The word cavitation we heard several times in the application of fluid. It has many dis-advantages in the fluid flow and it should be avoided. To neglect the effect of cavitation, firstly we have to understand the basic concepts about it like, what is cavitation and How it is formed in fluid flow like in …
Solar power plant works by absorbing the sunrays which are in the form of radiation coming from the sun. Sun is the major source of energy on the earth. Solar energy enters into the earth’s atmosphere in the form of radiations at different wavelength. These radiations can be converted into other form of energy such …

In running mechanical system different kinds of fluctuation and variation occurs due to various factors. These kinds of disturbances should be avoided for the accurate performance of mechanical system. The speed of the running parts varies according to loads and power input, so to make the system stable under various fluctuations we require some devices …
Refrigeration is a process of cooling or maintain a body at lower temperature than surrounding. There are many type of refrigeration system one of them is vapour absoption refrigeration system. This refrigeration system is different from compression refrigeration system. In compression refrigeration system we used a compressor which is run by electricity but absorption refrigeration …

Cam and follower is a type of assembly, both works together in any machine element. It is the example of higher pair due to the line contact between them. Some complicated motions are easily achieved by using cams and followers which are difficult to achieve. Cam is a mechanical element which is used to deliver …
Theory of failure describe the elastic failure of the mechanical components. At the time of working machine components subjected to various loads which cause different types of stress in it. Theories of failure help us to determine the safe dimensions of the machine components when they are subjected to bi-axial or tri-axial state of stresses. …
We know about fatigue and feel it many times in our body after long workout. Similarly engineering components are also fails due to fatigue. Fatigue failure in any engineering component occurs when these components are subjected to cyclic loading or we can say that the fluctuating stresses are induced in the components. Fatigue is the …
Degree of freedom is defined as the minimum number of independent variables required to define the position or motion of a system is known as degree of freedom. It is the property of kinematic chain which shows that in how many directions the connected links of the kinematic can move freely. It is also known …

A gear train is combination of two or more gears which are mesh together and used to transmit motion/power from one shaft to another. The gear trains are mostly used in high speed reduction where area is constraint like in watches. A gear train is combination of spur gear, bevel gears and helical gears etc …

Heat exchangers are the devices which are used to exchange heat between two or more fluids which are at different temperature. Heat exchangers are major devices used in engineering field and have vast application in engineering processes like in refrigeration and air conditioning system, food processing system, powder plants, chemical reactors and aeronautical applications. Heat …
