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.

Permanent Mold Casting:
A type of casting in which mold can be used multiple times and it is open to get the final product.
Types of Permanent Mold Castings:
There are three types of Permanent mold castings:
Basic Permanent Mold Casting (or Gravity Die Casting)
Die Casting
Centrifugal Casting
1. Gravity Die Casting:
A type of casting process in which molten metal flow under action of gravity.
Steps involved are:
Mold cavities are machined and hinged to permit accurate opening and closing.
Two cavities are forced by hydraulic cylinder to close it.
Molten metal is then poured.
Cavities are open by hydraulic cylinder.
If you want complex structure then add core.
The die life depends on the melting temperature, the higher the melting point, the shorter the mold life.
If sand cores are used instead of metal cores then called Semi-permanent mold casting.
Variation of Basic Permanent Mold Casting:
Variation of gravity die casting are as follows:
A. Slush Casting:
A type of casting process which is used to produce hollow casting.
Steps are as follows:
Cavities are closed by means of hydraulics.
Pouring metal is then poured and allowed to cool.
Mold is inverted and remaining liquid is poured out.
B. Low Pressure Casting:
A type of gravity die casting in which molten metal flow into mold due to pressure difference.
Steps are described as follows:
Mold is placed in an airtight chamber that contains a crucible of molten metal.
Pressure is applied in airtight chamber of about 3-15psi.
This pressure forces the molten metal to flow from ladle to mold.
C. Vaccum Permanent Mold Casting:
A type of basic permanent mold casting in which molten metal flow into mold due to pressure difference.
Steps are as follows:
Vaccum is generated into mold cavity by drawing air out from it.
Molten metal flow from high pressure to low pressure.
Benefits rerained like bottom feed, minimal metal disturbance during pouring, self rising and downward directional solidification.
2. Die Casting (or Pressure Die Casting):
A type of Permanent mold casting in which molten metal is injected into mold cavity under high pressure and is maintained during solidification.
There are two types of die casting which are discuss ahead:
A. Hot Chamber Die Casting:
A type of die casting in which metal is melted in a container attached to machine and plunger is used to inject the liquid metal under high pressure into the cavity.
Steps of Hot Chamber Die Casting are as follows:
Die is closed and plunger is used to inject molten metal into the cavity.
Plunger forces the molten metal to flow through gooseneck, runner and gates into the die maintaining pressure of about 7-35MPa during cooling and solidification.
Puller is withdrawn, die is opened and we get solidified part.
B. Cold Chamber Die Casting:
A type of doe casting in which metal is melted into a separate furnace and is transported through ladle into the die casting machine.
Steps involved are as follows:
Due is closed and ram is used to inject molten metal into the cavity.
Ram forces the metal to flow into cavity maintaining pressure of about 14-140MPa durine solidification.
Ram is withdrawn, die is opened and we get the final product.
3. Centrifugal Casting:
A type of casting processes in which mold is rotated at high speed so Centrifugal force distributes molten metal to outer region of die cavity.
There are 3 types of centrifugal casting which are discuss below:
A. True Centrifugal Casting:
A type of centrifugal casting in which mold is rotated to produce tubular parts.
Mold is rotated at high speed about 300-3000rpm.
Only simple and hollow parts are produced.
Core, Riser and gating system are not required.
B. Semi Centrifugal Casting:
A type of centrifugal casting in which Centrifugal force is used to produce solid parts rather than tubular parts.
Density of metal in final casting is greater at outer regions than center of rotation.
Rorational speed is lower than that of TCC.
Complex shape can be produce.
C. Centrifuge Centrifugal Casting:
Mold is designed with part cavities that are located away from axis of roration so that molten metal is poured into mold is distributed to these cavities.
Low rorational speed is required.
Only for small parts.

Solid Mechanics OR Mechanics of Materials OR Strength of Materials: It is the study of mechanics of body i.e. forces and their effects on deformable solids under different loading conditions. Deformable Body Mechanics: It is the study of non-rigid solid structures which deform under load. Deformation/Distortion ⇾ change of shape and size OR have some relative displacement or rotation of particles. It happens when we apply combined load. Rigid Body Motion ⇾ Translation or rotation of particles but having constant distance between particles. Since deformation occur at particular load. Below this load, every body is considered as rigid body . Types of Load: Point Load ⇾ Load apply on a single point i.e. concentrated load. Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) ⇾ Load remains uniform throughout an area of element like beam. Varying Distributed Load (VDL) ⇾ Load varies with length with constant rate. Moment ⇾ It measures the tend...
Flexible Mechanical Elements Flexible mechanical elements are defined as, " I nelastic elements to transmit power over large distances " . Purpose of using FME's is to simplify the design of a machine and reduce the cost . Used as replacement for gears, shafts, bearings, other rigid power-transmission devices. It can absorb shock loads and vibrations. Positive Drive ⇛ no slip between driver and driven component. Element Life ⇛ no infinite life and should be replaced at the first sign of deterioration (check wear, aging, loss of electricity). Performance of Different Transmission Types Belts or Belt Drives Belts are used where center distance between shafts is large. Pulley axes must be separated by a certain minimum distance (depend upon belt type and size) to operate properly. Because of belt flexibility and damping capability ⇛ reduce the transmission of unwanted shock and vibration between shafts. Power and torque capacities are limi...
Mechanical Injection System: Used to inject fuel into the combustion chamber. Fuel speed > air speed at delivery point to atomize fuel. Amount of fuel delivered into the air stream going into the engine is controlled by pump which forces the fuel under pressure. A device used to initiate and control the combustion process is called Mechanical Injection System. Functional Requirements of Injection System: Metering of Fuel: Used to control fuel to meet speed and load requirements of the engine. Injection Timing: Have proper injection timing to obtain max. power, fuel economy and proper burning. It is done by Camshaft or Push rod (Rocker Arm) Mechanism . Proper Control of Injection Rate: To get desired heat release pattern during combustion. Proper Atomization of Fuel: Proper making of droplets to make best Air/Fuel mixture. Proper Spray Pattern: Distribution of droplets to ensure rapid mixing of fuel & air. Uniform Distribut...
