Study Notes
Fluid Mechanics
- Manometer: Device used for measuring fluid pressure.
- Hydrostatic pressure: Measurement relevant for submerged surfaces.
- Buoyancy (B): Upward force on objects immersed in fluids.
- Kinematics of fluid flow: Analyzes fluid velocity and acceleration based on conservation of mass and momentum.
- Dynamics of fluid flow: Examines forces in fluid systems, emphasizing energy conservation via Bernoulli's principle.
- Viscous and turbulent flow: Distinct flow types in pipes and over surfaces, with considerations for friction losses.
- Hydraulic machines: Include turbines that convert potential energy into mechanical energy, and pumps (centrifugal and reciprocating) that convert electrical energy into potential energy.
- Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics: Include Reynolds, Froude, Weber, Mach, and Euler's Number.
Heat Transfer
- Heat transfer: Energy transmission due to temperature differences.
- Conduction: Heat transfer via direct contact in solids, liquids, and gases, governed by Fourier's law (qx = -k A dT/dx).
- Convection: Heat transfer within fluids facilitated by mixing, explained by Newton's law of cooling (q = h A (Tw - T∞)).
- Radiation: Heat transfer through space without a medium, explained by Stefan-Boltzmann's law.
Structural Analysis
- Shear force and bending moment diagrams: Essential for understanding internal forces in beams.
- Bending stress analysis: Key for evaluating stress distribution within beams.
- Deflections of beams: Analysis of deformations under loading.
- Study of thin cylinders and spheres: Focus on stress and strain in circumferential directions.
- Columns and struts: Analyze stability and load-bearing capabilities.
- Theories of failure: Different criteria to determine failure modes in materials.
Theory of Machines
- Relative motion: Study of interactions between machine components and the resulting forces.
- Linkages and mechanisms: Understand the structure and degrees of freedom within machines.
- Velocity and acceleration analysis: Crucial for performance and efficiency.
- Cams and followers: Mechanisms for converting rotational motion into linear motion.
- Gears and gear trains: Essential components for transmitting power in mechanical systems.
- Brakes and clutches: Vital for controlling motion and power transfer.
- Balancing mechanisms: Ensure stability and reduce vibrations in machinery.
Engine Operation
- Four-stroke cycle involves:
- TDC (Top Dead Center): Maximum height of the piston.
- BDC (Bottom Dead Center): Lowest position of the piston.
- Key strokes: Fuel Injection Start (FIS), Inlet Valve Open (IVO), Inlet Valve Close (IVC), Exhaust Valve Open (EVO), Exhaust Valve Close (EVC).
- Two-stroke engine operation: Air-fuel mixture drawn into the crankcase, compressed, ignited, pushing the piston downward, followed by exhaust of burnt gases.
