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.

Boiler Hydro Test
Boiler hydro test is used to ensure all the welding joints, pipe bents and all headers are water leak proof.
It is done at pressure of 1.5 times of design pressure.
E.g.: If design pressure of boiler is 50 bar, then the hydraulic test pressure will be 75 bar.
Pre-Checklist Hydro Test
Following are the pre-checklist for the hydro test of Boiler:
All erection work should be completed.
Confirm that no foreign material left in the boiler.
Confirm the drum manhole is closed with proper gasket.
Confirm all the drain system ready for operation.
All safety valve should be gagged.
The range of the pressure should be 2 times of the maximum test pressure but not less than test pressure.
The pressure gage should be pre-calibrated before test.
The test pump should have capacity of more than test pressure.
Minimum quantity of demineralized water should be available equivalent to the boiler capacity.
Ensure condensate and Feedwater chemistry parameters to strictly adhere to the required standard.
PH value should be in range of 8 - 9.
The water temperature should not less than 21.1 ℃.
Isolate all pressure and temperature gages except some pressure gages for hydraulic pressure measurements.
Start the boiler filling with the filling pump through the drain header (or filling time).
Close all vents sequentially after water coming from the vents.
Start the hydro test pump ensure all vents closed and rise pressure gradually to the design pressure and then the pressure to be raised up to the test pressure. E.g.: Design pressure = 200 bar, Test pressure = 300 bar).
Hold the pressure raising at 50 bar and 100 bar to check any valve passing and inspect leakage in pressure parts.
Once the pressure reached to the test pressure stop pressurizing and observe pressure drop if the pressure drop is very less then the test is successful.
If any defect is found, type of defect should be solved.
If the pressure is holding better then the pressurizes at 50 bar by opening top vents.
After this, checking team is ready is to inspect inside boiler physically.
After safety test, documents to be prepared and signed with the concerned authorities.
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...
ENGINEERING SURVEY Surveying is the science, art and technology of determine the relative positions of points above, on or beneath the Earth's surface so as to construct a map, plan or description. TYPES OF SURVEY : There are many types of survey but we discuss some of them. 1. Plane & Geodatic Survey : Ordinary field and topographical surveying in which the Curvature of Earth's surface is disregarded is called Plane Survey. It is performed when the area is smaller than 250sq.km. A survey of a large land area in which corrections are made for the Curvature of Earth's surface is called Geodatic survey. Why Geodatic Survey is important? Earth's surface is not flat, it is sphere. So all the calculations which were made by considering the Earth's surface flat are incorrect. So a new type of survey came into play which made calculations on the basis of geodatic condition of Earth's surface. 2. Topographic Survey : Topographic surv...
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...
