Radiation Heat Transfer

View Factor Orientation (or View factor or shape factor) plays an important role in radiation heat transfer. View factor is defined as, "fraction of radiation leaving surface 'i' and strike 'j' ". Summation Rule (View Factor) If there is are similar surfaces 'i' and 'j' , then: Blackbody Radiation Exchange Radiation Exchange between Opaque, Diffuse, Gray surfaces in an Enclosure 1. Opaque 2. Surfaces 3. Two surface enclosure Radiation Shield It is used to protect surfaces from radiation act like a reflective surface.

Center of Gravity and Centroid

-

Center of Gravity:




It is defined as;
The resultant weight of a system which passes through a single point is called Center of Gravity ( G ). 


 Center of Mass:



It is defined as;
The point at which the whole mass of the system acts.


The concept of center of mass is cleared from the video given below:


Centroid of a Volume:

Objects having three dimensions have the centroid which is its geometric centre.

 Centroid of an Area:

Objects having two dimensions have the centroid which is its geometric centre.

Centroid of a Line:

Objects having linear dimensions have the centroid which is its geometric centre.

Composite Bodies:


A composite body consists of a series of connected simpler shaped Bodies which may be rectangular, triangular, semicircular, etc.

    Basically there is a small difference between center of mass and center of gravity.
    Center of mass is the geometric center of body whether it is symmetric or not. And center of mass is the the center on which whole body mass is concentrated.

Orthographic Projections

Projection: The term Projection is defined as: Presentation of an image or an object on a surface. The principles used to graphically represent 3-D objects and structures on 2-D media and it based on two variables: Line of Sight.  Plane of Projection.  Line of Sight & Plane of Projection: Line of sight is divided into 2 types: Parallel Projection Converging Projection  & A plane of projection is an imaginary flat plane upon which the image created by the lines of sight is projected. Orthographic Projection: When the projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of projection. The lines pf sight of the observer create a view on the screen. The screen is referred to as the Plane of Projection (POP). The lines of sight are called Projection lines or projectors. Rules of Orthographic Projection: Edges that are parallel to a plane of projection appear as lines. Edges that are incl...

Corrections Of Tape

TAPING CORRECTIONS There are two types of corrections depending upon the type of errors in tape due to the different conditions.  1. Systematic Errors : Slope Erroneous tape length Temperature Tension Sag 2. Random Errors : Slope  Alignment Marking & Plumbing Temperature Tension & Sag 1. Temperature Correction  It is necessary to apply this correction, since the length of a tape is increased as its temperature is raised, and consequently, the measured distance is too small.  It is given by the formula,                         C t  = 𝛼 (T m  – T o )L Where,   C t  = the correction for temperature, in m.      𝛼 = the coefficient of thermal expansion.    T m  = the mean temperature during measurement.          T o  = the tempe...

Components These are pure metals. Combination of components is called Alloy .  System   ↠  refers to specific body (region) of material under consideration. Solid Solution   ↠  Solute atoms occupy solvent atoms substitutional and interstitial spaces. Solubility Limit It is defined as, " Maximum concentration of solute atoms that may dissolve in solvent to form solid solution at specific temperature " . It depends on temperature. Phases It is defined as, " a homogenous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics " . Single-phase system  ↠  homogenous system . Two or more phase system  ↠  heterogenous system. Microstructure It is defined as, " a subject to direct microscopic observation using optical or electron microscopes " . Microstructure is characterized by number of phases present, their proportion and manner in which they are arranged . Microstructure of alloy depends on alloying elements, concentrations, h...
