Example: Moon revolving around the sun (although it's technically elliptical not perfectly circular)

-speed is constant but velocity changes constantly since the vector changes direction but not magnitude.

What is the difference between eccentric and concentric reducer?

Concentric reducers are a symmetrical, conical shaped device that enlarges or reduces a pipes diameter equally about the centerline. An Eccentric reducer is not Symmetrical about the centerline. For example, envision the flow through a gravity based pipe... picture it in terms of an elevation section view... the eccentric reducer maintains the flowline (a straight continuous line along the bottom) while the pipe size decreases from the top down.


What is the function of a Cam?

A cam is a rotating component used in a mechanism in order to transform a movement from a circular to a reciprocating motion. A crank performs the opposite action. A common example of a cam mechanism is that found on a car engine where the camshaft translates the rotary motion of the engine into a reciprocating motion to operate the intake and exhaust valves on the engine cylinders. Please see the related links for an example animation and more detailed explanation.


Why concentric reducer is used in pump discharge?

The pump discharge reducer doesn't matter if it's concentric or eccentric. It's the pump SUCTION that needs to be an eccentric reducer that is always flat on top (F.O.T.) The eccentric reducer on the pump suction reduces pump cavatation (pump catching air).


What is example of Whitworth quick return mechanism?

Whitworth quick return mechanism is a device where reciprocation motion in forward stroke is slower then the return stroke.


What is the difference between rotary motion and reciprocating motion?

In very crude terms, rotary motion is round & round, reciprocating motion is back & forth. A piston engine has both kinds of motion. The crankshaft displays rotary motion, the pistons display reciprocating motion. The camshaft displays rotary motion, the valves display reciprocating motion. Out on the suspension, the wheels display rotary motion and the shock absorbers display reciprocating motion. (One might say the shocks don't display "true" reciprocating motion because they're not CONSTANTLY in motion, but that one drives on better roads than they have here!)
