equipment is low cost and can be used manually or mechanized There are several fuel gas and nozzle design options that can significantly enhance performance in terms of cut quality and cutting speed. Process fundamentals The cutting process is illustrated in Fig. 1. Basically‚ a mixture of oxygen and the fuel gas is used to preheat the metal to its ’ignition’ temperature which‚ for steel‚ is 700°C - 900°C (bright red heat) but well below its melting point. A jet of pure oxygen is then directed into

Description of the Operation of a Turbofan Engine Agiapal Sandhu Engl 100 November 12‚ 2014 Introduction A turbofan engine is found on all commercial airliners around the globe. The turbofan engine works by way of a thermodynamic cycle where air is taken into the engine‚ then compressed‚ combusted‚ expanded‚ and finally exhausted out of the engine. This creates thrust in the engine and causes the vehicle to propel forward

Chapter Summary Society is organized "to get its job done". It does so through formal organizations and bureaucracies. The same system that can be frustrating and impersonal is also the one on which we rely for our personal welfare and to fulfill our daily needs. The society of today‚ however is not the society of yesterday‚ nor will it be the society of tomorrow. The rationalization of society refers to a transformation in people’s thinking and behavior over the past 150 years‚ shifting the focus

Breakdown of the asset. While gas ovens can differ from model to model‚ they operate on similar principles. First lets explain how a typical gas oven operates and which problems may occur. A gas oven ignition system consists of three basic components; the oven controls‚ the igniter and the oven safety valve. In newer models the igniter will be a glow igniter‚ or in ovens that are a few years old‚ an electrical igniter. Old ovens may work with a pilot light igniter. In this breakdown we will

DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF ENGINE VALVE (PROFILE RADIUS AND DISH PARAMETER) Objective: The main object of this project is to reduce the material from profile radius and dish parameter. This project mainly concentrates on design and analysis of stress‚ buckling analysis‚ fatigue analysis‚ heat treatment condition on wear resistance and comparing the results with the current valve results. Introduction: In order to save material several design principles are explained. These are derived from

Material used in engine block casting In order to meet the above functional requirements the material used for manufacturing the product should contain many properties. They are‚ the material should contain high strength‚ modulus of elasticity‚ wear resistance‚ ability to withstand vibrations‚ and corrosion resistance. High strength is mostly concerned in diesel engines because of their high compression ratios compared with petrol engines. In diesel engine its compression ratios are normally 17:1
