Piston Engines Picture a tube or cylinder that holds a snugly fitting plug. The plug is free to move back and forth within this tube‚ pushed by pressure from hot gases. A rod is mounted to the moving plug; it connects to a crankshaft‚ causing this shaft to rotate rapidly. A propeller sits at the end of this shaft‚ spinning within the air. Here‚ in outline‚ is the piston engine‚ which powered all airplanes until the advent of jet engines. Pistons in cylinders first saw use in steam engines. Scotland’s

ABSTRACT The task of designing a mechanical component with design software then reverse engineering the same component in hyper mesh was assigned to groups. The engineering component chosen by group 10 is a piston for standard automobiles. The design is then accessed and redesigned for the primary purpose of improving the product. This group 10 the principle area of improvement is the weight‚ to achieve this‚ the initial material choice for design medium carbon steel is changed to aluminium alloy

widowed man who has a hard time dealing with the death of his wife and how it portrays emptiness in his life. In “The Vacuum” by Howard Nemerov‚ the poet’s use of similes and personification allows him to support the theme: Loneliness can be unbearable when it pertains to the death of a devoted loved one. Nemerov also uses similes to show a significant comparison of the wife to the vacuum cleaner and how the presence of someone special can linger on when they have passed away. In the first stanza‚ the

There have been many phenomena introduced to man within the twentieth century. The most important and interesting of these phenomena is the existential vacuum. In the 1960s‚ Viktor Frankl observed that people twentieth century have lost meaning of purpose. He also observed that the existential vacuum was worse in the United States than in Europe or developing countries. A potential cause for this feeling of emptiness is the loss of animal instinct throughout human history. Every living culture

Heat Pump ------------------------------------------------- A heat pump can provide an alternative to using your air conditioner. * Heat pumps can supply heat‚ cooling‚ and hot water. * Your climate and site will determine the type of heat pump most appropriate for your home. For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs‚ heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners. Like your refrigerator‚ heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a

CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS Introduction A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to create flow by the addition of energy to a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through piping. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller‚ flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing)‚ from where it exits into the downstream piping. Centrifugal pumps are used for
