Types of wind turbine
by
It is been explained in my previous article that different types of wind turbines use the wind’s kinetic energy to generate power. In fact, wind energy is known as the cleanest way to generate mechanical and/or electrical power. The obtained energy can be classified based on how the wind energy is harvested; land wind and…
Understanding wind turbine
by
In the United States today, a wind turbine is one of the common and most clean ways of generating power. This power generation takes place from a massive wind farm to small turbines powering a single home. Wind turbine around the globe produces clean electricity that is capable of serving a variety of power needs.…
Things you need to know about turbine
by
Thinking of how a working fluid is converted into useful mechanical energy and/or electrical energy, you should think of a turbine. It is known as a turbomachine that contains a moving part called a rotor assembly. The device has vast application which includes automobiles, aerospace, electrical generator, gas turbine engine, etc. Today you’ll get to…
Understanding centrifugal pump
by
In industry today, centrifugal pumps are one of the most commonly used types. It is used to transport fluid by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. This energy typically comes from an engine or electric motor. Today you’ll get to know the definition, functions, applications, components, classifications,…
Things you need to know about pump
by
Ever since the domination of technology, a device “Pump” was invented to raise, transport, or compress fluids. This invention has made life easy in our modern world as it is now used for various purposes. In this article, you’ll get to know the definition, diagram, components, applications, function, classifications, specifications, types, and how a pump…
Things you need to know about pitot tube
by
Thinking of how speed is measured in applications like aircraft is measured, the good pitot tube is the instrument designed for this task. this instrument which is known as a pitot probe consists of a tube with a short right-angled bend. The device is used to calculate velocity depending on the fluid flow. Pitot tubes…
Parts of lathe machine
by
So far, we’ve put together the major things to know about lathe machines but in brief. Today we’ll be looking in-depth at the major parts of lathe machines and their functions. If you must know, there are some basic parts learners must know and how they work. These basic parts include: Head-stock – this part…
The Three Newton’s laws of motion
by
Newton’s Laws of Motion that affect the state of motion Going broad on motion after explaining some terms about it. knowing some laws governing its principles will help to give more clarification on the motion. Sir Isaac Newton, who was an astronomer, physicist and English mathematician. He gave three laws which are proved to be…
How Force changes the State of Motion
by
What is the state of motion? State of motion is a situation where an object is on motion due to force exerted to it. The state of motion changes when force is added from another direction. This can cause the object to accelerate, decelerate and even change the direction of motion. Force and Motion work…
Relationship between Force and Motion
by
Force and Motion relationship, definition, formula and examples. Physics has exposed to us the different motion of a body. How motion occurs on objects, how an object under motion can be stopped. All these have been explained in my previous article. Well, the answer beyond all these is Force. Force and motion work hand on…
Understanding Motion
by
Having an understanding of motion we must deal with the two aspects of change in position. Distance and displacement are terms used to describe changes in position. The difference between these two is that distance is the total path length covered during a move, which can be presented only by magnitude. Whilst, displacement is the…
