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.

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.

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 met...

Advance High Strength Steel Conventional low carbon mild steel has simpler ferritic structure (α-iron) and good ductility. Common type of HSS is High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) ⇥ has yield strength  550 - 690 N/sq.mm . Manganese ⇥ supporter (stabilizer) of ferrite. Conventional HSS : Is single-phase ferritic steel with a potential for some pearlite in C-Mn steel. Lower strain hardening capacity. Advance HSS : primarily steel with a microstructure containing a phase other than ferrite, pearlite, cementite. Higher strain hardening capacity. Case Study of Automobile There are three different zones in a car: Crumple Zone (Front & Back) Middle Compartment Safety Cage Some important points about these zones are: Crumple Zone   ⇥  Made with those materials which absorb maximum amount of energy. Safety Cage   ⇥  Multiple areas (like cabins, structural elements). Areas of Safety cage are described ahead: Cabins (Blue Areas)   ⇥  Should have high streng...

Air-Standard Cycle Assumptions: The actual cycle is rather more complicated so we deduce it by considering following assumptions: The working fluid is air which continuously flow in a closed loop and act as ideal gas. All process are internally reversible . Combustion process is replaced by Heat addition process. Exhaust process is replaced by Heat rejection process. Here we are discussing 4 main cycles, namely: Otto Cycle or Constant Volume Heat Addition Cycle Diesel Cycle or Constant Pressure Heat Addition Cycle  Dual Cycle Brayton Cycle 1. Otto Cycle or Constant Volume Heat Addition Cycle: The information about the diagram is given by: 1 ➤ 2: Isentropic Compression  2 ➤ 3: Constant Volume Heat Addition  3 ➤ 4: Isentropic Expansion  4 ➤ 1: Constant Volume Heat Rejection A.
