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.

Explain the transmission and distribution of electricity from the generation station to the consumer?

transmission and distribution of electricity are the way of regulate voltage to the minimum rate in which can be benefit to the consumers. From generating station , voltage generated is up 16/25kv which step up upto 330kv this generating voltage now step down in the transmission station through the step down transformer which is 132kv this voltage now transmitting to distribution station where voltage now step down to 33kv, this 33kv now stepdown to 415v for three line and 240/220v for a line for the uses of consumers.

What is the Water tube boiler design procedure?

You will find it in any mechanical engineering heat transfer book

What is a hoop stress?

The hoop stress is the force exerted circumferentially in both directions on every particle in the cylinder wall.

What are the limitation of iron iron-carbide diagram?

1) The nonequilibrium martensite does not appear on the diagram; and

2) The diagram provides no indication as to the time-temperature relationships for the formation of pearlite, bainite, and spheroidite, all of which are composed of the equilibrium ferrite and cementite phases.

How do engines last so long?

There is very little metal to metal contact as the metal parts are separated by a film of oil. Newer EFI equipped engines last longer due to better control of fuel, as they completely shut off the fuel when decelerating, which prevents fuel from washing the cylinder walls .

What causes gears to lose their efficiency?

Wear! As the working surfaces wear out, they don't mesh as well.

Why LM6000 PC using two shafts?

The compression ratio for LM6000 PC is quite high (30:1 usually) compared to a conventional Gas turbine, for achieving this high ratio the compressor design with two shafts is more efficient than a single shaft. So basically the efficiency of compression increases if you increase the no.of shafts, ie 3 shaft will be more efficient than 2 shafts. But the cost also increases with the no.of shafts involved. So finally if you see the trade off 2 shaft model works out to be the best.

How does bourdon tube gauge work?

A Bourdon gauge consists of a C-shaped pipe with one end closed and the other end attached to a chamber whose pressure is being measured. When there is a pressure difference between the inside of the pipe and the outside, there will be a net force acting on the C-shaped pipe which will either try to curl the pipe into a tighter C shape (if the pressure in the pipe is less than the ambient air pressure), or the force will tend to straighten out the pipe (if the pressure is higher inside). This force can be measured, and from the measurement of this force, the gauge pressure within the pipe can be calculated.

What is the tip of the thread called for a sixty degree thread form?

The 3 main parts of a Screw thread are :-

Root ....... (bottom)

Flank ....... (sides)

Crest ........(top)

What is the symbol for a thyristor?

It is a standard diode, with an additional line leaving the cathode (- side) for the gate. See wikipedia link.

How can you tell the difference between a general and specific tolerance on a drawing?

IDK that is why i asked

General tolerance refers to all untoleranced dimensions, and should be covered by a note on the drawing, eg tolerance unless noted otherwise plus or minus 0.25 mm

Specific tolerance will be included with the individual dimension, either as dimension limits or dimension plus tolerance.

Can you reduce the heat treatment time in carbon steel through normalizing instead of annealing?

can we reduce the heat treatment time in carbon steel through normalizing instead of annealing?

Who made beds?

autumn Anderson did and she made them when she was 8

Why shouldn't you breath in the fumes from a soldering iron?

It's not healthy!! Though they are safer than they used to be, fumes released from molten solder and flux could contain chemicals that might be a long-term health hazzard. It is prudent to keep exposure to a minimum.
