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

4. Three point method:

This method is used when we know the two points from which the circle pass.
Procedure:
  • Select Circle tool from the quick access toolbar or press C enter.
  • Now press 3P and enter.
  • Now specified these three point from which circle pass by simply clicking the left click of mouse on drawing area. You can also use absolute coordinate by selecting first point by x,y and same as second and third point point.
Example:
To draw a circle which pass from three point (4,2) , (8,4) and (2,2).

Solution:
AUTOCAD TUTORIAL: Chapter 2 Introduction Of 2D Drawing Tool > Circle Tool

C enter               (select the tool)
3P enter             (select three point option)
4,2enter             (specified first point)
8,4 enter            (specified second point)
2,2 enter            (specified third point)

5. Tangent tangent radius method:

This method is used when we know two tangent of the circle and radius of the circle.
Procedure:
  • Select Circle tool from the quick access toolbar or press C enter.
  • Now press TTR or T and enter.
  • Now specified first and second tangent by clicking on the tangent with the mouse.
  • Now enter the radius of circle and press enter.
Example:
To draw a circle which has two tangents line AB and curve PQR and whose radius is 8.
Solution:
AUTOCAD TUTORIAL: Chapter 2 Introduction Of 2D Drawing Tool > Circle Tool

C enter                        (select the tool)
TTR OR T enter             (select Tangent-tangent-radius option)
Select the line AB.
Select the curve PQR.
8 enter                        (enter the radius)

6. Tangent-Tangent-Tangent method:

This method is used when we know three tangent of the circle.
Procedure:
  • Select the tangent-tangent-tangent option on drop down menu of the circle on the quick access toolbar.
  • Now specified first ,second and third tangent by clicking on the tangent with the mouse.

Example:
To draw a circle which has three tangent line AB, line CD and curve PQR.
Solution:
AUTOCAD TUTORIAL: Chapter 2 Introduction Of 2D Drawing Tool > Circle Tool

Setect the circle TTT tool from the quick access toolbar > draw toolbar> circle> drop down menu> TTT.
Seclet line AB.
Select line CD.
Select curve PQR.

Exercise:

Problem 1 : draw a circle whose radius is 8 and center lies at point (4,4).

Problem 2 : draw the following diagram-

Automated Portable Hammering Machine

Automated Portable Hammering Machine Hammering is the most widely used industrial as well as construction activity. Hammering or screws, metal sheets, parts etc requires a lot of time and effort. So here we propose an automated hammering system that allows for fully automatic hammering process. This allows for accurate, fast and automated hammering wherever and whenever needed using a 12V battery. The person just needs to insert workpeice and start the hammering machine. This machine can be used for automatic hammering work as and when needed. We here use a dc motor in order to move the hammer. The DC motor consists of a pulley attached to it which is connected to a larger pulley for efficient power transfer and to increase torque. This large pulley is connected to a shaft that has a connecting rod attached to it. This rod is used to achieve lateral motion from the spinning shaft. We now connect the other end of hammer to this connecting rod through a mid swinging arrangement in

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

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
