Valve Train: A valve train is a mechanical system that controls operation of the valves in an internal combustion engine, whereby a sequence of components transmits motion throughout the assembly. A conventional reciprocating internal combustion engine uses valves to control the flow of the air/fuel admix into and out…

FlowBench: An air flow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component and is related to the more familiar wind tunnel. It is used primarily for testing the intake and exhaust ports of cylinder heads of internal combustion engines. It is also used to test the flow capabilities…

Introduction: A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support so that it swings freely back and forth under the influence of gravity. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position.…

We aim to find out the frequency and the Resultant Amplitude at different modes of vibrations in the system. The vibration analysis of the system changes with the change in the material of the system and also by the change in the…

AIM: To compare the performance of 3 types of beams under bending loads. INTRODUCTION: Bending of beams is a frequently encountered loading situation in practice. A slender member subject to traverse loads is termed as a beam under bending. At any cross-section, the traverse loads generate shear and bending moment to maintain…

Introduction: Pipe flow, a branch of hydraulics and fluid mechanics, is a type of liquid flow within a closed conduit (conduit in the sense of a means of containment). The other type of flow within a conduit is open channel flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways, but differ in one important aspect. Pipe…

AIM: To run the motion analysis on the planetary gear with a sun gear, a ring gear, a carrier, and four planet gears. INTRODUCTION: An epicyclic gear train (also known as planetary gear) consists of two gears mounted so that the center of one gear revolves around the center of the other. A carrier connects the centers…

The two different rectangular plates having different geometric parameters are used for this analysis and results compared with one another to get an idea about stress distribution and deformation for the designing…

Introduction: The Geneva drive or Maltese cross is a gear mechanism that translates a continuous rotation movement into intermittent rotary motion. The rotating drive wheel is usually equipped with a pin that reaches into a slot located in the other wheel (driven wheel) that advances it by one step at a time. The main…

What is Aerodynamics? Aerodynamics is the study of motion of air, particularly as interaction with a solid object, such as an airplane wing. It is a sub-field of fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, and many aspects of aerodynamics theory are common to these fields. The term aerodynamics is often used synonymously with gas…

Governing equations (usually Navier Stokes Equation) of fluid flow when solved are completely capable of giving solutions for both laminar flow and turbulent flow, the approach of solving the governing equations to simulate turbulence is called direct numerical simulation and even though it gives pretty accurate results…

ABSTRACT Backward step flow (BSF) is arguably the most used and benchmarked geometry for numerical CFD and experimental flow analysis which involves laminar flow, recirculating turbulent flow and turbulence model verification in 2-D and 3-D. As the flow phenomena occurring at one BSF geometry may not happen with another…

Introduction There are two major categories leading to the sudden failure of a mechanical component: Material Failure and Structural Instability, which is often called buckling. For material failures you need to consider the yield stress for ductile materials and the ultimate stress for brittle materials. Those material…

Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical functions, which possess the closest proximity to the real series of data. By curve fitting, we can mathematically construct the functional relationship between the observed dataset and parameter values etc. It is highly effective in mathematical modelling…

Introduction: A pump which is the heart of the hydraulic system, converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. The mechanical energy is delivered to the pump via a prime mover such as an electric motor. Due to mechanical action, the pump creates a partial vacuum at its inlet.
