Stress concentration is the accumulation of stress in a body due to sudden change in its geometry. When there is a sudden change in the geometry of the body due to cracks, sharp corners, holes and decrease in the cross section area, then there is an increase in the localised stress near these cracks, sharp […]

In this article, we will discuss about the difference between SI engine and CI engine. The Spark Ignition (SI) engine, as its name indicates uses spark to ignite the fuel. In a Compression Ignition (CI) engine, the air is compressed within the cylinder and the heat of this compression air is used to ignite the

Since there are many types of springs but here I will discuss their types only on the basis of their shapes and how the load force is applied on them. The springs are defined as an elastic body which stores mechanical energy and gets distorted when loaded and regains its original shape when load is
In this article, we will learn about the difference between turbocharger and supercharger. They both are forced induction system i.e. they compress the air from the atmosphere and sends it to the engine cylinder. The compressed air allows a double amount of fuel to enter into the cylinder for combustion. This doubles the power of

In this article, you will learn about the lever safety valve – definition, main parts and working. It is used for the boiler. The main purpose of this safety valve is to prevent the explosion of the boiler due to the increased steam pressure. This device helps to prevent a major accidents in steam power

Loeffler Boiler is a forced circulation, high pressure, and water tube boiler with an internally fired furnace. In this boiler, the 2/3 of superheated steam is used to evaporate the water in the evaporating drum, and the remaining 1/3 of the steam from the superheater is used by the turbine. A steam circulating pump is

What is Lamont Boiler? Lamont boiler is a high pressure, forced circulation, water tube boiler with internally fired furnace. An external pump is used to circulate the water within small diameter water tubes of the boiler. This boiler was invented by Walter Douglas La-Mont in the year 1925. At that time this boiler was invented

What is Benson Boiler? Benson Boiler is a high pressure, drumless, supercritical, water tube steam boiler with forced circulation. This boiler was invented in the year 1922 by Mark Benson. This boiler is a supercritical boiler in which the feed water is compressed to a supercritical pressure and this prevents the formation of bubbles in

Steam Condenser is a mechanical device that converts the low-pressure exhaust steam from the turbine into water. Or in other words, it is a device that is used to condense exhaust steam of the turbine into water. It does so with the help of cooling water circulated into it from the cooling tower. It works
