Several techniques are used to improve the surface properties of manufactured components mechanically. The most common methods are listed and described under: Shot ..
Liquid chillers are machines that remove heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle or vapor-absorption refrigeration cycle. This liquid can then ..
The LMTD is a logarithmic average of the temperature difference between the hot and cold fluid streams at each end of the heat exchanger. The larger the value of LMTD, ..
A shaper machine is a reciprocating machine that produces horizontal, vertical, or flat surfaces. The shaper holds the single point cutting tool in ram and the workpiece ..
The tightening tools include pliers, screwdrivers and wrenches, which are discussed under. 1. Pliers Pliers are namely ordinary needle noses and particular types ..
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), also known as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, the filler metal is supplied from a filler wire as shown in the figure below. ..
In Water Jet Machining (WJM) process, water jets alone (without abrasives) can be used for cutting. Thin jets of high pressure and high velocity have been ..
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is also called metal inert gas (MIG) welding. In the gas metal arc welding process, the weld area is shielded by an inert atmosphere ..
Plasma Arc Welding (PAW) is an arc welding process; an entire plasma arc is produced and directed towards the weld area. The arc is stable and reaches temperatures ..
The die casting process is a manufacturing process for producing accurately dimensioned, sharply defined, smooth or textured surface metal parts. It is accomplished ..
A simple pendulum consists of a concentrated mass known as the ‘bob,’ which is free to swing from side to side at the end of a light cord or rod. When ..
Hydraulic turbines are Machines that convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is used in running an electric generator directly coupled ..
The gas turbine power plant is also called a combustion turbine power plant. The gas turbine is a type of continuous combustion, an internal combustion engine. There ..
Losses in steam turbines can be mainly classified into two types. They are: Internal losses (which occur within the flow of Steam) and External losses (which occur ..
