A clutch is an instrument which is used to engage and disengage the engine with the gearbox.The clutch in which two or more than two clutch plates are used is called multi-plate clutch.There are many plates in multi-plate clutch so that we can transfer maximum amount of torque.Adding plates to cutch to create multi-plate clutch…
Based on different conditions, fluid flow is divided into following types :- 1) Steady and Unsteady Flow: i) Steady Flow:A flow is said to be steady flow if different fluid properties and fluid velocity does not change with respect to time. If R is the set of fluid properties and V is the set of…
Lancashire Boiler is a horizontal, low pressure, internally fired, stationary fire tube and natural circulation boiler.This boiler was invented in the year 1844 by William Fairbairn.William Fairbairn was a Scottish civil engineer.It is called internally fired because the furnace is present inside the boiler.The main purpose of this boiler is to produce steam and this…
A locomotive boiler is a steel shell containing water which is converted into steam by the heat of the fire in the firebox to furnish energy to move the locomotive.It is a horizontal, multi-tubular, internally fired, natural circulation boiler.An artificial steam jet draught is present in this boiler for increasing the heat transfer rate which…
Centrifugal casting is the process of casting in which centrifugal force is used for the casting process. It is also called roto casting.Before knowing about centrifugal casting, you must know what is a centrifugal force:Centrifugal force is the force that is felt by any object moving in a curved path and is directed radially outward.Centrifugal Casting was invented…
Fluidized bed combustion is the process of combustion of solid fuels. In this process, the solid fuel is fluidized for better combustion. Fluidization is the process in which a granular material is converted from a static solid state to a dynamic fluid like state.In this process, the solid fuel i.e coal is fluidized using pressurized air by putting the…
