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.

Why condensate pot is used?

whenever steam is utilised as heating media, steam condensate is produced.This steam condensatecan be utilsed for steam generation at some other location and needs to be pumped, for pumping you need some intermediate storage of this condensate. For storing it we use condensate pot whose level can be controlled.

How much does tool steel cost?

Ths cost of tool steel is dependent on many factors including the alloy content and the manufacturing cost. Low alloy tool steels can be boought for less than $2.00 per pound. High alloy tool steels and high speed steels are sold for as much as $30.00 per pound.

See the related links below for more information about the cost of tool steels

Why are fan wings slightly curved?

loose wikianswer u cannot display the answer

What is love joy coupling?

Lovejoy is the legacy company/brand behind the original straight jaw flexible coupling. A Lovejoy flexible jaw coupling is comprised of two hubs and an elastomeric spider that accommodates minor misalignment and avoid metal to metal torque transmission between the hubs. One main advantage is that it can still work during slightly failed condition. If the spider fails or wears away, the jaws of the two hubs will generally engage with each other and continue carrying torque for some period of time. This type of coupling is generally resistant to dirt, moisture, sand and grease. These couplings come with a wide selection of hub and spider materials to handle a wide array of operating temperatures and torque transmission requirements.

Is steel gauge thickness and wire gauge thickness the same?

They are close but not the same. For example, 14 gauge steel is .0781 inches thick while 14 gauge steel wire is .083 inches thick.

Does scfh and cfh mean the same?

scfh is "standard cubic feet per hour" and cfh doesn't neccessarily mean "standard". Standard conditions are stanard temperature (293 K), and standard pressure (1 atm, 101,300 Pa).

What is the purpose of hidden lines?

so you can see objects that are behind the object you are looking at

What is recrystalline temperature?

Recrystallisation temperature is the temperature at which the crystal structure starts forming.

Man can do mechanical engineering after agriculture engineering?

No. AgE consists of the application and incorporation of mathematics, chemistry, and biology into the design and management of agricultural systems (e.g. farming, harvesting, processing, etc.). Yes, there are quite a bit of mechanics involved as well, but mostly the understanding of basic vector statics/dynamics. Agricultural Engineering draws from many other fields, as it is a hybrid field. AgE's draw from chemical (production of fertilizer, treatment chemicals, etc.), mechanical (how machinery works, and how to maximize energy output), and industrial/manufacturing (labor flow on the industrial side) engineering principles. Mechanical Engineering itself goes far more in depth than the classical mechanics one would encounter as an Agricultural Engineer. You will learn all about heat and light as well. Fluid mechanics, hydraulics, air flow systems, etc....

What is a Talysurf?

It is Taylsurf and not as spelt in the question. It is an instrument used to measure surface finish or texture in mechanical engineering.

Can you bend mild steel?

Yes, it is easily 'workable'. hence the name mild steel..

What is cooling rate?

It is the rate at which heat loss occurs from the surface of an object. It is either expressed in J/KJ/time unit or in deg C/time unit. cooling rate is an indicator to achieve desired mechanical properties such as hardness, conditions such stress-relieved etc.

How do aerodynamics work?

This is a very general question. We use aerodynamics in two ways, for drag and left (or negative lift e.i. down-force). Drag is when something is moving and the particles in the air pummel the moving object, slowing it down. We try to get around this by making the objects more stream-lined so less of the air particles will hit it. Airplanes use the particles in the air for lift. One may not think this, but air is in fact slightly viscous (for all intents and purposes, sticky) and the wing of a plane has an almost flat underside but a convex top side. The air travelling over the top of the wing follows the curvature of the wing which means it is pulled down towards the back end, and in order to be an equal and opposite reaction to this action (newtons third law of motion) the wing (and the plane) must be pulled upwards, so therefore creating lift.

Racing cars work on a similar principle but in reverse to create down-force, because at high speeds the air could cause the cars to lift off the ground slightly so giving them very little grip, but for the use of down-force. In many cases it is simply turning the wing upside down, but the technology has become a lot more advanced over the last few decades.

Name 11 factors that should be considered when selecting a material for a product?

The temperature in a vessel is 36 degree C and the proportion by mass of

air to dry saturated steam is 0.1. What is the pressure in the vessel in bar

and in mm of mercury vacuum? The barometric pressure is 760mm Hg

Use of draft tube in reaction turbine?

1. To reduce velocity/ kinetic energy of water making exit thereby converting kinetic energy to pressure head allowing turbine to be installed above tail pool level.

2. To create negative suction head.

3. Provide added head.

Hydrotesting procedure of Shell and Tube heat exchanger?

The hydro-testing procedure of a shell and tube heat exchanger requires you to fill the shell and tubing with water that had a color dye added to it. Then, raise the internal pressure by 1.5 times the operating pressure suggested by the manufacturer. If there are any cracks in the vessel, the water will be forced out through the cracks.

What is prismatic member?

member which has constant cross section area i.e. there is no deformity in area considered for calculations.

Why martensite is so hard and brittle?

For two reasons: 1. martensite is bct structure which prevent the movement of dislocations. 2. martensite has higher carbon concentraton.

When did mechanical engineering started?

When the first humans made ​​their first tools.

What navigational aids did the Muslims develop?

Muslim scientists compiled their knowledge of seasonal weather, tides, prevailing winds, sea currents as well as astral-navigation to create navigational tools. These tools included astronomical tables and navigational tables for navigators. They are responsible for the invention of the Astrolab, as well as innovations in cartography.
