Flow over an airfoil

INTRODUCTION - ROTATING SHAFT: Rotating shaft - a revolving rod that transmits power or motion. The camshaft has cams attached to it. Crankshaft - a rotating shaft driven by a crank. Driveshaft - a rotating shaft that transmits power from the engine to the point of application. AIM: To…

INTRODUCTION – CENTRIFUGAL PUMP: Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. They are a sub-class of dynamic axisymmetric work-absorbing turbomachinery.…

INTRODUCTION – FLOW BENCH:An airflow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component and is related to the more familiar wind tunnel. A flow bench consists of an air pump of some sort, a metering element, pressure and temperature measuring instruments such as manometers,…

AIR FOIL: An airfoil or aerofoil is the cross-sectional shape of a wing, blade (of a propeller, rotor, or turbine), or sail. An airfoil-shaped body moving through a fluid produces an aerodynamic force. ANGLE OF ATTACK IN AIRFOIL: The Angle of Attack is the angle at which relative wind…

INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS: It is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and algorithms to solve fluid flow situations. High-performing computers are used to conduct the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary…

INTRODUCTION: The valve train consists of the valves and a mechanism that opens and closes them. The opening and closing system is called a camshaft. The cams on the shaft activate the valves directly or through a very short linkage.              …

INTRODUCTION TO PISTON KINEMATICS: Automotive industry deals with reciprocating engines, in which the piston has a linear motion within the cylinder. The crank mechanism transforms the linear movement of the piston into rotational movement of the crankshaft. It consist of the following parts: Piston…

Introduction to Gear: Gears are mechanisms that mesh together via teeth and are used to transmit rotary motion from one shaft to another. They are typically mounted, or connected to other parts, via a shaft or base. Also defined by two important items: radius and number of teeth. They are typically…

AIM:-      To perform and stimulate the Multibody Dynamics using Solidworks for the Internal Geneva Mechanism.   OBJECTIVE:- To create motion study for two conditions: 60 frames per second and 10 rpm motor speed. 120 frames per second and 20 rpm motor speed. To create 3D models for driver and driven…
