Hydraulic Machines

Introduction

The subject ' Hydraulic Machines' may be defined as that branch of Engineering - science which deals with the machines run by water under some head or raising the water to higher levels.

Impact of Water Jets

What is the impact of jets of water in hydraulic machines and fluid dynamics? What force does a water jet imposes on different surfaces like plane surface, curved surface and moving curved vanes etc.

 The following relations are important :

(a) Force exerted by a jet of water impinging normally on a fixed plate,

(b) Force exerted by a jet of water impinging normally (i.e. perpendicular) on a fixed plate inclined at an angle 0 (as shown in Fig. 4.1) is

                       

Force exerted by the jet in the direction of flow,

 

 

and force exerted by the jet in a direction normal to flow,

 

 

(c) When a jet of water enters and leaves the curved fixed plate or vane tangentially, then the force of the jet along normal to the plate

 

 

 

(d) Force exerted by a jet of water impinging normally on a plate which due to the impact of jet, moves in the direction of jet with a velocity v is

Shaper Machine

Introduction :  The shaper is a machine tool used primarily for: 1. Producing a flat or plane surface which may be in a horizontal, a vertical or an angular plane. 2. Making slots, grooves and keyways 3. Producing contour of concave/convex or a combination of these Working Principle :  The job is rigidly fixed on the machine table. The single point cutting tool held properly in the tool post is mounted on a reciprocating ram. The reciprocating motion of the ram is obtained by a quick return motion mechanism. As the ram reciprocates, the tool cuts the material during its forward stroke. During return, there is no cutting action and this stroke is called the idle stroke. The forward and return strokes constitute one operating cycle of the shaper. Construction : The main parts of the Shaper machine is Base, Body (Pillar, Frame, Column), Cross rail, Ram and tool head (Tool Post, Tool Slide, Clamper Box Block). Base : The base is a heavy cast iron casting which is fixed to t...

What is mechanical engineering?

Technically, mechanical engineering is the application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering from design to manufacturing to the marketplace for any object. Mechanical engineers analyze their work using the principles of motion, energy, and force — ensuring that designs function safely, efficiently, and reliably, all at a competitive cost. Mechanical engineers make a difference. That’s because mechanical engineering careers center on creating technologies to meet human needs. Virtually every product or service in modern life has probably been touched in some way by a mechanical engineer to help humankind.   This includes solving today’s problems and creating future solutions in health care, energy, transportation, world hunger, space exploration, climate change, and more.   Being ingrained in many challenges and innovations across many fields means a mechanical engineering education is versatile.

Forging Process

Forging Process   Forging process  is perhaps the oldest metal working process and was known even during prehistoric days when metallic tools were made by heating and hammering. Forging is basically involves plastic deformation of material between two dies to achieve desired configuration. Depending upon complexity of the part forging is carried out as open die forging and closed die forging. In open die forging process, the metal is compressed by repeated blows by a mechanical hammer and shape is manipulated manually.                                                                            ...
