Introduction Manual Transmission (MT) or Automatic Transmission (AT), which is best? This is always being a hot topic for debate when it comes to choosing a vehicle for different purposes, as both the transmission systems have advantages over each other which gives rise to many questions like why the Formula Cars being the best automobile […]
Introduction “Shift the gear” Got thrills?, Of Course you do, we the automobile enthusiasts always get goosebumps when it comes to gear up or gear down, but ever wonder how is it done? What happens when we pull or push the gear lever? Why there is some cars with no clutch pedals? What makes a
Geothermal power plant uses hydrothermal energy of the earth for heating as well as electricity production. What is this hydrothermal energy resource? So it is an energy source which has both water and heat, the heat beneath the earth (magma) is used to heat the water present inside the earth. The hydrothermal resources are bring
Introduction “Mechanical component shows wear and tear” this theory wakes up an engineer’s mind and forces him to innovate more to achieve an ideal system, Since the moving mechanical components cause wear and tear which we count as a limitation of the component, the questions arise, Can we avoid the use of distributor in an

The pattern is the replica of the device which is the output of the casting process. This when molded in sand forms mold. After filling the mold with the molten metal there is a formation of casting. Patterns play a very important role in casting as they decide the quality as well as perfection in
During the casting of metals in the foundry shop we use sand for the preparation of mould. It is the moulding sand properties which improves the quality of the casting metal. If sand of suitable property is chosen, then it greatly minimises the casting defects that may be produced during the mould preparation and casting.
What is Casting Defects? It is an unwanted irregularities that appear in the casting during metal casting process. There is various reason or sources which is responsible for the defects in the cast metal. Here in this section we will discuss all the major types of casting defects. Some of the defects produced may be
