High-pressure steam is used in a steam engine for greater efficiency and less space per horsepower.Now with the use of this high-pressure the range of expansion is correspondingly increased.If full expansion takes place in the single-cylinder the walls of the…
The variables which determine the state are known as properties.In Thermal Engineering, state means the exact condition of a substance.Also, these properties are sub-divided into principal properties and fundamental properties. Pressure VolumeTemperatureThe above properties are also known as basic properties as they may…
Steam is a gaseous form of liquid.When any liquid is heated at a constant temperature, it starts changing in vapor conditions.A vapor is a mixture of gas and liquid particles in suspension and it can be liquefied by moderate changes…
Knowing about steam engine parts, make you familiar with the steam engine.Steam engines are used widely in engineering up to 1930 for the generation of power.Nowadays it is replaced by an internal combustion engine.The diesel engine and the petrol engine is the…
Inspection of Steam Boiler is a must activity should be carried out as per Govt. Guidelines.As steam is an essential utility to perform various operations.Steam is required for power generation through a steam turbine or steam engine. Steam is also…
In the engineering Plant, the Cast Iron is obtained by re-melting Pig Iron with Coke and Limestone in Cupola Furnace.It is primarily an alloy of Iron and Carbon. So, The Carbon content varies from 1.7 to 4.5 %.It also contains small amounts…
The mechanical properties of the material you are selecting for components are most important for the successful running of a machine.In engineering, Mechanical Properties of the Metals are those properties that are associated with the ability of the Material to Resist Mechanical…
Considerations in machine designing mean the important points to keep in mind while designing the components.There is no limit to considerations in designing a machine and its components.In engineering, a machine design engineer has to keep various points for the successful design of…
Every Machine Design Engineer tried his level best to overcome the possible problems; hence you can call Machine Design a continuous process.In Designing the Machine Components, there is no rigid rule in engineering. So the problem may be attempted in several…
A Surge Tank is an essential part of a Hydro-Electric Power Plant. In Hydro-Electric Power Plant Water is used to generate power by using some Hydraulic Machines.For the smooth operation of the Power Plant, some necessary engineering arrangements are required.Hence Surge Tank is one…
