Inline Engine Introduction: The inline engine is a very simple and traditional engine design. In inline engines, the cylinders are oriented and mounted straight. Therefore, it is also called direct drive or I-drive. These engines have a simple design and working principle. It is compact in size and requires very little installation space. The term … Read more
In this article, we will discuss the V10 engine, its design, the working principle, and its efficiency. What is V10 Engine? The V10 engine is a type of reciprocating engine that contains 10 cylinders arranged in a V-shape around a typical crankshaft. The V10 engine is a five-cylinder V engine. The design comes from the … Read more
This article is related to “Difference between V6 Engine and V8 Engine”. The most basic difference is that the V6 engine consists of 6 cylinders while the V8 engine consists of 8 cylinders. V8 engines are more powerful compared to V6 engines. I have listed all the differences in the table given below. Sr no … Read more

There are two types of wind turbines as follows. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine 1. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Vertical axis wind turbines are the most well-known type of wind turbine. The main shaft of the vertical axis wind turbine is fixed perpendicular to the ground. Some other key parts are placed … Read more
A wind turbine is a mechanical system that converts wind energy (wind kinetic energy ) into mechanical energy (rotational strength). These turbines have come to be the most economical energy source. Wind turbines have a superb layout and are very efficient. Professor James Blyth invented the primary wind turbine in the 1887 Century. Wind energy … Read more
The gate valve is the most famous and common type of valve used in the plumbing system or pipeline system. This type of valve is also called a sluice valve. A valve raises (opens) or lowers (closes) a disk or valve or controls the flow of fluid. Sluice or gate valves include the most common … Read more
A hydropower plant uses water to generate electricity. Hydroelectric is a renewable source of energy that produces electricity by using a dam or diversion structure to change the natural flow of a river or other water bodies. Hydroelectric power is electricity generated by generators driven by the movement of water. Hydroelectric power plants typically consist of … Read more
The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity used to predict the behavior of a fluid flow and plays an important role when observing moving fluids. Flow properties such as Laminar and Turbulent are expressed as Reynolds numbers. The formula for calculating the Reynolds number for any fluid flow is: The Reynolds number is the ratio … Read more
This article explains the moment of area or moment of area, application, and example. We will also derive that formula. First Moment of Area The first moment of area of a lamina about an axis is defined as the product of the area of the lamina and the perpendicular distance of the center of gravity … Read more
