How marine engine works?

The "engine" part of a marine engine is the same as any other kind of engine. The difference is the cooling system, and there are two kinds: raw water and enclosed. Raw water systems are used on outboards and small pleasure boats with inboard engines. The engine's water pump sucks water out of the lake, runs it through the engine and puts it back in the lake. This works with a minimum of parts, until you get into boats that run in salt water. Would YOU want ocean water running through your engine? Neither would yachtsmen with expensive diesels. The enclosed cooling system uses a heat exchanger. There's a tank on the boat with a radiator in it. The engine pumps coolant through the radiator just like it would the radiator on a car. A second pump pulls water out of the ocean and feeds it into the tank to cool the radiator. There's more maintenance in this system (you have to be sure saltwater scale isn't blocking the heat exchanger and you've got more water pumps to deal with) but it is more reliable than feeding raw water into the engine.

What are the ways of laying out shapes or patterns to maximise use of materials?

There are many dfferent ways to mark out shapes or patterns. Firstly use Michael Jacksons nose to carve a hole into your own cheek.

What is difference between leak down test with water or air?

Water, with surface tension and higher viscosity than air, will not show the smallest leaks air will show. For very sensitive testing, helium is also used. Water, with surface tension and higher viscosity than air, will not show the smallest leaks air will show. For very sensitive testing, helium is also used.

Why can a two-cycle engine be run in any position?

Actually several reasons: 1. Because it doesn't have an oil sump for the crankcase; the crankshaft and connecting rod are lubricated by incoming fuel, which must be mixed with oil. This is part of the basic two-cycle setup, which if not understood would be a question of its own. 2. Because the fuel is supplied to the engine via a flexible drop-tube in the gas tank; the intake end always falls to the "bottom" of the tank, no matter which way it's held. 3. Because the two-cycle engine has no carburetor, thus no float which would otherwise prevent off-axis operation.

What is the different with normal flange and flange with jack screw?

What is the difference between GRE pipes and GRP pipes?

Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is a composite material or fiber-reinforced plastic made of a plastic reinforced by fine fibers made of glass. Like carbon fiber reinforced plastic, the composite material is commonly referred to by the name of its reinforcing fibers (fiberglass). The plastic is thermosetting, most often polyester or vinylester, but other plastics, like epoxy (GRE), are also used. The manufacturing process for GRP fiber glass uses large furnaces to gradually melt the sand/chemical mix to liquid form, then extrude it through bundles of very small orifices (typically 17-25 micrometres in diameter for E-Glass, 9 micrometres for S-Glass). These filaments are then 'sized' with a chemical solution. The individual filaments are then bundled together in large numbers to provide a 'roving'. The diameter of the filaments, as well as the number of filaments in the roving determine its 'weight'. This is typically expressed in yield-yards per pound (how many yards of fiber in one pound of material, thus a smaller number means a heavier roving, example of standard yields are 225yield, 450yield, 675yield) or in tex-grams per km (how many grams 1 km of roving weighs, this is inverted from yield, thus a smaller number means a lighter roving, examples of standard tex are 750tex, 1100tex, 2200tex). These rovings are then either used directly in a composite application such as pultrusion, filament wounding (pipe), gun roving (automated gun chops the glass into small lengths and drops it into a jet of resin, projected onto the surface of a mold), or used in an intermediary step, to manufacture fabrics such as chopped strand mat (CSM) (made of randomly oriented small cut lengths of fiber all bonded together), woven fabrics, knit fabrics or uni-directional fabrics. An individual structural glass fiber is both stiff and strong in tension and compression -- that is, along its axis. (Although one might intuitively imagine the fiber to be weak in compression, it is actually only the long aspect ratio of the fiber which makes it seem so; i.e., because a typical fiber is long and narrow, it buckles easily.) On the other hand, the glass fiber is unstiff and unstrong in shear -- that is, across its axis. Therefore if a collection of fibers can be arranged permanently in a preferred direction within a material, and if the fibers can be prevented from buckling in compression, then that material will become preferentially strong in that direction. Furthermore, by laying multiple layers of fiber on top of one another, with each layer oriented in various preferred directions, the stiffness and strength properties of the overall material can be controlled in an efficient manner. In the case of glass-reinforced plastic, it is the plastic matrix which permanently constrains the structural glass fibers to directions chosen by the designer. With chopped strand mat, this directionality is essentially an entire two dimensional plane; with woven fabrics or unidirectional layers, directionality of stiffness and strength can be more precisely controlled within the plane. A glass-reinforced plastic component is typically of a thin "shell" construction, sometimes filled on the inside with structural foam, as in the case of surfboards. The component may be of nearly arbitrary shape, limited only by the complexity and tolerances of the mold used for manufacturing the shell.

What is the Hardness Rockwell C scale?

This is a method used to determine the hardness of a metal. If you know the type of metal and the hardness, this will tell you the Tensile Strength of the metal and how well it was heat treated. The method uses a ball or a pin to strick the metal and leave a small indention. The size and depth that the ball makes in the metal is inversely proportional to the hardness. Using the scale, you can then determine if the part has completed the proper heat treatment as required by the Engineering drawing. There are 3 Rockwell scales: A, B, C. Rockwell C scale is for the hardest of metals such as steel. Rockwell B is for metal such as soft aluminum and A is for even softer metals.

What is lamellar tearing?

Lamellar Tearing is a kind of Weld-cracking that forms beneath a weld. It is a dangerous condition occurring when certain plate materials presenting low ductility in the thickness (or through) direction are welded to a perpendicular element.

Lamellar tearing occurs only in rolled steel products (primarily plates) and its main distinguishing feature is that the cracking has a terraced appearance.

Cracking occurs in joints where :

- A thermal contraction strain occurs in the through thickness direction of steel plate

- Non-metallic inclusions are present as very thin platelets, with their principal planes parallel to the plate surface

Contraction strain imposed on the planar non-metallic inclusions results in progressive to from the roughly rectangular holes which are the horizontal parts of the cracking, parallel to the plate surface.

With further strain, the vertical parts of the cracking are produced, generally by ductile shear cracking. These two stages create the terraced appearance of these cracks.

Two main options are available to control the problem in welded joints liable to lamellar tearing :

- Use a clean steel with guaranteed through thickness properties (Z grade)

- A combination of joint design, restraint control and welding sequence to minimize the risk of cracking.

What is the disadvantages of a CAD package?

They all have advantages and disadvantages. In general, the one with the least disadvantages is the one you are most familiar with using. In my opinion, the biggest disadvatage (shared among all packages) is the difficulty in translating between packages. Many of us do this daily, and it is a PITA. Solidworks, in particular, is bad in that you can't save to a lower version that could be read by somebody working even 1 version down from you. The second biggest disadvantage (shared among many packages) is the difficulty of sharing data to co-workers without CAD seats or CAD knowledge.
