What is Center of Gravity? Center of gravity is defined as the point where whole weight of the body supposed to be acting irrespective of its position. For every position of a body we have only one center of gravity, it does not alter (changes) with the orientation of the body. It is also defined […]

Reciprocating Air Compressor is a positive displacement air compressor in which air is sucked in a chamber and compressed with the help of a reciprocating piston. It is called as positive displacement compressor because air is first sucked in a chamber and then compression is achieved by decreasing area of the chamber. The area is
Have you ever noticed how we fill the air in the tires of our vehicles? Is there anything that helps to do that? Yes, we have air compressor to compress the air and then this air is used to fill tires of various vehicles. Air compressor has very wide application in various industries. What is
What is a Refrigerator? A refrigerator commonly called as fridge is defined as a machine which is used to maintain or keep the food materials at low temperature and prevents their spoilage. The food materials kept at low temperature spoils or degrade gradually and can remain fresh for longer time. The refrigerator generally keeps the
What is Kaplan Turbine? Kaplan Turbine is an axial flow reaction turbine with adjustable blades. This turbine was developed in the year 1913 by Viktor Kaplan, who was a Austrian Professor. In his design, he combined automatically adjusted propeller blades and automatically adjusted wicket gates to obtain efficiency over a wide range of water flow
History of an Automobile “There is nothing new in the world except the history you don’t know” very rightly said as the thing we use today always makes us curious about its history, specially engineers like me always have many question in our minds like Who invented it? , What was the idea behind the

Introduction Turbines using the impulse action of water are the best ones. No it’s not like that reaction turbines are more efficient, when all of this was happening, James B. Francis, an American civil engineer comes up with his turbine called Francis turbine. What’s different he is doing!!! He is just mixing them up. The

Introduction From wind mills to hydro-power plants we have reaction turbines all around the world to generate electricity efficiently. Almost 60% of turbines used in hydro-power plants are reaction turbine. Unlike impulse turbines they remain dipped in water and use the pressure energy of water to generate power. The idea of dipping the whole turbine
