Heat Transfer is one of very important topic under mechanical engineering. Actually, many of engineering students feel this as Most Difficult subject of all. But I will suggest not to panic about it. It can become easy and most of all interesting if approached calmly and steadily.
So, Heat Transfer is mainly divided in three topics, [...]
Introduction to Heat Transfer
Introduction to Theory of Machines and Mechanisms-II
This article belongs to series “Mechanical Engineering Guide“. You can easily access other articles at QUICK LINKS page. Here, I have written as per syllabus of University of Pune. Though, syllabus may differ from university to university and even syllabus may change but basic knowledge of subject remains the same. I guess, wherever one must [...]
Advantages and Disadvantages of Casting
Introduction to Casting:
Casting is one of most important manufacturing process. Manufacturing processes mainly come under Mechanical Engineering and Production Engineering. We have discussed Advantages and Disadvantages of this process on various criterion.
Advantages of Casting:
1. On Basis of Size of Object to be Manufactured:
Size of cast objects vary over large range. An object from 5gm to [...]
Notes on Gas Welding
Introduction To Gas Welding:
Arc welding and Gas Welding are two major distinctions in Welding. Both of them have its own merits and demerits. Here we will discuss main things coming under Gas Welding Process like, main flame types, advantages, limitations, flux etc.
Types of Flames Used in the Gas Welding:
Neutral Flame.
Oxidizing Flame.
Carburizing Flame.
1. Neutral Flame:
As [...]
Air Handling Unit In Brief
Air Handling Unit:
Air handling unit is a unit which takes air from atmosphere & discharges air to the required place with predetermined velocity, pressure & relative humidity of air. Generally, AHU consists of inlet & exhaust fan, air handler coils, Duct & air supplying devices.
Air handling unit is inevitable part of air conditioning of buildings [...]
Cooling Needs In Industry
Heat Transfer is one of most important branch of engineering. It is invariably used everywhere around us. Various subjects like Applied Thermodynamics, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning are connected to heat transfer.
Need For Cooling:
Many portions of engines, such as gas turbine engines, become extremely hot during service. Some components are contacted by hot combustion gases whose [...]
Cavitation In Pumps
Cavitation In Pumps:
Cavitation is transient unsteady phenomenon characterized by a growth of holes or cavities. Cavitation creates problem in operation of all three types of centrifugal pumps viz.radial,mixed and axial flow pumps,whenever high discharge,high rotational speed or low head is encountered. Pumps with low specific speed are more susceptible to cavitation as compared to high [...]
Compressed Air Vehicles
Necessity of Compressed Air Vehicles:
As we all know that, world is now facing the huge energy crisis problems. And these problems are going to be more and more severe in near future. The main cause of these problems is CONVENTIONAL FUELS. or rather I must say, High Costs of Conventional Fuels like oil, natural gas, [...]
Future Trends of Automobile Steering System
Automobile Steering System:
Automobile steering is one of most necessary system of any automobile. This is getting better and more better during the years and technological advances. We have already seen some basic automobile steering system like below:
Manual Steering System.
Power Assisted Steering System.
Electro-Hydraulic Steering System.
Below I have discussed some future technological systems related to automobile steering.
1. [...]
Advances in Automobile Steering System
Introduction:
Here, we will discuss one of most important system is any automobile. In this article we will see some of the evolutionary steering designs information.
Automobile Steering Systems:
All of us know, why do this steering system came to evident. So, when automobiles came and started getting developed steering got more and more evolved.
1. Manual Steering System:
It [...]
