The manufacturing industry is pacing at breakneck speed, and innovations, too are so focused that every segment of manufacturing right from designs to finishing processes have uplifted pointedly. Industry pioneers project two major factors that are driving these innova…

Disc brakes were mostly used in motocross, however, they have recently been used in off-road bikes as well, such as mountain bikes. Since the disc provides a powerful brake, they are ideal for all weather and terrain, as well as for trail riding. Rather than using so…

When deciding on which heat-transfer fluid best suits your needs, there are some crucial factors to take into account. In solar water heating systems, these fluids are responsible for transporting heat through heat exchangers and solar collectors to the heat storage ta…

A plate and frame heat exchanger (PHE) is often a preferred option because of excellent heat transfer capability. When using this type of unit, there are several critical factors that should be considered. For example, if the plate and frame heat exchanger will be used…

Like many people say that Physics is everywhere, I would say that engineering is everywhere. Without the word “Engineering” nothing is complete. If you buy a simple needle from a store, you will find great work of engineering in that as well. This needle is just a tiny…

Going through the strenuous course of completing a B. Tech degree is definitely an achievement. But for a mechanical engineer the struggle doesn’t end there. Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It is also referred to as the mother of en…

It is no doubt that earth moving equipment is expensive; thus, plenty of businesses within the construction industry choose to rent than buying one. Leasing is indeed a very practical option since it will relieve businesses of expensive ownership responsibilities. Be r…

The common rail is the most essential component of the direct fuel injection system. Its role consists in accumulating highly pressurized fuel and distributing it to the injectors. The next-generation diesel and gasoline engines tend to become smaller and lighter f…

The ease with which the machining can be done is called the machinability of the work material. The machinability of work material is influenced by the following parameters: The properties of the work material. The cutting forces induced during machining. …

Oil is used to protect the engine of a automobile. When it comes to car engines, oil has proved to be an essential product since it controls the inner activities that occur within the engine. Lack of enough oil in a car engine leads to overheating as well as wearing do…

The process of welding and cutting metals involves the application of high heat energy to the objects being welded or cut. This high amount of heat energy for the welding process is obtained from the use of inflammable gases (such as acetylene, hydrogen, etc.) or elec…

Different methods of refrigeration are Dry ice refrigeration Evaporative refrigeration Thermo-electric refrigeration Steam jet refrigeration Liquid gas refrigeration and Vortex tube system of refrigeration Each of the above refrigeration …

Lagrange-d’Alembert principle is generally known as D’Alembert’s principle, stated by French physicist and mathematician polymath Jean le Rond d’Alembert. According to d’Alembert’s principle, the external forces acting on a body and the resultant inertia forces on a…

Pipes are circular in cross-section, identical to the shape of a roll of paper towels. We typically use pipes in our homes to distribute water from the water tank to various areas, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Three different types of fluid flow are written in br…

Selecting the factor of safety to be used for various applications is one of the most critical engineering tasks. On the one hand, if a factor of safety is chosen too small, the possibility of failure becomes unacceptably large; on the other hand, if a factor of safety…

General characteristics of different forming and shaping processes such as flat rolling, shape rolling, drawing, extrusion, forging, forming and shaping of ceramics, sheet-metal forming, powder metallurgy and processing of plastics & composite materials . S.no…

Brittle fracture is a significant concern in Industrial Damage Mechanism and is characterized by a sudden fracture in the material under stress. Typically, all construction materials are susceptible to damage and efforts have been made to prevent failures in equipment …

Hydraulic turbines are Machines that convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy runs an electric generator directly coupled to the turbine's shaft. The generator generates electric power, sometimes known as hydroelectric power. Generall…

A key is a machine element fitted in an axial direction into the mating member, such as pulleys, gears. The key's primary function is to prevent the relative rotation between the shaft and mating member. In most applications, the keys' secondary function is to…
