Air Bearings An air bearing is a non-contacting system where a gas film (typically air) acts as the lubricant that separates the two surfaces in relative motion. Air bearing technology offers real advantages to applications where the demand for accuracy, speed and reliability is crucial. Air bearings avoid the traditional bearing-related problems of friction, wear, and […]
Diagram shows the principal parts of an I.C. engine. The details regarding the various parts of the engine are as follow: Cylinder Cylinder head Piston Rings Connecting rod Crank Crank case Valves Cams Flywheel Cylinder: It is the cylindrical vessel in which the fuel is burnt and the power is developed. It is considered as
Vacuum braking system is a system which uses only the vacuum for the application of brakes. WORKING OF VACUUM BRAKE SYSTEM The brakes are always in released condition with vacuum unit the driver pushes the brake pedal. In this condition position of piston cap is in cap end of the brake cylinder and cam is
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGLE And MULTI PLATE CLUTCH The number of pairs of contacting surfaces in the single plate clutch is one or at the most, two. There are more number of contacting surfaces in the multi-disk clutch. As the number of contacting surfaces is increased, the torque transmitting capacity is also increased, other conditions being

Multi plate clutch consists of more than one clutch plates contrary to single plate clutch which consists of only one plate. Friction surfaces are made in case of multi-plate clutch. Due to increased number of friction surfaces, a multi-plate clutch can transmit large torque. Therefore, it is used in racing cars and heavy motor vehicles

SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH A single plate is most common type of clutch used in cars and light vehicles. It has only one clutch plate which is mounted on the splines of the clutch shaft. A flywheel is mounted on the crankshaft of the engine. A pressure plate is connected to the flywheel through the bolts

TWO-STROKE CYCLE DIESEL ENGINE DIAGRAM FOUR-STROKE CYCLE DIESEL ENGINE DIAGRAM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO-STROKE AND FOUR-STROKE CYCLE DIESEL ENGINES A brief but critical comparison of the merits and limitations of the two-stroke-cycle diesel engine compared with the four-stroke power unit is made below. Theoretically, almost twice the power can be developed with a two-stroke engine compared

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO-STROKE AND FOUR-STROKE CYCLE PETROL ENGINES The following remarks compare the main points regarding the effectiveness of both engine cycles. The two-stroke engine completes one cycle of events for every revolution of the crankshaft, compared with the two revolutions required for the four-stroke engine cycle. Theoretically, the two-stroke engine should develop twice the

WHAT IS A SOLAR TREE? A solar tree is a decorative means of producing solar energy and also electricity. It uses multiple no of solar panels which forms the shape of a tree. The panels are arranged in a tree fashion in a tall tower/pole. TREE stands for T= TREE GENERATING R=RENEWABLE E=ENERGY and E=ELECTRICITY

HOW SOLAR CELLS WORKS? Solar cells, which largely are made from crystalline silicon work on the principle of Photoelectric Effect that this semiconductor exhibits. Silicon in its purest form- Intrinsic Silicon doped with a doping impurity to yield Extrinsic Silicon of desired characteristic (p-type or n-type Silicon). When p and n type silicon combine, they
