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.

Nano-Materials

Nano-Materials 

It is defined as, "materials having size of individual building blocks less than 100 nm".
  • Bulk gold  ↔  have no catalytic properties but Au-Nanocrystal  ↔  excellent low temperature catalyst.
Why Nano-materials?
At nanoscale strange things happen to materials and their properties may change.
  1. Reactivity  ↔  smaller particles react differently with their environment than larger particles.
  2. Size  ↔  have different optical and reflection properties.
  3. Magnetism  ↔  have different magnetic properties.

Nanomaterials Synthesis Technique

It includes design and preparation of nanomaterials with high functionality (i.e. to fabricate nanoparticles with suitable properties).
Synthesis involves the control of size, shape, structure and composition and purity of constituents.
  1. Method of synthesis
  2. Growth Kinetics

1. Method of Synthesis

Two approaches are used:

a. Top-Down Approach

  • Refers to slicing or cutting of bulk materials.
  • Biggest problem is imperfection of structure surface.
  • It involves cutting, grinding, ball milling of solid state.

b. Bottom-Up Approach

  • Refers to build-up of material from bottom, atom-by-atom, molecule-by-molecule or cluster-by-cluster.
  • Better chance to obtain nanostructures with less defects, more homogenous chemical composition.
  • Physical Vapor Disposition Technique (PVD) ↔ involves evaporation, sputtering, plasma arcing, laser ablation.

2. Growth Kinetics

Synthesis of nanoparticles is a combination of two stages: Nucleation and Growth.
  • Nucleation  ↔  in which nuclei (seeds) act as templates for crystal growth.

Properties of Nano-Particles

  1. Catalytic  ↔  Better catalytic efficiency through higher surface to volume ratio.
  2. Electrical  ↔  Increase electrical conductivity in Ceramics. Increase electrical resistance in Metals.
  3. Magnetic  ↔  Increase magnetic coercivity up to a critical grain size, super paramagnetism.
  4. Mechanical  ↔  Improve hardness and toughness in metals and alloys and ductility and super-plasticity in Ceramics.

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...

Types Of Lines And Its Uses: There are three types of types on the basis of thickness and they are: Visible Lines   ↝  It represents features that can be seen in the current view. Hidden Lines   ↝  It represents features that cannot be seen in the current view.  Center Line   ↝  It represents   symmetry, path of motion, centers of circles,, axis of asymmetrical parts. Dimension and Extension Lines   ↝  It indicates the sizes and location of features on a drawing. Placement Of Dimension Lines: Dimension should be outside the view. Dimension should be applied to one view. Dimension should be placed in a view that shows the distance in its true length. Dimension lines should be placed, in general 10 mm (1/2 in) away from the outlines from the view. Parallel lines should be placed uniformly. Values should be midway (auto centered) between the arrow heads, except when a center-line interferes. Dime...

Lubrication & Lubrication Systems

Image
Lubrication: It is defined as the admittance of oil between two surfaces having relative motion. Why do we need Lubrication? The functions of lubrication are described ahead: Reduce friction between moving parts. Reduce wear and tear of parts. Shock absorbing. To cool the surfaces in contact. Properties of Lubricants: Following are the properties of Lubricants: Viscosity   ➸  Internal resistance to flow of liquid. It is the ability of oil to resists internal deformation due to load and mechanical stresses. Viscosity Index   ➸  It represents the change in viscosity of oil with temperature. The greater the viscosity index, the smaller the change in viscosity with temperature. Flash Point Temperature   ➸  The lowest temperature at which vapor of lubricating oil will ignite when given an ignition source. Fire Point Temperature   ➸   It is the minimum temperature at which vapor of fluid will keep burning after the i...
