As we have discussed in the previous article, the Porter governor has the central load on the sleeve, now we are going to modify it by extending the links upward to support the revolving balls to make the Proell Governor. This will make the Proell governer more sensitive than the Porter Governor. Proell Governor This […]
What is Porter Governor? How does it work?
The Porter governor is a modification of Watt’s governor with an additional central load attached to the sleeve. In the previous article, we have discussed the Watt Governor in detail. The Watt governor is the simple centrifugal governor which works based on the balancing of the centrifugal force as the working principle. Now let’s discuss […]
What is Watt Governor?
The simplest type of Centrifugal Governor is the Watt governor. In the previous article, we have discussed the Centrifugal governer in detail. In this article, we are going to discuss the Watt Governor in more detail. Watt Governor The main working principle behind Watt governor is the balancing of the centrifugal force. So these come […]
What is Section Modulus?
Section Modulus is also referred to as the Polar Modulus or the Torsional Sectional Modulus. It is denoted by Zp. Along with these, there are two more definitions also there to discuss. So let’s discuss this topic in more detail. (FYI: We discuss this topic more in terms of circular shafts, If you are looking […]
What is Governor in Engine? How Does it Work?
The main function of the Governor in the IC Engines is to regulate the mean speed of the engine when there is a variation in the load. But there the flywheel is used to control the fluctuations of the speed during each cycle. It should not be confused with the governor function with the flywheel […]
What is D′Alembert’s Principle?
What does D′Alembert’s principle state that “The system of forces acting on a body in motion and the Inertia force of the body is in dynamic equilibrium” But how does this helpfull? Where it is applied? Do you know Newton’s second law (Law of acceleration)? What did it state? It states F=ma. Whereas F = […]
What is Flywheel? Why it is used?
The Flywheel, so-called the Energy reservoir also some times referred to as the inertia ring. This is used to store the energy during the period when the supply of energy is more than the required and utilise it during the period when it is less than the required in the cyclic operation. Flywheel In the […]
Turning Moment Diagram for a Four Stroke Engine
What is the Turning Moment Diagram? The turning_moment diagram is the plot between the turning moment of the crank to the position of the crank. It is also known as the Crank-Effort Diagram since it represents the crank-effort for various positions of the crank. Turning Moment Diagram As we said above the turning_moment diagram is […]
Different Types of Gear Trains used in the Power Transmissions
As we have discussed the different types of gears and their classifications and the gear terminology to start study more about the gears. The word “Gear train” defined as the one or more gears are meshed together to transmit the power between the driven and driven shafts. It is also called as the train of […]
Classification of Gears
In the previous article, we have discussed the details regarding the Gear terminology. Now we will discuss the classification of Gears. The gear wheels are basically classified by different criteria as follows. According to the position of axes of the shaft According to the position of teeth on the gear surface According to the type […]
Gear Terminology: Terms Used in Gears
In the Power transmission segment, gears have a significant role in transmitting the torque by the required velocity (transmission ratio) at the driver end to the driven end without any slipping. To begin with, first, we need to understand the Gear terminology, and followed by the different types of gears and their classification. Gear Terminology […]
What is a Clutch? | Friction Clutch
In the power transmission domain, the clutch has a significant role for transmitting the power between driver and driven which must be started and stopped frequently. A Clutch is used in this application to do the job. Let’s discuss more details on the Friction Clutch. Friction Clutch A friction clutch is a device is used […]
How to calculate the Torque required to lift the load by a Screw Jack?
Jackscrew, also known for the screw jack or a worm screw jack, machine screw jack, lead screw jack like many names. This device is used to lift heavy loads with a comparatively smaller effort with a hand lever. It basically converts the rotary motion into linear motion with a screw and nut. Screw Jack As […]
What are the different types of Friction?
It is almost impossible to produce frictionless surfaces for machine components. Even a very smooth surface is viewed under a microscope, it is found to have roughness and irregularities. which is impossible to check by an ordinary touch. So friction becomes a common problem for some cases and for some cases it is necessary to […]
What is the Concept Development Process?
As we have already discussed what are the different Product development processes, the concept development process is the front-end process of all the other product development processes. Now we will discuss the Concept Development process in detail. Concept Development Process As we said above the concept development process is the front-end process. It requires more […]
What are the Product Development Processes?
As we have already discussed what is product design & development and the challenges in the previous article, Now we will look into the different Product Development Processes and understand the significance. Product Development Processes The product development processes are the sequence of the activities that a firm or a business enterprise employs to conceive, […]
What are the Challenges of Product Development?
With the first article, on the Product design Engineering, we have discussed the characteristics of the successful product and the organizations involved in the process with in the firm. Now we will discuss the Challenges of Product Development. Challenges of Product Development Developing a new product is a challenging task. Few companies will only succeed. […]
What is Product Design Engineering?
The process of developing ideas, converting it into new product and bring it into the market by the organisations to satisfy the customer needs is known as the Product Design Engineering. With this article, we will be able to understand what is the product design engineering, and what are the characteristics of a successful product […]
What are the Double Slider crank mechanism Inversions?
In the previous article, we have discussed what is the kinematic chain and the important types of kinematic chains. The Double Slider crank chain is one of the important kinematic chains. Let discuss the different inversion of the Double Slider crank mechanism. Double Slider Crank Mechanism The name it self represent that it will have two sliding pairs […]
What are the Single Slider crank mechanism Inversions?
In the previous article, we have discussed what is the kinematic chain and the important types of kinematic chains. The Single Slider crank mechanism is one of the important kinematic chains. Let’s discuss the different inversions of the Single Slider crank. Single Slider Crank Chain Mechanism The Single Slider Crank Chain mechanism is nothing but the modified Four […]
