Difference between a mechanical coupling and mechanical joint?

mechanical coupling can be called as a mechanical device which is used to connect two mechanical links as well as transmit power between them. mechanical joint is just used to joint two linkages . there is no power or torque transmission between them .


What is the difference between screw chiller and reciprocating chillers?

screw is low maintenance than reciprocating reciprocating is more saving for power supply the compressors in screw is semehermatic but in reciprocating is open


Which process will lead to larger work output isothermal process or polytropic process with n1.25?

The process equation for this is PV up to the nth power which equals C. The polytrophic process is 1.25 which is the n in the equation.


What is the difference between thermal power plant and captive thermal power plant?

The basis of differentiation is end user. A thermal power plant produces electricity to sell the same to different end users through grid. But, in case of a captive thermal power plant generation of electricity generally is to meet the demand of power by the parent industry. For e.g. an Alumunium smelter plant requires huge quntity of elctric energy to operate. To secure undisrupted source of energy it may set up its own power plant which in turn can be termed as the captive power plant. But, in certain cases excess electricity can be sold to the market.


What is the difference between inverters and alternators?

To keep it simple, an alternator (like the one in a car) takes rotating mechanical energy and creates AC electricity. An inverter is usually just an electrical converter. It takes DC power (like the battery in a car, or camper) and produces AC electricity.
