The Law of conservation of energy states that “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only it can be changed from one form to another form.” This law does not differentiate between useful and wasted energy. Law of conservation of energy neglects ‘losses’ from the closed system into the environment. In this process, the energy transferred from one … Read more
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
Spark ignition engines and compression ignition engines are the two most popular types of engines. We can differentiate between these two based on various factors such as engine speed, cycle efficiency, fuel used, time of knocking, cycle operation, the pressure generated, and constant parameter during the cycle. Check out the below table to know the … Read more
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
Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) is a set of technologies used to remove harmful gas such as sulfur dioxide from exhaust flue gases of fossil-fuel power plants. In this technique, sulfur dioxide is also removed from the emissions of other sulfur oxide emitting processes such as waste incineration. In the Flue-Gas Desulfurization process, wastewater is produced, this wastewater must … Read more
A chimney is a very important component of a thermal power plant. In this article, I will describe the thermal power plant chimney. A thermal power plant chimney has two important functions: To carry undesirable combustion or smoke out of the boiler. To provide the draught that feeds air to the fire to keep it … Read more
Porcelain tile is a type of ceramics tile but they are stronger, harder, and water-resistant. These types of tiles are more durable compared to traditional ceramics tiles and glazed ceramic tiles. These types of tiles are manufactured by using clay with finer particles at a higher temperature. Porcelain tile is water and stain-resistance. The maintenance … Read more
Introduction: Ceramics tiles are a very popular material for floor and wall tiles. These types of tiles are used in homes, restaurants, retail stores, office space, etc. Ceramics tiles are available at a very cheap price compared to porcelain tiles and marble tiles. What are Ceramics Tiles? Ceramics tiles are a mixture of clay, sand, quartz, and water. … Read more
A pedestal is a compressive structural member which is constructed between the footing and column. It is used to transfer the uniform load into the footing. The shape of the pedestal can be square, octagonal, and circularr. The pedestal is a compression member that has the length to least lateral dimension ratio is less than … Read more
Steel is a very important material that is widely used in various industries such as the construction industry, manufacturing industries, etc. Stell is used to manufacture machines, tool others things such as reinforcement bars. In this article, I will describe the difference between mild steel and stainless steel. First, we will get a brief idea … Read more
