Ceramics

It is defined as, "when two metal react with each other to form a compound not solid solution".
  • Inorganic material (between metallic & non-metallic materials)
  • Firing or Burnt Stuff  ⇉  Desired properties of ceramics are achieved at very high temperature heat treatment process.
  • Ceramic structure  ⇉  more complex structure than metals and has at least 2 elements.
Characteristics of Ceramic Structure
  1. Exhibit combinations of ionic and covalent bond.
  2. Degree of ionic character depend on electronegativity.

Influence on Ceramic Structure

  1. Magnitude of charge on each component (crystal should be neutral).
  2. Relative sizes of cation and anions (cation radii < anion radii  i.e. rC/rA < 1).

Coordination Configuration 

It is defined as, "Maximum number of neighboring touching center atoms". 
  • Stable Ceramic structure  ⇉  form when anions surrounding a cation are in contact.
  • For a specific coordination number  ⇉  critical or min. rC/rA has a constant value.
Computation of Cation-Anion Ratio
  1. Consider Hard-Sphere model.
  2. Size of an ion depend upon coordination number.
  3. Charge on ion will influence its radius.

Types of Ceramic Structure

1. AX Type Crystal Structure

It is defined as, "materials in which there are equal number of cations and anions". Eg: NaCl (FCC), CsCl (BCC).

2. AmXp Type Ceramic Structure

It is defined as, "materials having different number of cations and anions (different charges on atoms)". Eg: CaF2 (FCC).

Defects in Ceramic Structure

  1. Frankel Defect   ⇉  Defect involve cation-vacancy or cation-interstitial pair.
  2. Schottky Defect  ⇉  Defect involve cation-anion pair vacancy.

Plastic Deformation in Ceramics

  1. Crystalline Ceramics  ⇉  Slip is difficult because of strong covalent bond. It is brittle in nature.
  2. Non-Crystalline Ceramics  ⇉  No regular structure. Material deform by viscous flow (breaking or reforming of atomic bonds).

Mechanical Properties of Ceramics

  1. A good structural material under compression.
  2. Brittle.
  3. Fracture strength  ⇉  enhanced by introducing compressive stresses at surface.
  4. Compressive strength  ⇉  10 times tensile strength.

Viscous Flow In Pipes

Reynolds Number: Reynolds Number is the ratio of Inertial forces to the Viscous forces. By knowing this number, one can describe the flow whether the flow is laminar, turbulent or transitional flow. There are three possibilities of the range of Reynolds Number: If Reynolds number < 2100 or 2300   ⟺  Laminar Flow If Reynolds number > 4000   ⟺  Turbulent Flow If 2300 < Reynolds number < 4000   ⟺  Transitional Flow In case of different shapes other than circle, the formula for Reynolds Number remain the same however diameter involves in the formula become Hydraulic Diameter which is given by: For pipe: Critical Reynolds Number  ⟾  The Reynolds number at which the flow becomes turbulent Re cr For different shapes, the hydraulic diameters are given by: Completely Filled Flow In Closed Channel: If pipe is is considered to filled completely with closed channel, then following are the conditions which...

Mechanical Injection System

Image
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...
