Engineering Workshop Notes, Viva Questions [PDF]
As you have seen that Engineering Drawing is a common lab for all Engineering students, similarly Engineering Workshop is also the common theory/lab for all the branches of Engineering. It is also called Engineering Workshop Practices (EWP) or Workshop Manufacturing Practices (WMP) depending on the subject format(syllabus). Syllabus of Engineering Workshop In this article, whatever […]
Different Types of Steel and Their Properties [PDF]
Steels are widely used materials in the industry. They are the alloys of iron, carbon and other elements such as silicon, phosphorus, sulphur and manganese. The carbon present in the form of iron-carbide(Fe3C) increases the hardness and strength of the steel. Steels are classified based on their chemical composition, applications, and methods of production. In this article, I […]
Components of Robot: Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications [PDF]
A robot is derived from the Czech word ‘robota’ which means slave labor and was invented by Karel Capek in 1917. Therefore, In this article, I will be explaining the Components of Robot along with its Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications. Definition of Robot: The Robot is defined as A "re-programmable, multi-functional manipulator designed to move […]
Winter & Summer Air Conditioning System [PDF]
Before knowing about Air conditioning, you should have to know about the concept of Psychometry. In the last article, we discussed Refrigeration-Introduction, Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycle & Vapor Absorption Refrigeration Cycle. Psychometric Properties: Properties of a mixture of air and water are called psychometric properties. Dry air: Pure dry air is a mixture of no. of gases […]
Vapour Compression Refrigeration Cycle: Components, Working Principle, Process, Advantages, Disadvantages & Applications [PDF]
Vapour Compression Refrigeration Cycle is the most widely used refrigeration system. In this system, the working fluid is a vapor. It readily evaporates and condenses or changes alternatively between the vapor and liquid phase without leaving the refrigerating plant. During evaporation, it absorbs heat from the cold body and this heat is used as its […]
