Introduction of Venturimeter A venturimeter is a device used to measure the flow or leakage of a liquid through a pipe. The Venturimeter is an application of Bernoulli’s equation. Its basic principle also depends on Bernoulli’s equation that is velocity of fluid increases and pressure decreases. Venturimeter’s principle was discovered by G.B. Venturi in his … Read more
Introduction of Hydraulic Intensifier A hydraulic intensifier is a mechanical device used to increase the pressure intensity of liquids. It harness the energy of large volumes of liquids at low pressure. Some hydraulic machines require high pressures to operate, and this high pressure cannot be achieved with a pump. Some of these hydraulic machines are … Read more
Introduction of Powder Metallurgy Powder metallurgy is a manufacturing process for producing finished or semi-finished products by compacting metal powders into a suitable matrix. This is one of the least expensive processes that provides high quality, high strength, and complex geometries with high accuracy. These factors make this process most suitable for mass production. It … Read more
What is Cutting Fluid? Cutting fluid is a type of coolant having lubricating properties as well which is used in almost all the metalworking processes during different machining operations such as turning, drilling and milling. The metalworking process requires several components such as Machine Tools, Raw Materials, and Appropriate Cutting Tools. Cooling lubricants play an … Read more
There are 4 types of stress which a material can observe. I have listed these four types of stress. Tensile Stress Compressive Stress Shear Stress Thermal Stress Now we will learn about above mentioned types of stress in detail. Let’s get started. 1. Tensile Stress When an object is under tension or tensile stress, the … Read more
A gyroscope is a device used to measure or maintain direction and angular rate. This is a spinning wheel or disc whose axis of rotation is free to orient itself. When rotating, according to angular momentum conservation, the orientation of this axis is unaffected by tilting or rotating the mount. What is Gyroscopic Effect? When … Read more
What is Hydraulic Accumulator? A hydraulic accumulator is a mechanical device used in hydraulic applications. It acts as an intermediate device between hydraulic oil supply lines from pumps to required machines such as hydraulic jacks, hydraulic presses, and hydraulic cranes. Temporary storage of hydraulic fluid under pressure when the machine is in ideal condition. Some … Read more
Introduction of Draft Tube The draft tube is a connecting tube that gradually increases in area from the impeller outlet to the rear barrel. Draft tubes are one of the most important parts of water turbines used to convert water into energy. For better visualization I have shown the image of draft tube. Draft tube … Read more
Introduction of Girder A girder is a member of a structural design system. Both girders and beams have the same function. These two elements carry and distribute structural loads. Many people equate bars and grids, but they are not. Both share the same functionality, but there are some key differences that distinguish them. This article … Read more
Introduction In this article we will discuss about young’s modulus of elasticity. I would recommend to read my article on stress-strain curve. In the article on stress-strain curves, we learned about proportionality limits, where we talked about constants. This constant is known as the Young’s modulus. Young’s Modulus of Elasticity Above graph is obtained by … Read more
