Cochran Boiler

Cochran Boiler: Construction, Working Principle, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications

Leave a Comment / Boilers, Thermal Engineering /

The Cochran boiler is a compact, vertical, multi-tubular fire-tube boiler designed for low-pressure steam generation. It is widely used in small industries where space is limited and steam demand is moderate. What makes the Cochran boiler unique is its hemispherical furnace, which provides better strength and improved heat transfer compared to older vertical boilers. This boiler operates on natural circulation […]

Babcock and Wilcox Boiler – Construction, Working, Advantages, Disadvantages & Applications

Leave a Comment / Boilers, Thermal Engineering /

The Babcock and Wilcox boiler is one of the most widely recognized high-pressure water-tube boilers used in thermal power plants and large industrial setups. It plays a critical role wherever a continuous supply of high-pressure, high-temperature steam is required—especially for electricity generation. Unlike fire-tube boilers, water flows inside the tubes while hot flue gases pass around them, allowing efficient

Difference Between Impulse and Reaction Turbine

Leave a Comment / Difference Between, Fluid Mechanics /

In this article, we will discuss all the major difference between impulse and reaction turbine. Both types of turbine are used in power plants for the generation of electricity. Instead of their same work of producing electricity, they are differing from each other in much respect. Here we will discuss various differences among them in detail.

Types of Wind Turbines – Horizontal Axis and Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

1 Comment / Fluid Mechanics, Types of /

In this article we will learn about different types of wind turbines with their advantages and disadvantages and difference between them. Basically the turbines are used to convert the wind energy into electrical energy with the help of a generator. It extracts the energy from the wind and converts it into mechanical energy and then

Leave a Comment / Manufacturing Process /

Definition of CNC Machine Let me first introduce you about what is CNC machine, so CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. When computers are used to control a Numerical Control (NC) machine tool than the machine is called CNC machine. In other words, the use of computers to control machine tools like lathe, mills, slotter,

Difference between stress and strain

Difference Between Stress and Strain in Strength of Materials

Leave a Comment / Difference Between, Strength of Materials /

In mechanics of solids, the knowledge of difference between stress and strain is very important. When an external force is applied on a body, it starts to deform. the external force applied on the body induces a resisting force within the body, when this resisting force is taken on unit area is called stress. There
