What is important to remember about radial bearings? A turbine rotor is supported by two radial bearings, one on each end of the steam cylinder. These bearings must be accurately aligned to maintain the close clearance between the shaft and the shaft seals, and between the rotor and the casing. If excessive bearing wear lowers the he rotor, great harm

What is a radial-flow turbine? In a radial-flow turbine, steam flows outward from the shaft to the casing. The unit is usually a reaction unit, having both fixed and moving blades. What are four types of turbine seals? Carbon rings fitted in segments around the shaft and held together by garter or retainer springs. Labyrinth mated with shaft serration’s or

What is the purpose of scrapper ring Scrap the excess lube oil from the cylinder walls. There by preventing oil from entering combustion zone. How catalyst converter works? In Fuel Cell, a catalyst is a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction without itself being affected. Catalysts participate in the reactions, but are neither reactants nor products of the

1hp=how much rpm We need Torque to find out. Apply this formula: T = HP x 5252 rpm T = torque (in lb-ft) HP = horsepower 5252 = constant rpm = revolutions per minute which mechanism is used in automobile gearing system Differential mechanism why different types of sound are produced in different bikes though they say run on SI

Here in this article, check the interview questions on Strength of Materials and questions asked in Mechanical Engineering interview panels.
Read moreWhat is the function of EGR valve EGR means Exhaust Gas Recirculation. The main function of EGR is to control NOx emission from the engine. At elevated temperature (during long run & full condition)if due to some reasons engine gets heated up beyond certain level… it produces NOx emission. In order to avoid this pollution , we have to control

WLAN, which stands for Wireless Local Area Network, is the technology of networking of a number of computers with each other without requiring the usage of wires. Due to a number of WLAN’s advantages such as ease of installation, convenience, deployment, mobility, expandability, productivity and cost, the popularity of WLAN has increased among home users. Wireless access is now offered

WiMAX, which stands for “Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,” is a subset of standard, interoperable implementations within the IEEE 802.16 family of standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access Standards. WiMAX is the next-generation of wireless technology designed to enable pervasive, high-speed mobile Internet access to the widest array

WEP, which could stand for either Wired Equivalent Privacy or Wireless Encryption Protocol, is a security scheme employed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for IEEE 802.11 wireless networks since the standard’s ratification in September 1999. WEP was part of the IEEE 802.11 standard and its amendments up until IEEE 802.11i, when it was replaced by Wi-Fi

WAP, which stands for wireless access point, is a device used for the formation of a wireless network through connection of wireless communication devices. It often connects to a wired network, enabling it to transmit data between wired and wireless devices. A larger, “roaming”-enabled network may be formed by linking together several WAPs. A WAP is also able to serve
