1 HP=how much rpm | Latest Updates in Mechanical Engineering
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 engine
Engine specifications are different in different manufactures like as bore diameter(cc), ignition timing. Also the exhaust passage take more responsible for sound.
-
Why entropy decreases with the increase in temperature?
ds=dQ/T
Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperature so.as temp. increases,entropy decreases
-
What type of metal is used in a propeller | Latest Updates in Mechanical Engineering
Aluminium,stainless steel,magnesium bronze, NIBRAL (nickel,brass,aluminium)
-
Why involute curve used in gear | Latest Updates in Mechanical Engineering
1) it’s smooth to drive the gear.
2) in gears contact is only point, this type is curve take the more load than normal one
-
How Trains take turns, though there is no any differential
Purpose of the differential is to enable vehicles to take turn, by allowing both the wheel to rotate with different speed. This is required when wheels, like in car, are connected with same axle. Interestingly, wheel in trains are not connected with the axle, they are independent and hence can take turns without ant differential. This is same as how the bullock cart takes turns, without any differential.
-
In condensation of steam power plant, steam sent in shell side and cooling water on the tube side because
- To increase overall heat transfer coefficient of water side velocity can be increases if water is on the tube side
- Condenser can act as a storage unit for condensed steam
- Rate of condensation of steam is invariably smaller than the mass flow rate of cooling water
- It is easier to maintain vacuum on the shell side than on the tube side
Answer:
1. To increase overall heat transfer coefficient of water side velocity can be increases if water is on the tube side
Reason:
Specific volume of steam is larger so more volume is required in condenser
-
Why freezer in the fridge is placed in top level? | Latest Updates in Mechanical Engineering
Because density of cold air is higher than warm air,hence it is placed at top. Cold air comes downward & cool the bottom part.
-
What is more dangerous longitudinal stress or Hoop stress and why? | Latest Updates in Mechanical Engineering
Hoop stress is more dangerous than longitudinal stress, because the dangerous area coming under the hoop stress is circumferential,while in longitudinal,the axial area will come under dangerous area will will be less than circumferential area.So the hoop stress is more dangerous than longitudinal stress.

- Cooled and humidified
- Cooled and dehumidified
Answer:
Heated and humidified
-
Why fine grained structure is harder than coarse grain structure? | Latest Updates in Mechanical Engineering
Answer:
The smaller the grain size, the more frequent is the pile up of dislocations. With decrease in grain size, the mean distance of a dislocation can travel decreases, and soon starts pile up of dislocations at grain boundaries. This leads to increase in yield strength of the material.
-
