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.

Which flatware is thicker 16 or 18 gauge?

16 ga is thicker than 18 ga.... the lower the number the thicker the wire size

What are the safe working practises and procedures to be used when using portable power operated tools and drilling machines?

Always wear eye protection, be sure to stay clear of a rotating bit, only pull the trigger when you are ready to drill, hold the drill vertically, and apply plenty of pressure in the direction you are drilling.

How does carburetor work in aircraft engine?

this is the same in an older car. fuel is injected into the venturi, mixed with air, sent to the pistons, and- you are no longer working with carburetors. it is best if you research a car's carburetor.

What is cement fondue?

Cement Fondue has a different composition to "normal" cement - it has a high aluminum content; cures to full strength in 24 hours without any shrinkage or cracking, and is heat-proof.

Cement fondue is a cement that sets in about six hours but begins to become solid in a much shorter time depending upon the mixture and air drying time. A mixture of two parts sand to one part fondue and one part water is a recommended mix.

Sculptures made from this product are durable and lightweight if built over an armature.

Detailed explanation abt victaulic coupling?

The coupling takes hold of the pipes ends so coniderable axial tensile forces.

Easy and fast connection upto 5 times faster than welding

The pipes can cope with a non-alignment of 1-2.5 deg.

The couplings can withstand vibrations without a risk of leakage occurring

Is multi point fuel injection system used only for petrol engine?

no there are several types of fuel injections. diesel also use multi point fuel injection simliar to a gas but alot bigger

HOW TO OPERAte a screw compressor and reciprocating compressors in series?

Your reciprocating compressors have to be the booster compressors (if running on low temp system)feeding its discharge to the suction of the screw(not directly)(if running on medium temp.

What is an mpfi engine?

'Mpfi' stands for 'multi point (electronic) fuel injection'. This system injects fuel into individual cylinders, based on commands from the 'on board engine management system computer' - popularly known as the Engine Control Unit/ECU. Mpfi Systems can either be : a) 'Sequential' i.e direct injection into individual cylinders against their suction strokes, or b) 'Simultaneous' i.e together for all the four or whatever the number of cylinders, or c) 'Group' i.e into Cylinder-Pairs.

How do you maintain net positive suction head of a pump?

first of all the term NPSH should be clear.It is pressure which should be available at the eye of the pump impeller,so as to avoid vaporisation of liquid.

Second which arises ,how this liquid will vaporise?Ans-if a vapour pressure of a liquid falls at constt temperature or temperature of liquid is raised at constt pressure it vaporises.In case of pump it's mostly the first case.

Now,how to manitain NPSH.

NPSHa> NPSHr (always)

where NPSHa= available NPSH

NPSHr = Required NPSH

NPSH = Hps+Hsl-Hvp-Hfl

Hps= pressure acting on the eye due to pressure in the suction drum.

Hsl = pressure acting due to height of liquid in the suction line.

Hvp= vapour pressure of the liquid

Hfl= head loss due to friction losses

Thus, to maintain the NPSH, variables in hand are,Hps and Hsl.increase the height of the suction line or increase the pressure of the suction drum.

What is the difference between the leaf spring and the coil spring and which is the best?

Coil springs are spiral. Leaf springs are flat blades of steel stacked on top of each other. Air springs are bags of air.

Leaf springs are cheaper and carry more weight (hence often rear springs are leaf).

Coil springs are wound tighter at the bottom so that their spring constant is greater (this is to make a linear force after compensating for gravity).

What is the Derby cover on a Harley Davidson?

Harley Davidson "Derby Cover"

A "Derby Cover" is basically a dust cover. It's on the left side of your bike and covers the business end of your clutch. It's the larger cover with (usually) 4-6 screws holding it in place. However my '85 Sportster has no screws in the "Derby Cover". Instead there's a two inch (2") screw-cap in the center of my "Derby Cover" with a large closed slot in the center. That's it! there are no other screws holding it in place.

What is the difference between blade and vane?

A blade is a rotating airfoil, while a vane is a stationary airfoil. A set of blades is referred to as a rotor, while a set of vanes is called a stator. Compressors and turbines are comprised of alternating sets of rotors (blades) and stators (vanes).

Where can you find a schematic for a 1999 Saturn SL1?

The best bet for generalized schematics would be a Chiltons or Haynes book, available at your local auto parts establishment. Some Saturn service centers will render assistance for more specific requirments.

What is the definition of structure in civil engineering?

Draycott and BullmenA define structure as:

"an organised combination of connected parts designed to carry loads and provide adequate rigidity."

HuntB in his text book defines structure as:

"the load-carrying part of all natural and man-made forms. It is the part which enables them to stand under their own weight and under the worst conditions of externally applied force."

Why cryogenic fluid is superior to any other cooling fluid in powered equipments?

due to the high heat generation in powered equipments there is requirement of maintaining the properties of fluid at high temperature hence cryogenic material have better properties.

Can a Diploma in Mechanical engineering student switch to Computer engg or IT for degree For a Mumbai University. Is it like a mechanical engineering student can not switch to IT?

yah!!

it is possible according to aicte norms.

for lateral entry in degree programme you should have only diploma in whatever decipline.

because first year of all the branches hav common syllabus..........

and you can easily carry on from second year.........

"because an engineer can do anything"
