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.

How does the hydraulic breaking systems functions?

Thehydraulic breaking system working in the pressure difference system... If the pressure is applied in one end of the small diameter pipe... The opposite side of big diameter pipe the same fluid is pressurised in a higher amount and the force is very high .. So only the small pressure fore given by the leg is applied to the breaking end very higher amount and the breaking is done....

Difference between teaching the subject of fluid mechanics for civil engineers of that for mechanical engineers?

Think of Civil Engineering as all the manmade construction you see when you look out a tall building. As for cars, power plants, machinery, equipment, industrial processes, technology think Mechanical Engineering. The fundamentals of the class are the same, but the problems and solutions are oriented toward the specialty.

What is the difference between schedule 40 and 10 gauge pipe?

The gauge of the pipe is the wall thickness. It is easier to say Schedule 40 pipe than .180 inch wall thickness. This is the SCH 40 wall thickness for a standard 12" pipe and the actual gauge thickness will vary based on pipe size and material. The larger the Schedule number, the thicker the pipe wall thickness.

Pipe Schedule is also expressed in Std., X-Stg., and XX-Stg. since some thicknesses are more common than others.

What is a compression flange?

A compression flange is used to connect a toilet to the sewer line.

What is NAS?

NAS is Network Attached Storage, Look on Wikipedia for more.


there's also a New York rapper "Nasir Jones" a.k.a. NaS.

Construction of Japanese zero aircraft?

The A6M Zero was designed by Jiro Horikoshi, built by Mitsubishi, and entered service with the Japanese Imperial NAVY in 1940. The last digit, the number "0", was named for the airplane, the "Zero". It was armed with two 7.7mm machinguns and two 20mm cannons. Cockpit body armor & self sealing fuel tanks were omitted in order to give the aircraft a lighter weight, enabling LONGER RANGE; which was approximately 2,000 miles.

What is difference between gate valve and slide valve?

The type of operation for a gate valve is that it has a turn screw handle and when looking inside the valve it appears as though a coin like object is closing in on the gap where the water would be passing through and shuts the water off. A slide valve type operation is when the handle is not screw type but has a handle that turns from side to side with a maximum adjustment of 90 degrees. When looking inside the valve it appears as though a ball is being turned 90 degrees which closes the water off.

What Test Are recomanded for ERW MS Pipe?

(a) Tensile Test

(b) Drift Expanding Test

(c) Flattening test

(d) Hardness test of material

(e) If the material is soft , Cupping test can be done.

(f) Bending Test

(g) Eddy Current Test (On-line Test)

(h) Zinc Adherence test (If GI pipe)

What is compressive and tension load cell?

In compressive load cell weight is applied on load cell and it gets compressed. Due to this compression we can measure the applied load. You can check out at http://www.adiartech.com/compression90210.html

and in tension load cell see this link that i came across

How do you make reducer from pipe?

By placing a smaller pipe insider the larger one and weld /braze the gap

What was the three major differences between the first generation and the final generation design of the Gossamer Condor?

The final generation Gossamer Condor had swept back wings, the wings undersides were covered with mylar, and there was an enclosed space for the pilot. All of these changes increased the airplane's performance.

What is exactly mechanical anchor in civil engineering?

A mechanical anchor is a load-carrying device that does not depend on glue or resin to support the loads. An example is a simple steel screw fixed into a wooden post to hold up the weight of a picture. However, the term "mechanical anchor" usually refers to a steel device which is fixed into a hole in a concrete beam or slab. The steel anchor resists load by a combination of friction and mechanical interlock with the concrete surface within the hole. The steel anchor contains some mechanism within itself to press the sides of the anchor (which are often toothed) into the concrete.

How do you select Pneumatic cylinder?

You need to collect and evaluate your requirements. Load it must provide, stroke required, pressure available, end connections needed are some that come to mind.

What is 5D in bend pipe?

The RADIUS of a 5D pipe bend is actually what is 5 times the nominal diameter. So if you had a 10" diameter pipe, the radius of the centerline of the bend would be 50 inches.

Can a 3-D printer use ceramic material to print with?

No, at least not at this time.

The material still has to be liquid enough to spray out of the nozzel of the printer. It's still just a glorified inkjetprinter. It probably uses a low melting point plastic like substance that gets super heated then gets shot out.

In a lawn irrigation system is a closed loop piping system instead of the dead end piping system for the pop-up oscillating sprinkler heads more effective in preventing heads from emerging from grade?

Heads popping out outof the ground have to do with how well they were installed. Closed loop and "dead end" systems would have no affect on them. Dig them up, re-set them to the height you want and pack dirt around them.
