A cranked lever is a hand lever commonly used for operating hoisting winches. Usually, a Mechanical Lever is a rigid rod or bar capable of turning about a fixed point called a fulcrum. It is used as a machine to lift a load by the application of a small effort. Let us discuss more on how we can […]
Fluid Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the behaviour of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. Fluid mechanics can be divided into two subfields fluid statics, which studies fluids at rest; and fluid dynamics, which studies fluids in motion. Fluid mechanics is based on several mathematical relationships that describe the kinematics, stress, conservation, regulation, and constitutive properties of fluids.
Hydraulic Machines are defined as those machines which convert either hydraulic energy (energy possessed by water) into mechanical energy (which is further converted into electrical energy ) or mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. The hydraulic machines, which convert the hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, are called turbines while the hydraulic machines which convert the mechanical energy into hydraulic energy are called pumps.
How does Gear Wheel Pump work?

How does Air Lift Pump work?
The Air Lift pump is a device which is used for lifting water from a well or sump by using compressed air. The compressed air is made to mix with the water. The Air Lift pump has no moving parts and relies on the difference in density between the air and water mixture and the […]
Hydraulic Coupling vs Torque Converter
The fluid or hydraulic coupling is a device used for transmitting power from the driving shaft to the driven shaft with the help of a fluid (generally oil). Whereas the hydraulic torque converter is a device used for transmitting increased torque at the driven shaft. There is no need for a mechanical connection between the […]

How to calculate the Weight lifted by Hydraulic Press?
The hydraulic press is a device used for lifting heavy weights by the application of a much smaller force. It is based on Pascal’s law, which states that the intensity of pressure in a static fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. Let us discuss How we can calculate the Weight lifted by the hydraulic […]
Importance of Air Vessels In Reciprocating Pump
