
Correct Answer: mixture of normal heptane and iso-oc-tane
Ethyl fluid is used_______________________?
A to increase the octane rating of the fuel
B to increase the cetane rating of the fuel
C as a defrosting agent
D as a superior type of fluid compared to others
Correct Answer: to increase the octane rating of the fuel
Normal heptane_______________?
A accelerates auto-ignition
B helps to resist auto-ignition
C does not affect auto-ignition
D has no relation with auto-ighition
