Why you need to find out critical speed of a shaft?
CRITICAL SPEED CALCULATION
Thr RPM which numericlly concide with the natural frequency of transverse Vibration of the shaft is Known as critical speed .
Critical speed is a function of mass of rotating component and Stiffness of its material . F=stiffness of rotating component
m=mass of the same
How do you measure the torque of a tightened bolt?
Experience.
-----------------
If the bolt is horizontal :
With weights, you can take a wrench of known length and knowing the torque needed, calculate the amount of weight needed to apply the proper torque to the wrench when it is horizontal. Otherwise you can only guess at it.
What is the formula for calculating tensile strength of a steel bar?
Not really. There may be some relationships that work narrowly within very similar materials, but they really are different physical properties.
There is no formulae to calculate yield strength from tensile strength...
What is the technical difference between tube and pipe?
The primary difference between pipe and tubing is how the size is designated. Pipe is designated by a "Nominal Pipe Size" based upon the ID (inside diameter) of the most common wall thickness. Tubing is designated by the measured OD (outside diameter). For Example: A 3/4 inch iron pipe has an OD of 1.050 inches, while a 3/4 inch steel tube has an OD of 0.75 inches.
The Copper industry calls all cooper tubular products "Tubes" but they designate a "Type". Each type has specified OD and ID dimensions
The size of a tube is determined by it's OD and the thickness. The actual OD of a tube is just the same as it's nominal OD. A certain size of a tube will keep the same OD no mater what the thickness is. It is true for pipe except that the actual OD is larger than it's nominal OD.
For example, for a 1" schedule 5s pipe, the actual OD is 1.315", the thickness is 0.065" and the ID is 1.185". When it's thickness is schedule xxs (0.358"), then it's ID is reduced to 0.599" while keeping it's OD. Furthermore, the actual OD of a pipe is just the same as it's nominal OD when the size is the same as or larger than 14" per ASME/ANSI B36.10/19 . Consequently, both the size of tube and pipe is measured by it's OD and the thickness.
Actually tube is used when we need to transfer heat from its walls and we want this to be happen while in pipes we try to stop the heat transfer such as we use tubes in boilers because we make steam we need to transfer the heat while when we transport steam we use pipes because we wana save heat energy.
2: pipe can be thick according to formula d/t >10 while tube will must thin according to this formula.
The Real Difference:
Sorry to say; wrong! Pipe and tube is ever so simple. Pipes are used to transport something, and tubes to construct something; hence, tubes are defined by the od "outside diamater" and wt "wall thickness" (for construction stability), and pipes id inside diamater to allow a calculation for transportation viz., speed, volumes etc. (od = id + 2 * wt).
Give 5 differences between radar and sonar?
SONAR stands for Sound Detection and ranging, and RADAR stands for Radio Aid to Detection and Ranging. as described below (by richard), the principle is simple. Point a signal source in one direction, Listen for the echo to return, and time how long the return signal took, Divide it in two, and with some math, and knowing the speed of the wave, work out how far away the object is. Now if you make the sender/receiver directional. you can move it left and right, and see how wide the object is. If you can rotate it 360 degrees, you get a map of what is arround you. (Gavin)
BY sending out a hi frequency pulse to an aircraft and detecting the timing for the return it can be calculate the speed and direction basically location of an aircraft. Sonar has the same principle applied timing of a response return PING to detect the location.
Radar is a system that uses radio electromagnetic waves to provide a range to a target normal in air or a vacuum. RADAR propagates its radio waves at the speed of light. Sonar uses sound and propagates in pressure wave through water and the speed of sound. And provides a range to a target in a similar way, just at slow speed.
What is modulus of elasticity of yellow wood?
It depends on the timber type. A typical range is 1,000,000 psi (6.9 GPa) for soft pine and cedar to 1,700,000 psi (11.7 GPa) for white oak and longleaf or shortleaf pine and Douglas fir.
How do you test a co2 cylinder?
Measure the weight of the full cylinder and note down as m1
Note down the tare weight of the cylinder marked on the cylinder and note down t1
the m1 - t1 = M the weight of gas in Kilograms
multiply the wt of gas in Kgs with 0.9403 ie. M x 0.9403 gives the total cubic meter of acetylene gas in cylinders
Note: One gram of Acetyle gas measures 0.9403 litres at 27 degree centigrade and 760 mm of mercury pressure.
What is mean by schedule 80 for Pipes?
Thicker pipe wall is required to contain higher fluid pressures. For the same fluid pressure, a thicker pipe wall is required for a larger diameter pipe than that required for a pipe of smaller diameter. A schedule of pipe sizes and wall thicknesses has been established by ASTM standards governing manufacturing of pipe. A previous description of pipe wall thicknesses as "Standard", "Extra Strong" and "Double Extra Strong" has been supplanted by a schedule of 10, 20, 30, 40 60, 80, 100, 120 and 160. Schedule 40 pipe generally compares with the previous use of "Standard". For metal pipe, Schedule 80 pipe has a thicker wall and can withstand greater pressures than a Sch 40 pipe. A point of confusion is that for PVC piping, Schedule 80 pipe has a thinner wall than Sch 40 pipe.

Why do the radiators in your house click when you start the heating system?
Does not sound like central heating. It sounds like a boiler system. When the hot water is routed through the cooler pipes and radiator, the air in those pipes are pushed through begins to expand and it causes the same effect as a tea pot boiling on a much larger scale.
What is the difference between Shaft horsepower and Brake horsepower?
Shaft horsepower is the power output from an engine after it is put through the gear train and other components that result in a loss of power. It is usually used in respect to aeroplanes and ships though it can be used as the power output from a cars gearbox.
Brake horsepower is the power an engine puts out at the crank and is not subject to losses. It is always higher than the true horsepower.
The true horsepower or rear wheel horsepower is the power that is actually driving a vehicle foreward and is probably the most important for comparing motor vehicles.
Horsepower itself is the imperial unit for power, like the metric systems Watt.
1 hp = 0.75kW
How do petrol and diesel engines work?
No.
Diesel and petrol, while both petrochemicals, act quite differently. Petrol is ignited by a spark, and at a relatively low pressure. Diesel 'self ignites' when placed under sufficient pressure, therefore diesel engines do not use spark plugs, and require higher operating pressures to work.
To allow for the different pressures, there are large differences between the designs of petrol and diesel engines, carburettors/fuel injectors and valve systems.
The only way to convert a petrol car to a diesel (or vice versa) is a complete engine swap.
Difference between synchronous and asynchronous motors?
1)Synchronous motors are those that run only at Synchronous speed i.e. constant speed. But Motor can run in various speeds.
2)Synchronous motors runs at same speed of magnetic filed. but if one consider case of induction motor the rotor rotates at different speed than revolving magnetic field. there is slip between field and rotor.
Is physics in mechanical engineering?
Pumps, for example, are mechanical items, requiring mechanical engineering in their design and use.
Well Briefly, "Mechanical", in essence, means to move or, motion, movement etc. and the study of it. So, What it means to me is, the engineering of moving objects or of similar nature.
Hope this helped.

What is the best type of electric motor for heavy starting loads?
The classic heavy starting load is a tram starting off from stationary, and for this the series-would dc motor is the preferred motor.
Where do railway steam engines carry there water?
Actually they carry the water in the tender in a tank below the coal. The tender is hooked onto the back of engine, and the water gets to the boiler which is the 'large tank on the front of the engine' through a flexible hose.
In the large tank on the front of the engine.
A material's ability to reflect light refers to?
it refers to the ability of materials to take in light and not reflect it
Is cast iron better than steel for a wood stove?
It depends on what it's being used for. Cast iron is great for engine blocks and anything that will be cast into irregular shapes, but cast iron tends to be brittle and can crack or break. Steel alloy tends to be tougher and holds up to abuse a little better. Also, cast iron is more difficult to weld.
Your question doesn't specify what the cast iron is being used for so I can't be more specific.
How many types of steel are there?
Here are some examples of iron; pig iron, cast iron, wrought iron, ingot iron, enamelling iron, gray iron, white iron chilled iron, malleable iron, ductile iron, compacted graphite iron, alloy iron, abrasion-resistant iron, corrosion-resistant iron heat-resistant iron
