Chemical Machining is the process of removal of material from the workpiece using chemical reactions by immersing the workpiece into a chemical solution.Chemical Machining is a process used for metal removal purpose by dissolution in a controlled manner from the workpiece by the application of acidic or alkaline solution and this solution is called etchant.The chemical…
A spark ignition (SI) engine is a type of internal combustion engine in which the air-fuel mixture is ignited using a spark from the spark plug.The compression ratio of this engine is usually 6 to 10.The SI Engine is commonly used in light-duty vehicles like motorcycles, cars, etc.These engines are commonly known as gasoline engines…
A pump is a mechanical device or hydraulic machine that converts mechanical energy to hydraulic energy. The pump gives pressure energy to the fluid at its outlet.A reciprocating pump is a special type of pump in which the reciprocating motion of a piston is used to pump water to the required area.Reciprocating pumps are mainly…
This process is named as vapour compression refrigeration system because the vapour is compressed in this system to produce refrigeration.Vapour Compression Refrigeration Systems are the most commonly used refrigeration system among all the refrigeration system.In this system, the working fluid undergoes phase change twice from liquid to vapour and again from vapour to liquid.In this type of…
Impulse Turbine is defined as the turbine in which high-velocity jets of water or steam hits the blades of the turbine to rotate the turbine and produce electricity using this rotation. The impulse turbine is named so because it acts on the impulsive force created during the striking of the water jet to the turbine blades.In the impulse…
Axial Flow Compressor is a type of compressor in which the working fluid flows parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor or axially.In this compressor, the working fluid is compressed by first accelerating the fluid and then diffusion it to increase its pressure. Compressors are mechanical devices used to compress fluids. In other words, they…
The differential manometer is used to measure the difference in pressure between two points in a pipe or in two pipes.The pressure at these two points is measured using two piezometers. This differential manometer is also used to measure the pressure difference between two containers. The differential manometer can be used to measure the flow…
Radial Drilling Machine is used to drill medium to large and heavy workpieces. This machine is used to drill holes in the given radial distance. It is mainly used when the component size is large in height. Radial Drilling machine is mainly made for drilling holes in heavy jobs or workpieces. Since heavy jobs cannot…
Joule Cycle is thermodynamic cycle using constant pressure heat addition and rejection. Fuel and compressor are used to heat and increase the pressure of the gas, the gas expands and spins the blade of the turbine which produces electricity.Joule Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle which represents the operation of constant pressure heat engine. It is…
Plasma Arc Machining is used to remove material from the workpiece. In this process, a high velocity jet of high-temperature gas is used to melt and remove material from the workpiece. This high velocity of hot gas is also known as plasma jet.When a gas or air is heated at a temperature of more than…
