Vibration and noise are common challenges in mechanical systems, affecting performance, safety, and comfort. Whether in automotive engines, industrial machinery, or household appliances, excessive vibration and noise can lead to structural damage, reduced efficiency, and an unpleasant user experience. This article explores the causes of vibration and noise, their impact, and the engineering techniques used…
Introduction Steam turbines are at the heart of modern power generation. They have been instrumental in converting thermal energy from steam into mechanical energy, which is then used to generate electricity. This article explains the working principles of steam turbines, their components, and their role in power plants. What is a Steam Turbine? A steam…
Evaporator is a heat exchanger which removes the heat from stuffs or foods to be cooled by evaporating (Evaporation condition: BP < Evaporation temperature) the low pressure liquid refrigerant while passing through it. At low pressure, Boiling Point (BP) of refrigerant is low, well below room temperature, thus when exposed to room temperature, liquid refrigerant starts evaporating…
Almost everyone uses a water heater in day to day life. But how many of us have the exact idea of how it works and how the cold water is converted to hot water? What are the elements that are used for this process? Introduction ● We use hot water for various purposes in daily life….
What is the need of high compression ratio? Today every machine is expected to give higher efficiency. When we talk about petrol engine and diesel engine whose thermal efficiency is directly related to ‘compression ratio’. That means if we want to achieve higher thermal performance in terms of efficiency, we should provide high compression ratio for both the engine….
Improving internal combustion engine efficiency is a prime concern today. Engineers have devised many methods like turbocharging, cam-less engines, direct fuel injection, VIT, regenerative braking, etc. In this article we discuss the factors limiting the efficiency of ICE and ways to increase it. Increasing Efficiency ● There is a lot of concern nowadays about the efficiency…
This article will review the basic characteristics of rocket propulsion, including the application of Newton’s Third Law of Motion, types of propellants, forces acting on rockets during flight, and more. ● A rocket is an object that is propelled by the ejection of expanding gases that have been generated from propellants, and that does not depend…
Have you ever wondered ? Why capacity of domestic refrigerator and Air Conditioner (AC) is different though both are refrigeration system? What is the basic difference between them with respect to the cooling capacity? The capacity of domestic refrigerator is normally rated in ‘Litre’. Litre actually a unit of volume and it is also applicable to the domestic refrigerator…
Ans: NO, Rather, temperature of the room will increase over the time, not instantly. Why? To understand this, let us first understand the working of domestic refrigerator. It contains four different equipment namely compressor, condenser, capillary tube and evaporator and it also has refrigerant or working fluid/medium which continuously circulating through all these four different equipment to…
brief procedure about operation of vacuum pumping system. The step by step procedure will ensure the proper functioning of the pump. This procedure is developed based on the reviews and experience of technicians of vacuum pump. Steps: 1. Switch ON mains 2. Switch ON Rotary Pump (RP) 3. Make sure Combination Valve (CV) is in CLOSE position and allow the…
