Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is a branch of engineering that encompasses the generation and application of heat and mechanical power and the design, production, and use of machines and tools. Mechanical engineering involves application of the principles of dynamics, control, thermodynamics and heat transfer, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, materials science, electronics, and mathematics.

What are the tools and techniques of lean manufacturing?

Lean manufacturing is the manufacturing systems concept based on Toyata's TPS. Lean is based in the idea that anything which does not add value to the customer is waste. There are several books and seminars on Lean available. Most people need 1-2 weeks of training on lean concepts and practice using it's tools before they feel comfortable that they "Know" Lean. Lean is deceptively simple and many companies say they are Lean companies when in fact they are very far from "Lean".

What is pressure drop?

Pressure drop is a term used to describe the decrease in pressure from one point in a pipe or tube to another point downstream.This occurs when flow resistance resulting in frictional forces acts on the fluid while it is flowing through a tube. The major identifiers of the resistance include fluid viscosity and fluid velocity in the pipe. Pressure drop elevates the same way as shear forces inside the piping network.

Is air conditioner purchased for the computer room a leasehold improvement or furniture and equipment?

Depending on whether the air conditioner is a "central operating unit" or if it is a "stand alone unit". The stand alone is an equipment purchase whereas a "central" is now part of the building.

What is the function of expansion valve?

The function of an expansion valve is to regulate the flow of a substance. One example is a thermal expansion valve which regulates the flow of cooling substances within a device.

What is the status of Agro based industries in India?

Agro-based industry would mean any activity involved in cultivation, under controlled conditions of agricultural and horticultural crops, including floriculture and cultivation of vegetables and post-harvest operation on all fruits and vegetables. The development of agro-industries has assumed crucial importance in the economic planning and progress of the country. This paper highlights the development proposals of agro-based industries during the tenth five year plan. This study also points out that Andhra Pradesh occupied the first place with 10,183 processed food industry units and the least place was occupied by Meghalaya with only 3 units in the year 2002-03. However, there are extreme variations among different states in the number of processed food industries. It is also evident from this study that except potatoes, all the other perishable products have been showing inadequate number of cold storage plants and low capacity utilization of the existing units. This study suggests that there is a need to develop the processed food industries throughout the country in order to provide more employment opportunities and to reduce the regional imbalances.

What are the different metals used for injection mold?

For Injection mold, the main metal used in steel.

There many different steels are used, for example, P20, 1.2311,718H,1.2738, H13, 1.2344, 2316,S136, etc..

Usually for mould based, the steel will be SC45#,P20 or 1.2311.

For daily household product, the stell will be 718H,1.2738

For PVC material ,steel will be 1.2316 or S136,

For food product mould, for example preform mould or food contaier mould, the steel will be S136. this is stainless mould steel.

Sino Mould is a company with over 20years in making plasti mould, if you want to know more about mould steel, pls contact us. mould@sinomould.com

What is DP in welding process?

DP is not actually to do with welding it is a form of NDT which stands for non destructive testing; DP is dye-pen where a white liquid formation is placed over the weld & a normally red enhancer is then placed over the top; this then identifies surface cracks.

What is planer density?

planer density is the ratio of number of atoms to area of plane .

What is the difference between API 6FA and API 607?

Both deal with valves. API6FA is for API 6A and 6D. API607 applies to soft-seated, quarter-turn valves.

What are examples of cast iron?

Cast means that the hot liquid iron is poured into a mold and then it is allowed to cool in the new shape.

This is opposite of 'Forged' or 'Stamped', where the hot metal is soft but not liquid, and it is sort of hammered into the shape you want.

Examples of common things made from cast iron:

Some boat anchors

some cooking pots and pans (the very heavy ones)

some automobile parts (engine block)

What is a brittle material?

a brittle is something that breaks easily with out more opposition like bones for instance..

Can petrol work in a diesel engine?

Yes, petrol will work in a diesel engine but will run rough for a short time before the engine needs extensive and expensive repairs.

What is meant by pilgering?

Pilgering is a metal-working process for reducing the dimensions of a metal tube. The two key components of a pilgering press (or mill) are a conical mandrel, which fits inside the tube, and ring dies which roll over the outside of the tube. This process reduces the diameter of the tube to the size of the mandrel and, at the same time, reduces the wall thickness of the tube from the action of the dies rolling over the outside of the tube along the mandrel. Pilgering is usually performed cold, i.e., the metal does not need to be heat-treated for the process to be accomplished, and it takes a very great number of tiny forming steps. This makes it highly suitable to use on precious metals, since almost no metal is lost in the process. This also is a superior metal-forming process to drawing, since it can reduce the diameter of a tube to a greater degree than drawing while the tube still remains round and retains greater tensile strength against forces such as torque and stress fracturing. Cold pilgered tubes are used for such things as lightning rods, baseball bats and golf clubs, which can survive repeated sudden large-force impacts.

How do you calculate final cost of finished weld length of weld x's time it takes to weld an inch of weld equals?

In general type of weld, welding requirement, works complexity degree & labour cost. Type of weld - TIG / MIG etc Welding requirement - Length, width, depth & way of weld. (some customers have their own standard way of welding which is exclusive. Work Complexity - Let say a structure has 30 points from different direction hence you may have to make few turns of structure rotation and resulting longer time needed to complete the works and risks involved when handling those heavy stuff. Normally it should charge more than fix point rate like 1.3 x FIXED RATE Labour cost - It is very subjective as skilled worker come in few grades by experience. Hence you have to determine yourself what work it suitable for specify worker. The hour rate can be divided by estimate welding points can be completed within an hour.

What is 38 SAE J475?

SAE J475 is a specification for thread sizes on tubing. 38 may be a typographic error for a 3/8" thread.
