Gear terminology with defination
Gears are widely used in many applications and industries in machines. The primary function of gear is ti transmit power from one place to another place, To transmit power and get maximum work at the minimum input, gears are designed accordingly. Here are some basic definitions used in gear terminology. Gear Terminology Pitch circle […]
Classification of bearings
A bearing is the basic element of any rotating mechanism. You can observe bearing is any simple mechanism, for example, the fan at your home, the mixture in your kitchen, your bicycle contain bearing inside it. There are various types of the bearings as per their application. Here is the basic classification of bearings which are […]
System and surroundings in thermodynamics
A system of thermodynamics can be defined as a matter or region on which analysis is done. The system is separated from surrounding by the boundary. Everything external to the system is surrounding. System and surroundings in thermodynamics together is called a universe. System and surroundings in thermodynamics System: Any matter or region […]
Types of heat exchanger
Heat exchange is the equipment which transfers heat from hot fluid to cold fluid with maximum rate and minimum investment. There are various types of heat exchanger based on application and process requirement. Here is the list of some basic types of heat exchanger. Types of heat exchanger On the basis of nature of […]
Thermal conductivity of material
The thermal conductivity of a material is the rate of heat transfer from a unit thickness of material per unit area and unit temperature difference. For example, if the rate of heat transfer for a material is k with thickness 1 meter and the temperature difference of 1 Kelvin and areas of the 1 square-meter, […]
Thermal conduction mechanism in solid liquid and gas
Initially, thermal conduction was known as diffusion. Heat flow is the term used when conduction is within a single body while heat transfer is the term when conduction is between tow separate body in physical contact. Heat transfers from hot body to cold body. Thermal conduction can be defined as the transfer of heat from […]
Cutting tool terminology with detailed explanation
The cutting tool is the key element in machining where metal removal is required for whatsoever reason. For best output and optimum performance with minimum efforts and work input, the cutting tool is designed in a specific way. There are various terms associated with the design of the cutting tool. Here is cutting tool terminology with […]
Definition of mechanical properties of materials
Property of the material is the key term which helps us to identify the characteristics s of material and utilise it in application to get most out of it with minimum efforts. Just like length, width and height, of an object, a material also possesses certain characteristics which make them different from another. Here is […]
