 Technologic: Bessemer process (Machines produced) The Bessemer process was patented by Sir Henry Bessemer in 1855. This patent was for the decarbonization process, utilizing a blast of air. (About.com, 2015) This process was the first cheap industrial mass production procedure for making steel from pig iron and is used to remove the impurities from the iron by oxidation. The process was made in a Bessemer converter which was a large ovoid steel container lined with clay…

CHAPTER 2. OIL LUBRICATED VS OIL FREE AIR COMPRESSOR Oil Free compressors are less expensive, lighter in weight, produce as much air flow (CFM) & pressure (psi) as many oil lubricated models. , they are loud & much less durable than an oil lobed cast iron pump. But they can be a fine choice for the very occasional DIY or proprietor. Cast iron, oil lubricated air compressors are more expensive & heavier but are much quieter & last several times longer. So if you are a…

Heat Recovery Steam Generator is a part of a power plant, which generates steam. The heat recovery steam generator used a gas turbine to operate, by using the flue (gas) from the exhaust of the gas turbine Figure 1. The heat exchanges process occurs between the boiler and exhaust gas, which is used to heat water in a boiler to raise the pressure of the steam. [1] In addition, the gas turbine is used for power source due to it has some advantages such as can be started quickly, can be easily…

1. Introduction Walking is the oldest form of urban transport, and until the advent of major transformations in transport technology in the nineteenth century, most cities were structured in ways that supported walkability (Newman and Kenworthy 1999). As individual private car transport became widespread during the twentieth century, public transport and urban walkability became less apparent as major priorities of transport planning and urban design. As concern for future urban sustainability…

Car radiator is an integral part of the engine. The primary function of a radiator is to keep the engine cool. If you are facing radiator issues in your car, there is nothing new about it. As radiator problem is a common phenomenon associated with cooling system malfunctioning. However, you should not get complacent due to the nature of the problem. In fact, if the issue is not taken care of immediately, then it will affect the engines & in the long run the performance of the car gets degraded.…

(SVO) are a promising alternative to diesel oil (DO) for diesel engines, due to having comparable properties to mineral diesel, being easy to produce compared to counterparts and offering smaller emissions footprints. Therefore, the experimental study aims to evaluate the potential and influence of Jatropha oil (JO) as diesel engine fuel. Endurance long term operation tests of 300 hours for JO and 100 hours for DO were conducted on a small single cylinder 6.5 kW diesel engine generator to…

Ode to My Toyota is a poem written and constructed by Kelle Groom that is able to relate to anyone that has sold one of their fairly old cars, and either has end up missing their old car and or knowing that their ex-car are in good hands (by the end). This particular poem is based on her 1974 Toyota that she is willing; does sell. In the poem Groom talks about the car’s appearance of how it’s practically crawling with insects, dirty beyond compare, and how it’s also falling apart from the inside…

Not every innovative idea is capable of surviving the initial stages of inception. In order to ensure success, innovators must scrutinize concepts for their benefit, not only to the organization, but also to the consumer. From conception to planning, and production to marketing, ideas must stand up to multiple tests and criteria. One such way of measuring the merit of an idea is by using the NOMMAR method, which evaluates customer need, technological options, potential market, business model,…

The Duke Axial Engine is a light weight, internal combustion, valve less engine. Suitable for Marine vehicles either inboard or outboard, Light Aircrafts, and or Generator/Utility and Military. The concept of this engine is fairly new. It began in New Zeeland’s Duke Engine’s, and is already on its way to being a more efficient engine. The information provided throughout will help gain a better concept of the engine and how it will be an asset to the automotive industry. The engine is a four…

To identify the preferred rotation direction, a blower performance analysis is needed. A blower is usually an enclosed multiblade rotor that compresses air to a higher discharge pressure. Blower is also known as fan, but, traditionally, blowers do not discharge air at low pressure as some fans do. Figure 1.6 – CENTRIFUGAL BLOWER Dryers use centrifugal blower, where air is radially discharged from the impeller, (or fan wheel), so turns 90° from its inlet to its outlet (Figure 1.6). Air…
