The reaction turbine produces torque depending on the pressure and weight of the fluid. Reaction turbines have fixed blades and rotary nozzles. Newton’s third law of motion (action and reaction are equal but opposite) explains how a reaction turbine works. Power is generated by the movement of water on the fixed blade. In a reaction … Read more
An impulse turbine is a type of turbine in which a stream of water collides with turbine blades at high speed to rotate the turbine and generate electricity. Impulse turbines operate on the principle of Newton’s second law. French Real and Pichon invented the combined impulse turbine in 1827. Impulse turbines are the most accessible … Read more
In this article, we will talk about the types of butterfly valves. There are various types of butterfly valves such as Concentric valve, Eccentric valve, Wafer valve, Lug-style valve, and Rotary valve. Let’s have a look at different types of butterfly valves. 1. Concentric Valve The concentric valve is the most basic and common type … Read more
The butterfly valve is the quarter-turn (1/4 turn) valve used to open, close, and regulate fluid flow. The operation is easy. Turn the valve handle or actuator 90 degrees to fully open and close the fluid flow. The valve has a disc. This disc is attached to the rotating shaft. When you turn the handwheel … Read more
The engine block is part of an internal combustion engine that contains the cylinders, pistons, and other components of the engine. The engine block is also called the cylinder block. In earlier vehicle engines the engine block contained only one cylinder block connected to another crankcase. On the other hand, in the latest engine, the … Read more
The drill pump is the most famous type of pump used to pump non-combustible liquids. The drill pump does not have an internal electric motor to drive the impeller. Instead, it uses a standard drill-powered hand pump to transfer fluids. Power from the drill motor drives the turbine, which extracts fluid from the turbine and … Read more
A coolant leak can occur for several reasons such as a damaged head gasket, damaged hose clamp, damaged radiator hose, and heater core. If the coolant leaks, the radiator’s coolant level may drop below the desired level, contaminating the engine oil, deforming the cylinder head, overheating the engine, or damaging the engine. Therefore, if you … Read more
A kind of valve which makes use of a hollow, turning, and perforated ball to govern the fluid glide is called a ball valve. The ball of the valve has a hollow inside the middle. This ball unit is among the 2 seats. The role of the ball is managed thru an actuator or wrench … Read more
A reciprocating pump is a mechanical device that converts the mechanical energy of fluid into hydraulic (pressure) energy. A reciprocating pump uses a piston or plunger to pump liquid from one location to another. These types of pumps are also called piston pumps because they use pistons or plungers to pump. In this pump, the … Read more
A positive displacement compressor works by introducing a certain amount of air into the compression cylinder. A compression cylinder compresses air by mechanically reducing the volume of air. It is known as a positive displacement compressor because it compresses the hydraulic fluid by displacing the volume of the compression cylinder. This compressor has reciprocating parts … Read more
