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 is the meaning of HDPE 150 GSM?

150 gram per square metre

High Density PolyEthylene (woven sheet)

What is the difference between double-seated and single-seated ball valve?

Double seated ball valves will hold pressure from either end whereas single seated will only hold pressure rating from one end.

What is the difference between a slide gate and a sluice gate?

Gate-leaf of slide gate move vertical or horizontal by means of screw hoist on its frame to open or close the waterway thus regulate the flow and it can be used as a type of sluice gate but other type of gates are also used as sluice gate like flapgate, radial gate,needle gate,automatic gate,fixed wheel type vertical gate etc. Also same type of gates when installed on diffrent structures called by that structure's gate like crest gate, head regulator gate, cross regulator gate, escape gate, etc.

How many seconds will a water closet with a volume of 6 liters be filled by water with a pressure of 80 psi?

There is insufficient information to peform the calculation. The key information required would be the flow rate.

This is because the flow rate could be anything for a given pressure (say 80psi) therefore the pressure value alone is insufficient for determination.

The amount of work done in a certain amount of time?

The amount of work done in a certain amount of time is the power.

Power is measured in watts, and is defined as joules per second. Work is a mechanical form of energy. Dimensionally, it is Force*Distance. Typical units are ft-lb or watt-seconds. Power is the rate of work, dimensionally Force*Distance/Time. Typical units could be ft-lb/hour, or watt.

Is tensile strength of cold rolled steel is greater than yield stress?

For ductile materials, the yield stress is always lower than the tensile strength of the material. For brittle material they can usually be considered the same point. Steel is generally considered ductile.

Why is caulking and fullering is done on riveted joints?

Caulking :TO make metal to metal contact

Fullering :To have rivet to part contact.

What are the materials used in jigs and fixtures?

ss304 component drilling process suitable fixture material

What is the half split technique?

half split technique is a fault finding method in which faulty area is compared with one of the similar What_is_the_half-split_fault_finding_techniquearea. in hydraulic rig, say if cylinder B is not working, we compare it against another working cylinder, say cylinder A. By comparing we collect data and determine the difference between both working and non working components.

i.e. what is the status of incoming and out going flow in both (working and non working) components?

are both pressurized only when it should?

etc.

AA

What is the schmid factor?

The Schmid factor m is part of the equation for the critical resolved shear stress τ0.

The critical resolved shear stress is the component of shear stress in a slip plane, resolved in the direction of slip, necessary to initiate slip in a grain (plastic deformation in metals).

m = cos(κ)cos(λ) ; τ0 = mσ

κ - the angle between the applied load direction and the slip plane normal.

λ - the angle between the applied load direction and the slip direction.

σ - the applied stress or load

What is strain and equivalent strain?

There are 6 vectors used to describe the strain field of an element. An equivalent strain is just a single numerical value used to represent the strain field.

What is the difference between box culvert and pipe?

Basically, a culvert means a covered hydraulic structure which conveys fluid. Therefore in a broad sense, pipe culverts in a small scale represent normal pipes like precast concrete pipes.

In terms of hydraulic performance, circular section is the best geometrical sections among all. Therefore, for relative small discharge, precast concrete pipes and ductile iron pipes are normally used which are circular in shape. But for applications of very large flow, precast concrete pipes and ductile iron pipes may not be available in current market. In this connection, cast-in-situ construction has to be employed. It is beyond doubt that the fabrication of formwork for circular shape is difficult when compared with normal box culvert structures. However, circular shape is the most hydraulic efficient structure which means for a given discharge, the area of flow is minimum. Therefore, it helps to save the cost of extra linings required for the choice of box culverts.

However, box culverts do possess some advantages. For example, they can cope with large flow situation where headroom is limited because the height of box culverts can be reduced while the size of pipe culverts is fixed. Secondly, for some difficult site conditions, e.g. excavation of structure in rock, for the same equivalent cross-sectional area, the width of box culverts can be designed to be smaller than that of pipe culverts and this enhances smaller amount of excavation and backfilling

What is P1 Material?

P1 Material is the name given to Carbon Manganese Steel in the engineering industry

Is cold rolled steel rod harder than drill rod?

I believe drill-rod is harder than ordinary, cold-rolled steel - I cant give the specs to back that up definitively, but in my 14 yrs of industrial maintenance experience, I believe that to be correct.

+++

I agree if I am right in thinking that "drill-rod" is the material called "silver-steel" in the UK. This is an alloy capable of being hardened and tempered to make cutting-tools, spindles etc, but is pretty tough to machine even in its annealed state. Cold-rolled mild-steel in turn, is tougher than hot-rolled m.s. but I don't know if it is any stronger. That would depend on the specific alloy rather than process.

What is the difference between a fire wall and a fire barrier?

A fire wall is what protects and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic. A fire barrier blocks more of the things that can come in and go out of the network.

Who invented conveyor?

The first conveyor belt was invented by a man named Richard Sutcliffe in 1905. They used them in coal mines which caused a big transformation in the mining industry.

What is ac condenser?

ac condenser means "Air Cooled Condenser". The cooling media is Air.

The fluid or anything which is being circulated through (inside) the coils /tube being cooled by the exposed or forced air - which impinges over the outside of the coil / tubes.

What is tensile load?

Think of a tensile load as a "pulling" force. A tensile load is the only type of load that can be taken by a rope, for instance.
