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.

Moment of Inertia

-

Moment of Inertia:

It is defined as;
The resistance to bending or change in its rotation.

It is also called 2nd Moment of Inertia.




The formula for the Moment of Inertia is given by:



Parallel-Axis Theorem For an Area:

It can be used to find the moment of inertia of an area about any axis that is parallel to an axis passing through the centroid and about which the moment of inertia is known.


From the definition of Moment of Inertia:


  • The first integral represents the MOI of an area about the centroidal axis Ix.
  • Second integral (a mathematical quantity) is zero since the X` axis passes through the centroid C itself.
  • The third integral represents the total area A.


Radius of Gyration of an Area:

(Gyration: A rapid movement in a circle or spiral).

Radius of Gyration is defined as;
Distance from a given axis upto a point where the entire area is assumed to be concentrated.
It is a quantity use for the design of columns in Structural Mechanics.


Moment of Inertia for Composite Areas:

A composite area consists of a series of connected simpler shaped Bodies. The MOI of these bodies about any axis is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of inertia of all its parts.


Product of Inertia for an Area:

Product of Inertia is used to determined the maximum and minimum values of MOI which are important for Designing structural and mechanical members such as beams, columns, shafts, etc.

Vapour and Combined Power Cycle

Rankine Cycle  Rankine cycle is an ideal cycle for Vapour Power Cycles and is normally used for Electricity Generation. The Rankine cycle consist of following steps: 1 ↝ 2 : Isentropic Compression in Pump. 2 ↝ 3 : Constant Pressure Heat Addition in Boiler. 3 ↝ 4 : IsentropicExpansion in Turbine. 4 ↝ 1 : Constant Pressure Heat Rejection in Condenser. Energy Balance: Since, all the devices which Rankine Cycle posses are steady flow devices, so the energy balance for Rankine cycle is: 》For Pump ( q = 0 ): 》For Boiler ( w = 0 ): 》For Turbine ( q = 0 ): 》For condenser ( w = 0 ): The thermal efficiency of Rankine Cycle is: How can we Increase the Efficiency of A Rankine Cycle: The efficiency of a Rankine cycle can be increased: Increasing the avg. temperate at which heat is added  Decreasing the avg. Temperature  at which heat is rejected. The above two objectives can be achieved by following three methods: 1. By

Hydrographic Survey Hydrography is the science which determines the physical features and the navigable portions of the Earth's surface adjoining coastal areas. Surveyors study bodies of water to see what the floor looks like. Techniques and Instruments used in Hydrographic Survey : Many instruments are used in hydrographic survey like multibeam sonars, LIDAR, multibeam echo sounders(MBES), global positioning system (GPS), laser scanners etc. Among these instruments some are discussed ahead which are mostly used. 1. Light Detection and Ranging: LIDAR is used to measure the elevation or the depths of water bodies by analyzing the reflection of laser light off an object or seafloor.  Bathymetric LIDAR is used to determine is used to determine the depths of water bodies by measuring the time delay between the pulse of transmission and its return signals. 2.Multibeam Sonars: Multibeam echo sounders(MBES) or sonar systems transmit sound energy which strike seafloor a

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 temperature at which the tape is standardized.       L = the measure length in m. For Foot Unit :                          C t  = 6.45×10^-6  (T m  – 68 )L For Metric Unit :                          C t  = 1.16
