Canal Falls

Canal fall is a solid masonry structure that is made on the canal if the natural ground slope is steeper than the designed channel bed slope. If the difference in slope is little, a single fall can be made, but If it is higher then falls are made at regular intervals. Types of Canal Falls: … Read more

Silica Fume

Silica fume or micro silica is an amorphous polymorph of silicon dioxide and silica. Silica fume is an ultrafine powder. It is a silicon and ferrosilicon alloy. Micro silica consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 nm. It is a very reactive pozzolana due to its chemical and physical properties. When silica fume is used … Read more

Slenderness Ratio

The ratio of the effective length of a column (Le) and the least radius of gyration (r) about the axis under consideration are known as the Slenderness ratio. It is indicated by the “λ” (lambda). The slenderness ratio is called about the minor axis of cross-section and major axis of the cross-section. Effective slenderness ratio of the section … Read more

Lami’s Theorem

In statics, Lami’s theorem is a condition that relates the sizes of three coplanar, concurrent and non-collinear forces, that keeps a body in static balance. Lami’s hypothesis expresses that if three forces acting at a point are in harmony, each power is corresponding to the sine of the angle between the other two forces. Consider … Read more

Mechanical Properties of Metals

Normally, materials are subjected to external forces when they are utilized. Mechanical Engineers figure out those powers and material researchers how materials disfigure or break as a component of power, time, temperature, and different conditions. Materials researchers find out about these mechanical properties by testing materials. A portion of the significant mechanical properties of the … Read more

Coupling

A coupling is a gadget or mechanical device that is used to connect two shafts together. Shafts are joined together at their ends for power transmission. The basic role of couplings is to join two bits of turning hardware while allowing some level of misalignment or end development or both. The coupling can likewise be … Read more

Fourier’s Law of Heat conduction

Fourier’s law expresses that “the rate of heat transfer through a material is directly proportional to the negative gradient in the temperature and to the area, at right angles to that slope, through which the heat flows. Fourier’s law, also known as the law of heat conduction.” The equation of Fourier’s law can be indicated … Read more

Gas Laws

Gas laws state the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas. Before starting the description of gas laws, we will learn about the basic properties of gases. Properties of Gases: Gases do not have a specific shape. It takes the shape in which it is stored. Density is less compared to solids and liquids. They … Read more

Lathe Machine

A lathe is a machine tool that performs various tasks such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing. It eliminates the unwanted material from a rotating workpiece in the form of chips with the assistance of a tool that is traversed across the work and can be fed deep into the work. Parts of Lathe Machine: Bed Headstock Tail Stock … Read more

Manometer?

A manometer is a pressure measuring device or gauge. The word monometer is also used for a U-shaped tube partly filled with fluid. It utilized the surface area and weight of a column of liquid to both measure and indicate pressure. A manometer is an instrument used to gauge and demonstrate pressure. There are two … Read more
