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 does hPa means in terms of pressure in weather?

hPa stands for Hectopascal preasure unit this is the international unit for measuring atmospheric or barometric pressure.

1 hPa = 100 pascals

Standard atmospheric pressure = 101325 pascals = 1013.25 hPa

Which is the most usefull software for mechanical engineer?

There are many but the best suited are those on which you can perform CAD-CAM...

many software do provide that facility ......

How vertical condensate extraction pump work?

CEP is a Multi stage vertical Centrifugal Pump having double suction impeller at 1st stage for higher efficiency and high flow rate .Pump operates at marginal difference between NASHa and NPSHr so pressure equalising line is provied at suction side .CEP suction is conected to Hotwell and above hotwell Vacuum is maintained as per turbine design.

The purpose of CEP is transfer water to deaerator through LP heaters.

What are couplings used for?

Shaft couplings are used to couple or attach two shafts together, typically in an assembly where one shaft rotates and drives the other shaft -- for example, if a motor were to drive a pump, there would be a coupling between the two shafts.

Shaft couplings can be rigid (accommodating no misalignment) or flexible (accommodating some angular and/or radial misalignment of the two shafts). More information on various types of couplings is available here:

What is the law of volume constancy?

epsilon1 + epsilon2 + epsilon 3 = 0 (for plastic deformation)

What is the difference between conventional milling and cline milling?

You may be looking for the difference between Climb vs Conventional milling. Also known as Down milling and Up milling respectively.

In short, the difference is the direction that the teeth of the cutting tool move relative to the material. This can primarily affect smoothness of resulting cut, tool life, and the force on the machine and material. Better description can be found in these links:

What is camber is eot crane?

The height of the center point of the girder compared with the straight line between the two end points.

Can you weld steel to steel?

Yes, you can weld steel to steel. You can use steel welding rod.

Difference in conventional and cnc machining?

conventional machining is that in which the control of removal of material is either by automatic machines or by man handled.while cnc machinig is that in which control of machining process is done by computes or through programming.

What is a deflection in cantilever beam?

it will depend upon the load and moment applied on the beam.

What is the difference between stress and strain and tension?

Stress is the tension/compression force per unit area.
Strain is the ratio of change of length to the original length, due to applied force.
Tension is the applied force which tends to elongate the body.

What is a CIT sensor?

Compressor Inlet Temperature sensorfor a Gas turbine engine.

What is wpb and wpc?

WP is prefix, which is given to all manufactured fittings which has been manufactured as per ASME B16.9 and also the dimensions of fittings match as per the code

Reference ASMEB 16.5 Para 4.4.1

Regarding B I am not sure need to explore still a bit

if anybody has an answer please mail me at melwin_farias@yahoo.co.in

What is tension and compression?

Tension and compression takes place when an object has a force on another object. The tension is when the force is causing a pulling effect on part of the object. The compression is when the force is causing a contracting effect on part of the object.

Can you gas weld with propylene gas?

Yes, but it will take years for the base metal to get hot enough for any fusion welding.

How do you define the rigid link fluid link and flexible link The application for these in theory of machines?

1. Rigid link. A rigid link is one which does not undergo any deformation while transmitting

motion. Strictly speaking, rigid links do not exist. However, as the deformation of a connecting rod,

crank etc. of a reciprocating steam engine is not appreciable, they can be considered as rigid links.

2. Flexible link. A flexible link is one which is partly deformed in a manner not to affect the

transmission of motion. For example, belts, ropes, chains and wires are flexible links and transmit

tensile forces only.

3. Fluid link. A fluid link is one which is formed by having a fluid in a receptacle and the

motion is transmitted through the fluid by pressure or compression only, as in the case of hydraulic

presses, jacks and brakes.

How does an injection molding machine function?

Use of computers in mechanical engineering?

I think there is no use of computers . But if u like computers then u can make super computer through mechanical eng. . I pass 12th class.

How do you convert meter water column into bar pressure?

Ten meter water column is expressed as a column of water of 1,000 cm high with a section of 1 x 1 cm. This equals 1 dm3 of water which has a mass of 1 kg.

As such 10 meter water column exerts a pressure of 1 kg/cm2.

1 kg/cm2 = 0.980665 bar

Therefore:

1 m WC = 0.1 kg/cm2 = 0.0980665 bar

0.980665 bar = 1 kg/cm2 = 10 m WC

1 bar = 1.0197162 kg/cm2 = 10.197162 m WC

What is the six point technique of fault finding used in mechanical maintenance?

The six point technique of fault finding used in mechanical maintenance is called the hexagonal method. It also sometimes called the six sigma and is a process of quality control.

What is the advantage of integral starter motorised valves?

Integral stsrters are embedded with motorised valves. By using integral starter, one can control motorised valves by remotely and locally. Even it can indicate the motorised valves direction of rotation & its final position, Power failure detection , indicate motor winding temperature, auto phase correction and emergency shut down of valve.
