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.

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.

Center of Gravity and Centroid

Image
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. References: www.youtube.com www.wikipedia.com http://web.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/statics/doc/friction/Friction1.htm From Book Engineering Mechanics sta...

Flywheel

Image
Flywheel It is defined as, " a machine element which serves as reservoir which stores energy during the period when energy supply is more than the requirement and releases it when energy is less than requirement " . Used in IC, reciprocating (compressors or pumps) engines, presses, etc. Excess energy is stored in flywheel and release to crankshaft during other strokes in which no energy is developed. If space is small   ↠ use small diameter and solid flywheel . If space is not limited (like for presses, crushing machine, hammering machine)  ↠  use large diameter and hollow flywheel . Purpose of flywheel is to: reduce amplitude of speed fluctuation (sinusoidal) for constant power output. reduce maximum torque required. energy stored and release when needed during cycle. Parts of flywheel are Rim   ↠  outer portion of flywheel (which is like a wheel). Hub   ↠  center part which is installed on shaft. Arms or Needle   ↠  rods joining rim to ...

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...
