Thermal Power Plant : Principle, Parts, Working, Advantages and Disadvantages

Basic Introduction or Principle: We all are aware with the term "Generator". A device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is known as generator. This generator makes rotate with the help of some kind of external energy. When this energy extract from the energy of steam, the plant is known as steam power plant.  A simple steam plant works on Rankine cycle. In the first step, water is feed into a boiler at a very high pressure by BFP (boiler feed pump). This high pressurized water is heated into a  boiler   which converts it into high pressurized super heated steam. This high energized steam passes through steam  turbine  (a mechanical device which converts flow energy of fluid into mechanical energy) and rotate it. Owing to extract full energy of steam, three stage turbines is used which is known as LPT (Low pressure turbine), IPT (intermediate pressure turbine) and HPT (High pressure turbine). The turbine shaft is connected to the generator rot

Motorized 2 Wheel Scooter Project


2 Wheeler scooters are an efficient and favorite transportation medium among children and people. We here propose a motorized 2 wheel scooter to make it an e scooter. 2 Wheeler mini scooters are light weight, easily foldable and to carry around. For this purpose we here use a motorized arrangement to couple the scooter wheel with a motor so motor power can be utilized to move the scooter as its engine. For this purpose we use a shaft designed for our dc motor. We then use a gear arrangement to mount it to the back wheel of the scooter. We now mount the gear of the motor in a particular arrangement with the wheel gear so as to transfer the maximum torque of the motor to the wheel without jerks. We now use control circuitry to drive the motor at variable speed so we can control the scooter speed using a remote that can be mounted on the scooter handle. We use a battery to drive the motor and circuitry. Thus we develop a motorized scooter running on electricity for intercity travel.



Components
  • Motor gear
  • High power motor
  • Wheel gear
  • Connecting frame
  • Support Frame
  • Control Circuitry
  • Battery

Advantages
  • Inter City Transport
  • No Fuel Needed
  • No Human Effort Needed

New imaging technique could detect acoustically 'invisible' cracks

The next generation of aircraft could be thinner and lighter thanks to the development of a new imaging technique that could detect damage previously invisible to acoustic imaging systems. The nonlinear acoustic technique developed by researchers from the University of Bristol's Ultrasonics and Non-destructive Testing (NDT) research group is published in the current issue of  Physical Review Letters  together with an accompanying article in  Physics . It has long been understood that acoustic nonlinearity is sensitive to many physical properties including material microstructure and mechanical damage. The lack of effective imaging has, however, held back the use of this important method. Currently engineers are able to produce images of the interior of components using ultrasound, but can only detect large problems such as cracks. This is like detecting only broken bones in a medical environment. Imaging of acoustic nonlinearity is achieved by exploiting differences in

Main Parts of an Internal Combustion Engine

Today we will learn about main parts of an engine. An internal combustion engine is the engine in which combustion (burning of fuel) takes place inside the cylinder of engine. By burning of the fuel high temperature and pressure force generates. This pressure force use to move the vehicle or rotate wheels by use of some mechanism. In an engine many parts work together and achieve the goal of converting chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy. These parts are bolted together and the combination of all these parts is known as engine. Today I am going to tell you about these parts and how they work so you can know the basic of automobile engine. Main Parts of an Internal Combustion Engine: 1. Cylinder block Cylinder is the main body of IC engine. Cylinder is a part in which the intake of fuel, compression of fuel and burning of fuel take place. The main function of cylinder is to guide the piston. It is in direct contact with the products of combustion so it must b

Pedal Operated Hacksaw

Pedal Operated Hacksaw Operating a hacksaw manually is a very tiring and time consuming task. It requires a lot of manual effort and delivers uneven cutting. Operating a electrical hacksaw does deliver good results but consumes a lot of energy. So here we propose a semi automated hacksaw using pedal power. Here we design and fabricate a hacksaw that is run by pedal power and achieves even cutting with very less efforts. Here we use a chain sprocket arrangement to transfer power from pedals to hacksaw. A strong and firm base frame allows for efficient power transfer between the system. We use bearings and mounts to mount and setup the entire system and ensure a smooth circular motion of pedals. Now we attach a hub to the other sprocket. This hub is connected with a connecting rod which moves with the hub in order to produce a lateral motion. We now develop a supporting frame and connect a saw to the other end in order to achieve desired cutting movement of saw. We also attach
