ReplyDeleteWork input is directly proportional to heat and the constant of proportionality is called joule’s equivalent,mechanical equivalent of heat,all of the mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThe enthalpy of a system is equal to the system's internal energy plus the product of its pressure and volume.
ReplyDeleteH=U+pv
the amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.
ReplyDeleteThe zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two thermodynamic systems each are in thermal equilibrium with a third, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
ReplyDeleteThe first law, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system.
ReplyDeleteThe second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases.
Merchant circle diagram is used to analyze the forces acting in metal cutting.
ReplyDeleteWith the slope, n and intercept, c, Taylor derived the simple equation as VTn = C where, n is called, Taylor's tool life exponent. The values of both 'n' and 'c' depend mainly upon the tool-work materials and the cutting environment (cutting fluid application).
ReplyDeleteECONOMIC ORDER QUANTITY (EOQ) MODEL. The economic order quantity (EOQ) is the order quantity that minimizes total holding and ordering costs for the year.
ReplyDeleteResistance increases, in case of conductor, with increase in temperature and decreases, in case of insulator, due to increase in temperature. ... So, with increase in temperature, the resistance of conductor increases. But in case of insulator, there is a large energy gap between the two bands.
ReplyDeleteimportant reasons for grounding electrical currents is that it protects your appliances
ReplyDeleteMCB
ReplyDeleteIts basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.
Voltage-ELCB is a voltage operated circuit breaker.
ReplyDeleteThe device will function when the Current passes through the ELCB.
Voltage-ELCB contains relay Coil which it being connected to the metallic load body at one end and it is connected to ground wire at the other end.
What is Conventional Manufacturing Process?
ReplyDeleteConventional machining uses tools, such as lathes, milling machines, boring machines, drill presses, or others, with a sharp cutting tool to remove material to achieve the desired geometry. ... It is nothing but the process in which the material is removed by the direct contact between tool and workpiece.
What is kinematics?
ReplyDeleteKinematics is a branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that caused the motion.
What is dynamics of machined?
ReplyDeleteDynamics is the branch of applied mathematics (specifically classical mechanics) concerned with the study of forces and torques and their effect on motion, as opposed to kinematics, which studies the motion of objects without reference to these forces.
