BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Preface
The primary aim of any laboratory/Practical/field work is enhancement of required skills as
well as creative ability amongst students to solve real time problems by developing relevant
competencies in psychomotor domain. Keeping in view, GTU has designed competency focused
outcome-based curriculum -2021 (COGC-2021) for Diploma engineering programmes. In this more
time is allotted to practical work than theory. It shows importance of enhancement of skills amongst
students and it pays attention to utilize every second of time allotted for practical amongst Students,
Instructors and Lecturers to achieve relevant outcomes by performing rather than writing practice in
study type. It is essential for effective implementation of competency focused outcome- based Green
curriculum-2021. Every practical has been keenly designed to serve as a tool to develop & enhance
relevant industry needed competency in each and every student. These psychomotor skills are very
difficult to develop through traditional chalk and board content delivery method in the classroom.
Accordingly, this lab manual has been designed to focus on the industry defined relevant outcomes,
rather than old practice of conducting practical to prove concept and theory.
By using this lab manual, students can read procedure one day in advance to actual
performance day of practical experiment which generates interest and also, they can have idea of
judgement of magnitude prior to performance. This in turn enhances predetermined outcomes amongst
students. Each and every Experiment /Practical in this manual begins by competency, industry relevant
skills, course outcomes as well as practical outcomes which serve as a key role for doing the practical.
The students will also have a clear idea of safety and necessary precautions to be taken while
performing experiment.
This manual also provides guidelines to lecturers to facilitate student-cantered lab activities for
each practical/experiment by arranging and managing necessary resources in order that the students
follow the procedures with required safety and necessary precautions to achieve outcomes. It also
gives an idea that how students will be assessed by providing Rubrics.
This course mainly encompasses the major areas of mechanical engineering which are being
used by engineering diploma holders and are required to perform tasks such as selection of hand tools,
power tools, welding, cutting, manufacturing processes, diesel generator sets, refrigeration and air
conditioning, hydro-pneumatic devices/equipment, and material handling equipment used for various
purposes. Such skills can be developed by knowing the basic principles of mechanical engineering.
The motive of this subject is to enhance the knowledge & skill level in the interdisciplinary area.
Although we try our level best to design this lab manual, but always there are chances of improvement. We
welcome any suggestions for improvement.

Figure 1.1 Hammer and its Types

2. Screw Drivers: Used to remove or tighten the screws. These are available
in different head with various sizes. Always select a screwdriver of proper
type and size as per the job. When using a flat blade screwdriver, the blade
should completely fill the screw slot. Do not direct working forces toward
your body when using these tools, they can easily slip off the screw head
and puncture anything in its path.

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

5. Chisels: A chisel is a cutting tool with single cutting edge. Always use a
protective aids (goggles and hand gloves) when using a chisel.

Figure 1.5 Chisel

6. Hacksaws. A hacksaw is a fine-toothed saw, originally and mainly made for


cutting metal. Most hacksaws are hand saws with a C-shaped walking
frame that holds a blade under tension. On hacksaws, as with most frame
saws, the blade can be mounted with the teeth facing toward or away from
the handle, resulting in cutting action on either the push or pull stroke. In
normal use, cutting vertically downwards with work held in a bench vise,
hacksaw blades are set to be facing forwards.

Figure 1.6 Hacksaw

7. Files: Files are cutting tools used to remove/smooth rough and sharp
edges from cut metal. They are also used to file metal to shape or size. For
each type of material there is an ideal tooth form that gives the most
efficient cutting action.

Figure 1.7 Files

14 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Power Tools:
1. Hand Held Drills: Handheld Drills are comprised of the same basic parts
including,

 Trigger: For starting and stopping drilling


 Chuck: For holding the various drill bits
 Bit: Interchangeable, is used for cutting or fastening
 Direction Switch: Decides which direction the bit is spinning.

There are numerous types of drills for different activities, but the main task of
drill is to bore holes or driving fasteners (Screws, etc).

Figure 1.8 Hand Held Drill

2. Powered Saws: There are a huge amount of saws available for different
processes. Saws are used to cut pieces of work. These cuts can be intricate and
small or used for huge cuts in large projects or even chopping down trees or
cutting simple lumber for home projects.
Saws all involve a moving saw blade, whether that be in a rotary motion or a
back and forth motion, all include a sharp edged blade with teeth to slice
work.

Figure 1.9 Powered Saws

different materials, such as copper and stainless steel, to form various
angles and curves. There are four main categories of pipe benders: manual,
hydraulic, electric and mechanical.

Figure 2.4 Pipe Bending Machine

Standard Pipe Fittings:


Pipe fittings’ are those fittings that may be attached to pipes in order to:
 Change the direction of the pipe
 Connect two or more pipes of different sizes
 Connect a branch with a main water supply pipe
 Close the pipe ends.

1. Elbows: Elbows and bends provide deviations of 90° and 45° in pipe work
systems.

Figure 2.5 90° and 45°elbow

2. Tee Joints: A tee joint helps the pipe line to branch off at 90°. The branches
may be equal in diameter or there may be one reducing branch. Reducers
are fitted where a change in pipe diameter is required.

3. Cross: Cross is also known as four-way pipe fitting. A cross has one inlet
and three outlets (or vice versa).

Figure 2.7 Cross

4. Union: A device used to connect pipes. Unions are inserted in a pipe-line to


permit connections with little change to the position of the pipe. When
unions are used in pipe lines, it is easy to dismantle and repair.

Figure 2.8 Union

5. Coupling: A coupling is used to connect two pipes. Couplings have internal


threads at both ends to fit the external threads on pipes

Figure 2.9 Coupling

6. Plug: A plug is used for closing a pipeline which has an internal thread.

application
 Assemble/dismantle given power transmission setup.

F. Expected Affective domain Outcome(ADos)

 Follow safety practices.


 Maintain tools and equipment.
G. Prerequisite Theory
The power is transmitted from one shaft to the other by means of

 Belts,
 Chains
 Gears.

37 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

The belts and ropes are flexible members which are used where distance between
the two shafts is large. The chains also have flexibility but they are preferred for
intermediate distances. The gears are used when the shafts are very close with
each other. This type of drive is also called positive drive because there is no slip.
A gear is wheel provided with teeth which mesh with the teeth on another wheel,
or on to a rack, so as to give a positive transmission of motion from one
component to another. Various Types of gears are available,

 Spur Gear
 Helical Gear
 Spiral Gear
 Gear Rack
 Bevel Gear
 Worm and Worm Wheel
A gear train is a combination of gears which are used for transmitting motion from
one shaft to another. There are several types of gear trains.

 Simple Gear Train


 Compound Gear Train.
 Reverted Gear Train
 Epicyclic Gear Train

Simple Gear Train: Simple gear train is a type of gear train in which a single gear is
mounted on each shaft.
A simple gear train uses two gears, which may be of different sizes. If one of these
gears is attached to a motor or a crank then it is called the driver gear. The gear
that is turned by the driver gear is called the driven gear.
When a simple gear train has three meshed gears, the intermediate gear between
the driver and driven gear is called an idler gear. An idler gear does not affect the
gear ratio (velocity ratio) between the driver gear and the driven gear. It is mainly
used to bridge the gap between the driver and driven wheels which are a distance
apart and may also be used to get same direction of rotation of driven as that of
driver.

38 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Figure 3.1 Simple Gear Train


As shown in Fig. A. Since the gear 1 drives the gear 2, therefore gear 1 is called the
driver and the gear 2 is called the driven or follower. It may be noted that the
motion of the driven gear is opposite to the motion of driving gear.
H. Experimental set up
Teacher shall arrange the model of simple gear train. Demonstrate the working of
the gear train. Explain the function and location of every part with safety
precautions to be taken during use. The students shall be given the opportunity to
handle the Gear Train.
Students have to dismantle the given Gear Train and assemble it again.
(Note: for more understanding of gear train dismantle toy having gear, same practical can be performed with the belt and

G. Prerequisite Theory
The power is transmitted from one shaft to the other by means of

 Belts,

46 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

 Chains
 Gears.
The belts and ropes are flexible members which are used where distance between
the two shafts is large. The chains also have flexibility but they are preferred for
intermediate distances. The gears are used when the shafts are very close with
each other. This type of drive is also called positive drive because there is no slip.
In order to avoid slipping as in belt drives; steel chains are used. The chains are
made up of number of rigid links which are hinged together by pin joints in order
to provide the necessary flexibility for wrapping round the driving and driven
wheels (sprockets). These sprockets have projecting teeth of special profile and fit
into the corresponding recesses in the links of the chain. The large sprocket is
known as Gear and the smaller sprocket is known as pinion. The sprockets and the
chain are thus constrained to move together without slipping

Figure 4.1 Chain and Sprocket in Bicycle.


When the driving sprocket of cycle is rotated by pedalling, the chain wrapped on
the sprocket rotates with it. This applies mechanical force onto the driven shaft,
transmitting mechanical power to the rear wheel of cycle and will move the cycle
forward.
There’s a wide variety of different chain drive designs developed due to finding
use in many different mechanical applications. They can be classified into various
categories when classifying based on their function, chain drives can be divided
into three main types.

 Power transmission chain drive


 Conveyor chain drive
 Hoisting and hauling chain drive
Power transmission chain drive is specifically used for transmitting power between
two shafts. Common examples are bikes, agricultural machinery, compressors,

47 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

engine camshafts, etc. All these applications use chain drives for power
transmission.
As you can see in the Figure 4.2, a link of a chain comprises more than one part.
Each link consists of:

 Outer cover
 Inner attachment
 Pin
 Bush
 Roller

Figure 4.2 Parts of chain Link


H. Experimental set up

G. Prerequisite Theory
Brakes
The braking system is an important system in a vehicle, which helps in reducing
speed of the vehicle or stopping the motion of the vehicle in the desired location

55 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

by means of friction. It also helps to control the vehicle on inclined and curved
roads.
When a vehicle is moving it contains energy of motion (kinetic energy) and the
function of the braking system is to convert this kinetic energy into heat energy. It
does so through the friction at the brake linings and the brake drum, or the brake
pads and the disc.
Classification of brakes
According to method of power

 Mechanical brakes
 Hydraulic brakes
 Pneumatic brakes
According to method of application

 Foot Brakes
 Hand Brakes
According to method of operation

 Manual
 Servo
 Power Operated
According to method of braking contact

 Internal expanding brakes


 External contracting Brakes
Two basic types of Mechanical Brakes are in common use on vehicles; these are:

 Drum brake
 Disc Brake
Both types use a fixed (non-rotating) shoe or pad that rubs against a moving drum
or disc. The friction between the rubbing surfaces is increased by attaching a
special friction material to the fixed component (i.e. brake pad or shoe).
Disc Brake: These brakes consist of a metal disc and a pair of pads. The disc is
attached to the wheel hub by bolts. The caliper is connected to the axle casing or
stub axle. The caliper is cast in two parts, each part containing a piston. There is a
friction pad in between each piston and the disc. The passages are drilled in the
caliper for the fluid to enter or leave the housing. These passages are also
connected to another one for bleeding. There is a rubber sealing ring between

56 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

each cylinder and the piston. In a disc brake, the fluid from the master cylinder is
forced into a calliper where it presses against a piston. The piston in turn crushes
two brake pads against the disc that is being attached to wheel, making it to stop
or slow down.

Figure 5.1 Disc Brake


Drum Brake: In these type of brakes a brake drum is attached concentric to the
axle hub whereas on the axle casing is mounted a back plate. Two brake shoes are
anchored on the back plate. Friction linings are mounted on the brake shoes. One
or two retractor springs are used which serve to keep the brake shoes away from
the drum when brakes are not applied. The brake shoes are anchored at one end
whereas on the other ends Force F is applied by means of some brake actuating
mechanism which forces the brake shoe against the revolving drum, thereby
applying the brakes.

Clutch: In Automobiles, the clutch is used to engage or disengage the engine with
the transmission system. It enables the rotary motion of one shaft to be
transmitted to the second shaft as and when required.
Requirement of Clutch

 Torque Transmission
 Gradual Engagement
 Heat Dissipation
 Dynamic Balancing
 Vibration Damping
 Inertia
 Ease of operation
In a vehicle, clutch is necessary because the engine spins all the time, but the
vehicle's wheels do not. In order for a vehicle to stop without killing the engine,
the wheels need to be disconnected from the engine somehow. The clutch allows
us to smoothly engage a spinning engine to a non-spinning transmission by
controlling the slippage between them.
Classification of clutch
Broadly clutch can be classified into following two types:

 Positive clutch
 Friction Clutch
Friction Clutch can be further classified into:

 Plate or disc Clutch (Single/ Multi plate Clutch)


 Cone clutch
 Centrifugal clutch
Single Plate Clutch: When the clutch pedal is depressed the pressure plate is
moved to the right against the force of the springs. With this movement of
pressure plate, the friction plate is released from the flywheel and the clutch is
disengaged. The flywheel continues to rotate as long as the engine is running,
while the clutch shaft reduces slowly and finally it stops rotating. Thus torque is
not transmitted to the gear box. Now, when pedal is released, the pressure plate
moves forward because of spring force and keeps the pressure on the clutch plate.
At this moment the clutch plate is gripped in between flywheel and pressure plate
and clutch is said to be engaged. Hence torque is transmitted to the gear box.

58 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Figure 5.3 Single Plate Clutch


Multi Plate Clutch: When the clutch pedal is pressed clutch springs are
compressed and the friction plate move away from the clutch disc. Due to this the
contact between the metal plates and friction plates is disconnected and the
clutch is disengaged. When the clutch pedal is released the clutch springs expand
and forces the pressure plates on the friction plate. Due to the contact between
the metal plates and friction plates the torque is transmitted and the clutch is
engaged.

Figure 5.4 Multi Plate Clutch

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Coupling: Couplings are used to connect two shafts for torque transmission in
varied applications. It may be to connect two units such as a motor and a
generator or it may be to form a long line shaft by connecting shafts of standard
lengths say 6-8m by couplings.
Coupling may be rigid or they may provide flexibility and compensate for
misalignment. They may also reduce shock loading and vibration.
A wide variety of commercial shaft couplings are available ranging from a simple
keyed coupling to one which requires a complex design procedure using gears or
fluid drives etc.
However there are two main types of couplings:
1. Rigid couplings
 Sleeve or muff coupling
 Clamp or compression coupling
 Flange coupling
2. Flexible couplings
 Bushed pin type coupling
 Universal coupling
 Oldham coupling
Rigid couplings are used for shafts having no misalignment while the flexible
couplings can absorb some amount of misalignment in the shafts to be connected.
Flange Coupling: A flange coupling usually applies to a coupling having two
separate cast iron flanges. Each flange is mounted on the shaft end and keyed to
it. The faces are turned up at right angle to the axis of the shaft. One of the flanges
has a projected portion and the other flange has a corresponding recess.

G. Prerequisite Theory
Lathe is one of the most versatile and widely used machine tools all over the
world. It is commonly known as the mother of all other machine tool. The main
function of a lathe is to remove metal from a job to give it the required shape and
size. The job is securely and rigidly held in the chuck or in between centres on the
lathe machine and then turn it against a single point cutting tool which will
remove metal from the job in the form of chips. Fig. 5.1 shows the working

69 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

principle of lathe. An engine lathe is the most basic and simplest form of the lathe.
It derives its name from the early lathes, which obtained their power from
engines. Besides the simple turning operation as described above, lathe can be
used to carry out other operations also, such as drilling, reaming, boring, taper
turning, knurling, screw thread cutting, grinding etc.

Figure 5.1 Working Principal of Lathe Machine


Construction of Lathe Machine:
A simple lathe comprises of a bed made of grey cast iron on which headstock,
tailstock, carriage and other components of lathe are mounted. Fig. 5.2 shows the
different parts of engine lathe or central lathe. The major parts of lathe machine
are given as under:

 Bed
 Head stock
 Tailstock
 Carriage
 Feed mechanism
 Thread cutting mechanism

Figure 5.2 Parts of Lathe Machine

70 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Specification of Lathe:
The size of a lathe is generally specified by the following means:

 Swing or maximum diameter that can be rotated over the bed ways
Maximum length of the job that can be held between head stock and tail
stock centres
 Bed length, which may include head stock length also
 Maximum diameter of the bar that can pass through spindle or collect
chuck of capstan lathe.
Cutting Speed:
Cutting speed for lathe work may be defined as the rate in meters per minute at
which the surface of the job moves past the cutting tool. Machining at a correct
cutting speed is highly important for good tool life and efficient cutting. Too slow
cutting speeds reduce productivity and increase manufacturing costs whereas too
high cutting speeds result in overheating of the tool and premature failure of the
cutting edge of the tool.
Calculation of cutting speed Cs, in meters per minute Cs = ((22/7) × D × N)) /1000
Where D is diameter of job in mm. N is in RPM.
Feed:
Feed is defined as the distance that a tool advances into the work during one
revolution of the headstock spindle. It is usually given as a linear movement per
revolution of the spindle or job. Increased feed reduces cutting time. But
increased feed greatly reduces the tool life. The feed depends on factors such as
size, shape, strength and method of holding the component, the tool shape and its
setting as regards overhang, the rigidity of the machine, depth of cut, power
available, etc. rougher feeds are applied for roughing and finer feeds for finishing
cuts.
Depth of Cut:
The depth of cut (t) is the perpendicular distance measured from the machined
surface to the uncut surface of the work piec. In a lathe machine depth of cut is
shown as follows:

Where d1: diameter of work piece before machining


d2: Diameter of work piece after machining

G. Prerequisite Theory
Welding is the process of joining two pieces of metal so that bonding accompanied
by appreciable inter-atomic penetration takes place at their original boundary
surfaces.
The boundaries more or less disappear at the weld, and integrating crystals
develop across them. Welding is carried out by the use of heat or pressure or both
and with or without added metal.

Electric arc welding:


It is a group of welding processes which uses a welding power supply to create an
electric arc between an electrode and the base material to melt the metals at the
welding point. Types of electric arc welding processes
1. Shielded Metal Arc/Manual Metal Arc Welding
2. Submerged Arc Welding
3. Plasma Arc Welding
4. Electro Gas Welding
5. Atomic-hydrogen Welding
6. Underwater Welding
7. Metal Inert Gas Welding
8. Tungsten inert Gas Welding

Arc welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as Manual Metal Arc Welding
(MMAW), is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode
coated with flux to lay the weld. An electric current, in the form of either
alternating current or direct current from a welding power supply, is used to form
an electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined. As the weld is
laid, the flux coating of the electrode disintegrates, giving off vapors that serve as
a shielding gas and providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area
from atmospheric contamination.

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Welding equipment and accessories:

1. Transformer (Welding power source): It is basically a step down transformer


that reduces the voltage from the source voltage to a lower voltage that is
suitable for welding, usually between 15 and 45 volts. The secondary current is
quite high. 200 to 600 amps would be typical, but it could be much higher. The
secondary coil may have several taps for adjusting the secondary voltage to
control the welding current.

2. Electrode holder: A device used for mechanically holding the electrode and
conducting current to it.

3. Welding leads:
• Electrode lead:
The electrical conductor between the source of the arc welding current and
the electrode holder.
• Work lead:
The electrical conductor between the source of the arc welding current and
the work piece.

4. Work clamp: Connects the work lead to the work piece.

5. Cable lugs: These are very important items for connecting welding leads to the
welding power source.

6. Hand shield: A device used in arc welding to protect the face and neck. It is
equipped with a filter glass lens and is designed to be held by hand.

7. Helmet: A device used in arc welding to protect the face and neck. It is
equipped with a filter glass and is designed to be worn on the head.

8. Chipping hammer: A chipping hammer is a tool used to remove welding slag


from a weld and welding spatter from alongside weld.

9. Steel wire brush: Used to clean the work piece surfaces before welding and to
remove the slag after welding by brushing.

Weld joints
1. Butt joint: A joint between two work pieces in such a manner that the weld
joining the parts is between the surface planes of both of the pieces joined.
2. Corner joint: A joint between two members located approximately at right
angles to each other in the form of an L.
3. Edge joint: A joint between the edges of two or more parallel or nearly parallel
members.
4. Lap joint: A joint between two overlapping members.
5. Tee joint: A joint between two members located approximately at right angles
to each other in the form of a T.

G. Prerequisite Theory
Soldering
Soldering is a process used for joining metal parts to form a mechanical or
electrical bond. In this case a molten fusible metal called solder is supplied and
allowed to solidify. The melting point of solder is below 420° C. Generally, lead and
tin alloys are used as solder materials. Some of the solders are:
1. Soft solder. Lead 37% and tin 63%.
2. Medium solder. Lead 50% and tin 50%.

93 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

3. Electricians solder. Lead 58 % and tin 42 %.


4. Plumbers solder. Lead 70% tin 30%.
As one might have seen with the radio repairers that, when the current is supplied
to the solder gun, the front end of it becomes hot. This hot end when brought in
contact with solder material, it melts. This molten material is used for joining wires
in radios, tape-recorders etc. The molten metal, when cools, produces solder
joints.

Figure 8.1 Soldering Process


Types of soldering processes

1. Soft soldering
It is used in sheet metal work and it has less strength.
2. Hard soldering
It is employed when stronger joint is required.
Based on the method of heating source, the soldering processes may be,
resistance soldering, torch soldering, furnace soldering etc.

Brazing
Brazing is a process of joining two pieces of similar or dissimilar metals. In this case
as non-ferrous metal or alloy in the molten form is supplied in between the metals
to be joined and allowed to solidify. The melting point of filler material is about
425°C but which is lower than the melting point of parent metals. During brazing
no forging action is present and also the parent metal parts do not melt.
The various brazing metals and alloys are Copper, Brass, Bronze, Silver alloys,
Aluminum alloys etc.

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Types of brazing processes


Based on heating source the various brazing processes are:
1. Torch brazing
2. Furnace brazing
3. Resistance brazing etc.

Figure 8.2 Brazing Process

H. Experimental set up

1. Avoid wearing clothing that might catch, moving or rotating parts. Long sleeves
of shirts, long hair, neck tie and Jewellery are definite hazards in the shop.
2. Wear safety shoes. Do not wear canvas shoes; they give no resistance to hard
objects dropped on the feet.
3. Keep the area around the machine or work clean.
4. Keep away from revolving work.
5. Be sure that all guards are in place.
6. Wear safety goggles when working in areas, where sparks or chips of metal are

(d) Distract or interfere with any one, operating a machine.
8. Get to know who in-charge of first-aid is and where boxes are placed and
where the first aid can be found in case of emergency.

Safety Precautions while performing soldering,

1. Always wear proper protective clothing and shoes during Soldering.


2. Remember that when soldering, the rosin in the solder releases fumes. These
fumes are harmful to your eyes and lungs. Therefore, always work in a well-
ventilated area. Hot solder is also dangerous. Be sure not to let it splash
around because it will burn you almost instantly.
3. Be especially careful with the soldering iron. This reaches very high
temperatures, and can easily melt plastic and burn through your clothing.
4. Do not ever play with the soldering iron.
5. Be careful while working with liquid metal do not splatter or splash around.
Any molten solder that lands on your skin will burn you instantly.

Timber:
Timber is the name given to the wood obtained from well grown trees. The trees
are cut, sawn into various sizes to suit building purposes.
The word, ‘grain’, as applied to wood, refers to the appearance or pattern of the
wood on the cut surfaces. The grain of the wood is a fibrous structure and to make
it strong, the timber must be so cut, that the grains run parallel to the length.
Characteristics of Good Timber
The good timber must possess the following characteristics

 It should have minimum moisture content, i.e., the timber should be well
seasoned.
 The grains of wood should be straight and long.
 It must retain its straightness after seasoning.
 It should produce near metallic sound on hammering.
 It should be free from knots or cracks.
 It should be of uniform colour, throughout the part of the wood.
 It should respond well to the finishing and polishing operations.
 During driving the nails and screw, it should not split easily.
Carpentry Tools:
Carpentry tools are used to produce components to an exact size,
Some of the important carpentry tools are,
Marking and measuring tools:
Steel rule and steel tape: Steel rule is a simple measuring instrument consisting of
a long, thin metal strip with a marked scale of unit divisions. It is an important tool
for linear measurement. Steel tape is used for large measurements, such as
marking on boards and checking the overall dimensions of the work.

Figure 9.1 steel rule and steel tape

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Marking Gauge: It is a tool used to mark lines parallel to the edge of a wooden
piece. It consists of a square wooden stem with a sliding wooden stock (head) on
it. On the stem is fitted a marking pin, made of steel. The stock is set at any
desired distance from the marking point and fixed in position by a screw. It must
be ensured that the marking pin projects through the stem, about 3 mm and the
end are sharp enough to make a very fine line. A mortise gauge consists of two
pins. In this, it is possible to adjust the distance between the pins, to draw two
parallel lines on the stock.

Figure 9.2 Marking Gauge


Compass and Divider: Compass and divider, are used for marking arcs and circles
on the planed surfaces of the wood.
Holding tools
Carpentry vice: A carpentry vice is the common work holding device. It consists of
one fixed jaw and one movable jaw. It’s one jaw is fixed to the side of the table
while the other is movable by means of a screw and a handle.

C‐Clamp: It is used for holding small works.

Figure 9.4 C-Clamp


Cutting tools
Saws: A saw is used to cut wood into pieces. There is different type of saws,
designed to suit different purpose. A saw is specified by the length of its tooled
edge. The following saws are used in the carpentry section.
Rip Saw: The blade of rip saw is either straight or skew-backed. The teeth are so
set that the cutting edge of this saw makes a steeper angle about 60°.
Cross Cut saw: This is similar in shape of a rip saw. It is used to cut across the grain
of the stock. The correct angle for cross cutting is 45° .The teeth are so set that the
saw kerf is wider than the blade thickness. This allows the blade to move freely in
the cut without sticking.
Tenon or back saw: A tenon saw is used for fine and accurate work. It consists of a
very fine blade, which is reinforced with a rigid steel back. The teeth are shaped
like those of cross cut saw.
Chisels: Chisels are used for cutting and shaping wood accurately. Wood chisels
are made in various blade widths, ranging from 3 to 50mm .Most of the wood
chisels are made into tang type, having a steel shank which fits inside the handle.

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Planing Tools
Planing is the operation used to produce flat surfaces on wood. A plane is a
hand tool used for this purpose. The cutting blade used in a plane is very
similar to a chisel. The blade of a plane is fitted in a wooden or metallic block,
at an angle.
Jack Plane: It is the most commonly used general purpose plane. It is about 35
cm long. The cutting iron (blade) should have a cutting edge of slight
curvature. It is used for quick removal of material on rough work and is also
used in oblique planning.
Smoothing Plane: It is used for finishing work and hence, the blade should
have a straight cutting edge. It is about 20 to 25 cm long. Being short, it can
follow even the slight depressions in the stock, better than the jack plane. It is
used after using the jack plane.
Rebate Plane: It is used for making a rebate. A rebate is a recess along the
edge of a piece of wood, which is generally used for positioning glass in frames
and doors.
Plough Plane:It is used to cut grooves, which are used to fix panels in a door.
The following figure shows the various types of planes mentioned above.

Remember that “Accidents do not occur, they are caused”. With this in mind,
strictly follow the general safety rules given below and safe practices indicated in
brief under each section.

Safety Precautions while working in Workshop,

1. Avoid wearing clothing that might catch, moving or rotating parts. Long sleeves
of shirts, long hair, neck tie and Jewellery are definite hazards in the shop.
2. Wear safety shoes. Do not wear canvas shoes; they give no resistance to hard
objects dropped on the feet.
3. Keep the area around the machine or work clean.
4. Keep away from revolving work.
5. Be sure that all guards are in place.
6. Wear safety goggles when working in areas, where sparks or chips of metal are
flying.
7. Never
(a) Operate a machine unless you are authorized to do so.
(b) Start a machine unless you know how to stop it.
(c) Walk away and leave a machine running.
(d) Distract or interfere with any one, operating a machine.
8. Get to know who in-charge of first-aid is and where boxes are placed and
where the first aid can be found in case of emergency.

Safety Precautions while performing Carpentry operation ,

1. Make sure that your hands are not in front of sharp edged tools while you are
using them.

109 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

2. Use only sharp tools. A dull tool requires excessive pressure, causing the tool
to slip.
3. Wooden pieces with nails should never be allowed to remain on the floor.
4. While using chisels, take care that cutting is performed in the direction away
from your body

K. Procedure to be followed

1. Study the Drawing Carefully.


2. The given work piece is firmly clamped in the carpentry vice and any two
adjacent surfaces are planned to get right angles using the jack plane.
3. Using the try square, the right angles of planned faces are checked.
4. Now the other two surfaces are planned to get smooth surface.
5. The work piece is cut into two pieces by using the rip saw.
6. Using the steel rule and marking gauge, marking is done as per the drawing on
the two halves.
7. In one half, the unwanted portions of wood are removed by using the tenon
saw and firmer chisel. The same procedure is done for the other half of work
piece.
8. Using the jack plane, the other two faces of work piece is planned to the
required size.
9. The finished two pieces are assembled to getter to form the required joint.

Sheet metal used in metal work


A wide variety of metals, in the form of sheet are used in sheet metal workshop.
The most commonly used are explained below.

Galvanized Iron (G.I.) Sheet: It is a sheet of soft steel coated with zinc. GI sheet is
one of the least expensive metals used in sheet metal shop. It is used for making
pans, buckets, gutters, tanks, boxes etc. Generally GI products are very suitable for
corrosive environment because zinc coating protects the iron form corrosion.

Copper: It has reddish colour and is used for water pipes, roofing, gutters and
other parts of the building. Copper products are used where thermal resistance is
the criterion along with corrosion resistance. But copper is somewhat expensive.

Tin Plate: Tin plate is the iron or steel coated with pure tin. It has bright silvery
appearance and is used for containers, dairy equipments, furnace fittings, cans,
trays and pans.

Stainless Steel: The 18-8 type steel is used in sheet metal work from the available
different type of stainless steel. The products like food containers, dairy
equipments and kitchen wares are prepare from 18-8 steel.

Black Iron: It is an uncoated sheet of metal with bluish appearance. The black iron
sheet is used for the products, which are having no restrictions on painting after
its preparation.

Aluminium: It is an uncoated sheet of metal with bluish appearance. The black


iron sheet is used for the products, which are having no restrictions on painting
after its preparation.

Sheet Metal Tools:


Most of the hand tools and discussed earlier practical are also used in sheet metal
work. The additional tools specially used in sheet metal work are,

Snips: Snips are hand shears varying in length from 200mm to 600mm. The 250
mm length is the commonly used one.

Straight snip: It has a straight blade and is used for cutting along straight lines and
for trimming the edges. The straight snip and its usage is shown in figure below,

F. Expected Affective domain Outcome(ADos)

 Follow safety practices.


 Maintain tools and equipment.
G. Prerequisite Theory
A boiler is a closed vessel in which water is converted in to steam by burning of
fuel in presence of air at desired temperature, pressure and at desired mass flow
rate.
In case of boiler, any type of fuel burn in presence of air and form flue gases which
are at very high temperature (hot fluid). The feed water at atmospheric pressure

128 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

and temperature enters the system from other side (cold fluid). Because of
exchanges of heat between hot and cold fluid (water) temperature raises and it
form steam. The flue gases (hot fluid) temperature decreases and at lower
temperature hot fluid is thrown in to the atmosphere via stack/chimney.
Function of boiler
The steam generated is employed for the following purposes:

 Used in steam turbines to develop electrical energy.


 Used to run steam engines.
 In the textile industries, sugar mills or in chemical industries as a
cogeneration plant.
 Heating the buildings in cold weather.
 Producing hot water for hot water supply.
Classification of boiler
Boiler can be classified in number of ways,
According to boiler shell axis

 Horizontal (Example: Lancashire boiler, Locomotive boiler)


 Vertical (Example: Cochran boiler)
According to the flow medium inside the tube

 Fire Tube (Example: Lancashire, locomotive, Cochran)


 Water Tube (Example: Babcock and Wilcox boiler)
According to the boiler pressure

 High pressure boiler (>25 bar)


 Medium pressure boiler (10-25 bar)
 Low pressure boiler (3.5- 10 bar)
According to the Draft used

 Natural draft (Example: Lancashire boiler)


 Artificial draft (Example: Locomotive boiler)
According to method of water circulation

 Natural circulation (Example: Babcock and Wilcox boiler)


 Forced circulation (Example: Lamont boiler)

129 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

According to Furnace position

 Internally fired (Example: Lancashire boiler)


 Externally fired boilers (Example: Babcock and Wilcox boiler)
According to type of fuel used

 Solid
 Liquid
 Gaseous
 Electrical
 Nuclear energy fuel boilers
According to number of Tubes

 Single-tube (Example: Cornish boiler)


 Multi-tube boiler (Example: Babcock and Wilcox boiler)
Boiler Mounting
The components which are fitted on the surface of the boiler for complete safety
and control of steam generation process are known as boiler mountings.
These are the fittings, which are necessarily mounted on the boiler itself and
mandatorily required for the safe and proper operation of boiler. Some of the
important boiler mounting are,
Safety valve: A safety valve is designed to open and relieve excess pressure from
vessels or equipment and to reclose and prevent the further release of fluid after
normal conditions have been restored.

Figure 11.1 Dead Weight Safety valve.

130 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Water Level Indicator: The function of a water level indicator is to indicate the
level of water in the boiler constantly. It is also called water gauge. It helps the
operator in keeping the level constant from outside through a glass tube. In case
of need, if the level falls down, water will be pumped by the operator.

Figure 11.2 Water level indicators


Fusible Plug: Fusible plug is a small device installed in small horizontal fire tube
boilers between furnace(burner, usually natural gas fired or oil fired) and boiler
water drum for protection of boiler while lower water level in drum. Failure of
water supply in drum due to any fault results in lower level of water in drum,
resulting in accumulation of the steam in upper part of the drum and further
combustion in the furnace leads to super heating of the steam. When water level
reduces lower than predefined level, the higher temperature of the steam melts
the lead of fusible plug so water from the drum fain in to the furnace and shell of
boiler, wetting the fire tube and disrupting combustion in the furnace and thus
preventing any damage to the boiler.

Pressure Gauge: A pressure gauge is used to indicate the steam pressure of the
boiler. It is also called as steam gauge. It is usually mounted in the front top of the
steam drum. An indicating pointer P is attached to the spindle to read the pressure
on a dial gauge.

Figure 11.4 Pressure Gauge

Steam stop valve: The function of the steam stop valve is to shut off or regulate
the flow of steam from the boiler to the steam pipe or from the steam pipe to the
engine. When used for the former purpose, it is called junction valve.

Feed check valve: The function of feed valve is to allow or stop the supply of water
to the boiler. The check valve is automatic in operation and its function is stop the
back flow of water i.e. to prevent the water escaping from the boiler in case of
failure of the feed pump.

Blow off cock: The function of blow-off cock is to discharge mud and other
sediments deposited in the bottom most part of the water space in the boiler,
while boiler is in operation to drain-off boiler water. It is mounted at the lowest
part of the boiler. When it is open, water under the pressure rushes out, thus
carrying sediments and mud.

Figure 11.7 Blow off cock


Boiler Accessories
Boiler accessories are the components which are attached to the boiler (Not
mounted on it) and are essentially for working of boiler and for increasing its
efficiency.
Economiser: Economiser is a one type of heat exchange which exchanges the
some parts of the waste heat of flue gas to the feed water. It is placed between
the exit of the furnace and entry into the chimney. Generally economiser is placed
after the feed pump because in economiser water may transfer into vapour
partially, which creates a priming problem in feed pump water into the boiler
drum. If economiser is used before feed pump it limits the temperature rise of
water.

Figure 11.8 Economiser


Air Pre-Heater: The function of air pre-heater is to further utilize the heat of flue
gases after coming out of economizer to preheat the air used in furnace or oil
burner. It is a plate type or tubular type or storage heat exchanger, in which flue
gases pass through the tubes on one side of plate and air pass on other side.

Figure 11.9 Air pre Heater

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Super Heater: The function of super heater is to increase the temperature of


steam beyond its saturation temperature. It is a type of heat exchanger. Hot flue
gases coming out of burner are first directed through super heater before the
boiler.
Feed Pump: Feed pump is placed nearby the boiler and is used to feed water to
boiler working at a high pressure. The job of feed pump is not just put the water in
the boiler but as boiler is working at high pressure, discharge pressure of feed
pump must be sufficiently higher than this to push the water inside the boiler. The
feed pump used in boiler is of two types

 Reciprocating type
 Rotary type.
Both these types are positive displacement type to discharge against high
pressure.

G. Prerequisite Theory
Turbine
A Turbine is a device which converts the heat energy of steam into the kinetic
energy & then to rotational energy. The Motive Power in a steam turbine is

143 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

obtained by the rate of change in momentum of a high velocity jet of steam


impinging on a curved blade which is free to rotate.
Concept of steam turbine

Figure 12.1 Steam Turbine Concept


Steam turbines are mainly classified into two types:
Impulse Turbine: An impulse turbine has fixed nozzles that orient the steam flow
into high speed jets. These jets contain significant kinetic energy, which the rotor
blades, shaped like buckets, convert into shaft rotation as the steam jet changes
direction. Steam energy is transferred to the rotor entirely by the steam jets
striking the moving blades.

Figure 12.2 Impulse Turbine


144 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Reaction Turbine: In the reaction turbine, the rotor blades themselves are
arranged to form convergent nozzles. This type of turbine also makes use of the
reaction force produced as the steam accelerates through the nozzles formed by
the rotor. Steam is directed onto the rotor by the fixed vanes of the stator. It
leaves the stator as a jet that fills the entire circumference of the rotor. The steam
then changes direction and increases its speed relative to the speed of the blades.
Steam expands in both the stationary & moving blades. Moving blades also act as
nozzles.

Construction of IC Engine:

161 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Figure.14.1 Construction Of IC Engine.

Cylinder: The cylinder of an IC engine constitutes the basic and supporting portion
of the engine power unit. Its major function is to provide space in which the piston
can operate to draw in the fuel mixture or air (depending upon spark ignition or
compression ignition), compress it, allow it to expand and thus generate power.

Piston: The piston of an engine is the first part to begin movement and to
transmit power to the crankshaft as a result of the pressure and energy
generated by the combustion of the fuel.

Piston Rings: These are made of cast iron on account of their ability to retain
bearing qualities and elasticity indefinitely. The primary function of the piston
rings is to retain compression and at the same time reduce the cylinder wall and
piston wall contact area to a minimum, thus reducing friction losses and
excessive wear.

Connecting Rod: This is the connection between the piston and crankshaft. The
end connecting the piston is known as small end and the other end is known as big
end.

162 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Crankshaft: This is connected to the piston through the connecting rod and
converts the linear motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the flywheel.

Valves: To allow the air to enter into the cylinder or the exhaust, gases to escape
from the cylinder, valves are provided, known as inlet and exhaust valves
respectively. The valves are mounted either on the cylinder head or on the
cylinder block.

Camshaft: The valves are operated by the action of the camshaft, which has
separate cams for the inlet, and exhaust valves. The cam lifts the valve against the
pressure of the spring and as soon as it changes position the spring closes the
valve.

Flywheel: This is usually made of cast iron and its primary function is to maintain
uniform engine speed by carrying the crankshaft through the intervals when it is
not receiving power from a piston.

TWO-STROKE PETROL ENGINE:

Figure 14.2 Two Stroke Petrol Engine Working and Construction.

163 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

The two-cycle carburetor type engine makes use of an airtight crankcase for
partially compressing the air-fuel mixture. As the piston travels down, the mixture
previously drawn into the crankcase is partially compressed. As the piston nears
the bottom of the stroke, it uncovers the exhaust and intake ports. The exhaust
flows out, reducing the pressure in the cylinder. When the pressure in the
combustion chamber is lower than the pressure in the crankcase through the
port openings to the combustion chamber, the incoming mixture is deflected
upward by a baffle on the piston. As the piston moves up, it compresses the
mixture above and draws into the crankcase below a new air-fuel mixture.
FOUR STROKE PETROL ENGINES:

Figure 14.3 Four Stroke Petrol Engine Working and Construction.

Suction Stroke: During this stroke the piston moves from TDC to BDC, the inlet
valve open and proportionate fuel-air mixture is sucked in the engine cylinder.
Compression Stroke: In this stroke, the piston moves towards TDC and
compressors the enclosed fuel air mixture drawn in the engine cylinder during
suction. Both the inlet and exhaust valves remain closed during the stroke.
Expansion Stroke (power stroke): When the mixture is ignited by the spark plug
the hot gases are produced which drive or through the piston from T.D.C to B.D.C
and thus the work is obtained in this stroke. A spark plug which ignites the mixture
& combustion takes place at constant volume (2-3). Both the valves remain closed

164 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

during the start of this stroke but when the piston just reaches the B.D.C the
exhaust valve opens.
Exhaust Stroke: This is the last stroke of the cycle. Here the gases from which the
work has been collected become useless after the completion of the expansion
stroke and are made to escape through exhaust valve to the atmosphere. This
removed of gas is accomplished during this stroke. The piston moves from B.D.C to
T.D.C and the exhaust gases are driven out of the engine cylinder. This is also
called scavenging.
H. Experimental set up
Teacher shall arrange the model of two stroke / four stroke petrol engine.
Demonstrate the working of two stroke / four stroke petrol engine. Explain the
function and location of every part with safety precautions to be taken during use.

TWO-STROKE DIESEL ENGINE:

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

The cycle of the four-stroke of the piston (the suction, compression, power
and exhaust strokes) is completed only in two strokes in the case of a two-stroke
engine. The air is drawn into the crankcase due to the suction created by the
upward stroke of the piston. On the down stroke of the piston it is compressed in
the crankcase, The compression pressure is usually very low, being just sufficient
to enable the air to flow into the cylinder through the transfer port when the
piston reaches near the bottom of its down stroke.
The air thus flows into the cylinder, where the piston compresses it as it ascends,
till the piston is nearly at the top of its stroke. The compression pressure is
increased sufficiently high to raise the temperature of the air above the self-
ignition point of the fuel used. The fuel is injected into the cylinder head just
before the completion of the compression stroke and only for a short period. The
burnt gases expand during the next downward stroke of the piston. These
gases escape into the exhaust pipe to the atmosphere through the piston
uncovering the exhaust port.

Psychrometric terms:
Dry air: The pure dry air is a mixture of a number of gases such as nitrogen,
oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, argon, neon, helium etc. But the nitrogen and
oxygen have the major portion of the combination.

185 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Moist air: It is a mixture of dry air and water vapour. The amount of water vapour
present in the air depends upon the absolute pressure and temperature of the
mixture.
Saturated air: It is mixture of dry air and water vapour, when the air has diffused
the maximum amount of water vapour into it. The water vapours, usually, occur in
the form of superheated steam as an invisible gas. However, when the saturated
air is cooled, the water vapour in the air starts condensing, and the same may be
visible in the form of moist, fog or condensation on cold surfaces.
Humidity: It is the mass of water vapour present in 1 kg of dry air, and is generally
expressed in terms of gram per kg of dry air (g / kg of dry air). It is also called
specific humidity or humidity ratio.
Absolute humidity: It is the mass of water vapour present in 1 m3 of dry air, and is
generally expressed in terms of gram per cubic metre of dry air (g /m3 of dry air).
It is also expressed in terms of grains per cubic metre of dry air.
Relative humidity: It is the ratio of actual mass of water vapour in a given volume
of moist air to the mass of water vapour in the same volume of saturated air at the
same temperature and pressure. It is briefly written as RH.
Dry Bulb temperature (DBT): . It is the temperature of air recorded by a
thermometer, when it is not affected by the moisture present in the air. The dry
bulb temperature is briefly written as DBT
Wet Bulb Temperature (WBT): It is the temperature of air recorded by a
thermometer, when its bulb is surrounded by a wet cloth exposed to the air. Such
a thermometer is called wet bulb thermometer.
Wet bulb depression: Difference between dry and wet bulb temperature.
Dew point temperature: It is the temperature of air recorded by a thermometer,
when the moisture (water vapour) present in it begins to condense.
Psychrometer: There are many types of psychrometers, but the sling
psychrometer, as shown in Fig.16.1, is widely used. It consists of a dry bulb
thermometer and a wet bulb thermometer mounted side by side in a protective
case that is attached to a handle by a swivel connection so that the case can be
easily rotated. The dry bulb thermometer is directly exposed to air and measures
the actual temperature of the air. The bulb of the wet bulb thermometer is
covered; by a wick thoroughly wetted by distilled water. The temperature
measured by this wick covered bulb of a thermometer is the temperature of liquid
water in the wick and is called wet bulb temperature.

The sling psychrometer is rotated in the air for approximately one minute after
which readings from both the thermometers are taken. This process is repeated
several times to assure that the lowest possible wet bulb temperature is recorded.

Pump
Pumps are used to transfer and distribute liquids for various purposes. Pumps
convert mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. Electrical energy is generally
used to operate the various types of pumps.

194 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Classification of Pump

Positive Displacement Pumps


The term positive displacement pump is quite descriptive, because such pumps
are designed to displace a more or less fixed volume of fluid during each cycle of
operation. The flow capacity is t fixed by the design, size, and operating speed of
the pump.
The pressure (or head) that the pump develops depends upon the flow resistance
of the system in which the pump is installed and is limited only by the size of the
driving motor and the strength of the parts
Reciprocating pumps: Pumping takes place by to and fro motion of the piston or
diaphragm in the cylinder. It is often used where relatively small quantity of liquid
is to be handled and where delivery pressure is quite large.
Piston pump: A piston pump is a type of positive displacement pump where the
high-pressure seal reciprocates with the piston. The pump has a piston cylinder
arrangement. As the piston, goes away after the delivery stoke, low pressure is
created in the cylinder which opens the suction valve. On forward stoke, the fluid

195 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

filled inside the cylinder is compressed which intern opens the delivery valve for
the delivery of liquid.

Figure 17.1 Piston Type reciprocating Pump.


Dynamic Pressure Pumps
In dynamic pressure pump, during pumping action, tangential force is imparted
which accelerates the fluid normally by rotation of impeller. Some systems which
contain dynamic pump may require positive displacement pump for priming. They
are normally used for moderate to high discharge rate. The pressure differential
range for this type of pumps is in a range of low to moderate. They are popularly
used in a system where low viscosity fluids are used.
Centrifugal Pump: They use a rotating impeller to increase the pressure of a fluid.
Centrifugal pumps are commonly used to move liquids through a piping system.
The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is
accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute
chamber (casing),from where it exits into the downstream piping system.
Centrifugal pumps are used for large discharge through smaller heads. These types
of pumps are used for supply of water and handling of milk in dairy plants.

G. Prerequisite Theory
The hydraulic turbine is a mechanical device that converts the potential energy
contained in an elevated body of water (a river or reservoir) into rotational
mechanical energy.

204 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Pelton Turbine: The Pelton wheel turbine is one kind of an impulse turbine utilized
for high heads of water (greater than 300 meters). The energy available at the
turbine inlet is only kinetic. The pressure is atmospheric at the inlet and outlet of
the turbine. Pelton wheel turbine is a hydraulic turbine, and its primary application
is in the hydropower plant for producing electricity.
Water flows from the nozzle with high kinetic energy along the runner’s path.
When the water jet comes in touch with the bucket, it exerts a push on the
bucket, which is called the impulse force. The nozzle applied at the end of the
penstock is provided with a spear or needle, which is fixed at the end of a rod to
control the water quantity hitting the runner.
During this process, the momentum of the water is conveyed to the turbine. The
impulse force generated due to this momentum of water makes the turbine
rotate. The double semi ellipsoidal buckets split the water jet into two equal
amounts, which helps in balancing the wheel (runner). This guarantees a smooth
transfer of the water jet to the turbine wheel. For maximum efficiency and power,
the turbine is designed in a way that the velocity of the water jet is twice that of
the bucket.

G. Prerequisite Theory
The process of increasing the pressure of a gas (usually air), by reducing its volume
is called compression. Compressed air is widely used as a power source in industry
to power tools in

 Many types of conveyors


 Manufacturing and converting processes
 Filtration, refrigeration, and aeration processes
 Vehicle and machine doors.
A compressor is a mechanical device that is used to compress gases.
Centrifugal Compressor: It consists of an impeller. It carries a large number of
radial vanes or blades are mounted on the compressor shaft. The impeller is
shrouded by means of the casing. It surrounds the impeller in such a way that it
forms the diverging passages for the air. Air coming out of the diffuser is collected
in the compressor. Air at low velocity and atmospheric pressure enters the
compressor through eye. It flows radially outward through the impeller blades.
This air is subjected to a centrifugal force while passing through the impeller. The
pressure and velocity increases in the impeller. Diffuser blades reduced the
velocity of air to increase its pressure. It is found that, nearly half the pressure of
the air is developed in the impeller and the remaining half in the diffuser.

Figure 19.1 Centrifugal Compressor


Reciprocating Compressor: Reciprocating compressor is a positive displacement
machine with constructional details similar to an IC engines. But, Unlike an IC
engine there is no combustion of a gas to drive the piston, instead the piston is
now used to compresses the gas in a closed volume. A reciprocating Air
Compressor consists of a piston which reciprocates inside a cylinder. The piston is
connected to the crankshaft by means of a connecting rod and a crank. In this way
the rotary movement of the crankshaft is converted into the reciprocating motion
of the piston. Suction and delivery valves are provided at the top of the cylinder.

Figure 19.2 Working of single acting Reciprocating Compressor


Screw Compressor: The rotary screw air compressor has become popular source
of compressed air for industrial applications. Air enters a sealed chamber where it
is trapped between two contra-rotating rotors. As the rotors intermesh, they
reduce the volume of trapped air and deliver it compressed to the proper pressure
level. This allows the rotary screw air compressor to operate with temperatures
approximately one half that generated by a reciprocating compressor. This
enables the compressor to operate in a continuous duty.

G. Prerequisite Theory
A pneumatic system is a system that uses compressed air to transmit and control
energy. Pneumatic systems are used in controlling train doors, automatic
production lines, mechanical clamps, etc. Pneumatic control systems are widely
used in our society, especially in the industrial sectors for the driving of automatic
machines.

223 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Pneumatic Symbols
All main pneumatic components can be represented by simple pneumatic
symbols. Each symbol shows only the function of the component it represents, but
not its structure. Pneumatic symbols can be combined to form pneumatic
diagrams. A pneumatic diagram describes the relations between each pneumatic
component, that is, the design of the system.
Compressor: A compressor can compress air to the required pressures. It can
convert the mechanical energy from motors and engines into the potential energy
in compressed air.

Figure 20.1 Pneumatic symbols of compressor


Pressure regulating component: Pressure regulating components are formed by
various components, each of which has its own pneumatic symbol:

 Filter – can remove impurities from compressed air before it is fed to the
pneumatic components.
 Pressure regulator – to stabilise the pressure and regulate the operation of
pneumatic components
 Lubricator – To provide lubrication for pneumatic components.

Figure 20.2 Pneumatic Symbol of Pressure regulating components

Single acting Cylinder (SAC): A single acting cylinder has only one entrance that
allows compressed air to flow through. Therefore, it can only produce thrust in
one direction.

224 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Figure 20.3 Pneumatic Symbol of SAC


Double acting cylinder (DAC): In a double acting cylinder, air pressure is applied
alternately to the relative surface of the piston, producing a propelling force and a
retracting force.

Figure 20.4 Pneumatic Symbol of DAC


Directional control valve: Directional control valves ensure the flow of air
between air ports by opening, closing and switching their internal connections.
Their classification is determined by the number of ports, the number of switching
positions, the normal position of the valve and its method of operation.
Common types of directional control valves include 2/2, 3/2, 5/2, etc. The first
number represents the number of ports; the second number represents the
number of positions. For Example 3/2 directional control valve is represented as,

Figure 20.5 Pneumatic Symbol of 3/2 directional control valve


Figure 20.6 (a) shows intial position of 3/2 Way valve,

 Port 1 = pressure supply is closed (blue).


 Port 2 = working, in intial position connected to port 3 exhaust (red).
 Basic position or normal position drawn in green.
Figure 20.6 (b) shows the actuated position of the valve,

 Valve has been actuated (actuation elements not shown here).


 Port 1 is connected to working port 2 (blue).
 Exhaust port 3 is closed (black).
 Actuated position drawn in green.

(a) (b)
Figure 20.6 basic and actuate position of 3/2 way valve
Basic Rule of Pneumatic circuit Diagram
1. A pneumatic circuit diagram represents the circuit in static form and assumes
there is no supply of pressure. The placement of the pneumatic components on
the circuit also follows this assumption.
2. The pneumatic symbol of a directional control valve is formed by one or more
squares. The inlet and exhaust are drawn underneath the square, while the outlet
is drawn on the top. Each function of the valve (the position of the valve) shall be
represented by a square. If there are two or more functions, the squares should be
arranged horizontally.

Figure 20.7 3/2 Way Valve


3. Arrows "↓↖" are used to indicate the flow direction of air current. If the
external port is not connected to the internal parts, the symbol “┬” is used. The
symbol “⊙” underneath the square represents the air input, while the symbol
“▽” represents the exhaust.
4. The pneumatic symbols of operational components should be drawn on the
outside of the squares. They can be divided into two classes: mechanical and
manual.

226 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Figure 20.8 Mechanically operated pneumatic component

Figure 20.9 Manual operated pneumatic component


5. Pneumatic operation signal pressure lines should be drawn on one side of the
squares, while triangles are used to represent the direction of air flow.

Figure 20.10 Pneumatic operation signal pressure line


6. In a pneumatic circuit, the flow of energy is from the bottom to the top.
Therefore, the air supply unit should be put at the bottom left corner.
7.The work cycle should be drawn from left to right. The first operating cylinder
should be placed at the upper left corners
H. Experimental set up

Figure 20.11 Pneumatic circuits for SAC (Initial Position)

227 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Pneumatic cylinders can be directly actuated by actuation of final control valve,


manually or electrically in small cylinders as well as cylinders which operates at
low speeds where the flow rate requirements are less. When the directional
control valve is actuated by push button, the valve switches over to the open
position, communicating working source to the cylinder volume. This results in the
forward motion of the piston. When the push button is released, the reset spring
of the valve restores the valve to the initial position [closed]. The cylinder space is
connected to exhaust port there by piston retracts either due to spring or supply
pressure applied from the other port.

J. Safety and Necessary Precautions followed

Precautions while performing practical:

1. Compressed air can cause serious damage to the human body if they enter the
body through ducts like the oral cavity or ears.
2. Never spray compressed air onto anyone
3. Under high temperature, compressed air can pass through human skin.
4. Compressed air released from the exhaust contains particles and oil droplets,
which can cause damage to eyes.
5. Even though the pressure of compressed air in pipes and reservoirs is relatively
low, when the container loses its entirety, fierce explosions may still occur.
6. Before switching on a compressed air supply unit, one should thoroughly
inspect the whole circuit to see if there are any loose parts, abnormal pressure
or damaged pipe.
7. In case of a leakage, the compressed air supply unit should be turned off
immediately.
8. Stay clear of the moving parts of the system. Never try to move the driving
parts in the mechanical operation valve with your hand.

F. Expected Affective domain Outcome(ADos)

 Follow safety practices.


 Maintain tools and equipment.
G. Prerequisite Theory
Hydraulic circuits are used in high power and high load applications such as
earthmoving equipment. The pressure used in industrial applications is about 140
bar or 14MPa.

236 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

For more precise control, valves actuated by electrical signals are employed,
instead of manually operated valves.
Components of hydraulic Circuit

 Oil reservoir which has suction lines to pump and other lines of system
returning oil to tank.
 Electric motor
 Positive displacement Pump- like vane pump, gear pump or axial piston
pump
 A relief valve to limit the maximum pressure developed.
 Directional control valve (DC Valve) which controls direction of high
pressure oil to actuator, and to tank from actuator.
 Actuator – a hydraulic cylinder for linear motion of load (connected to
piston rod), or a hydraulic motor when load actuation is rotation.
 Filter: Oil filter is provided either in pump suction or return line.
4/3 way DC valve: A 3-position 4-port Directional Control valve is schematically
shown in Figure below.
Ports: The valve has port P connected to hydraulic pump; Port T is connected to
the tank. Two ports A & B are connected to either side of the hydraulic cylinder.
Thus there are 4 ports.

Figure 21.1 4/3 Way DC valve


Spool potions: The spool operated by a lever (for manual operation) takes 3
positions, which are shown in 3 blocks in Figure 21.1.
Flow directions in the three positions are explained as per Figure 21.2. In Position
2, the neutral position, all ports are blocked. Hence no flow from supply port to
any port, and no movement of actuator piston. Moving the spool to left end, ie
Position 1, means That left block is operative, where connections P to A and B to T
are established.

237 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

Similarly Position 3 of spool means, P - B and A -T are connected. Thus there are 4
ports and 3 valve positions. Hence the valve is called 3-position, 4- port Directional
Control Valve.

Figure 21.2 position of 4/3 DC valve

Material handling is defined as movement of material of any form like raw,
packaged, loose, solid, liquid, gas, light, or heavy from one location to another
location either in restricted or unrestricted path by manual or mechanical aids.
The movement may be horizontal, vertical or may be combination of both.

In simple language, material handling is loading, moving and unloading of


materials. Material handing is a necessary and significant component of any

246 | Page
BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

productive activity. Material handling at any level is necessary in daily household


activities, in commercial trades, in industrial processes, in production processes.

The essential requirements of a good materials handling system may be


summarized as:
(i) Efficient and safe movement of materials to the desired place.
(ii) Timely movement of the materials when needed.
(iii) Supply of materials at the desired rate.
(iv) Storing of materials utilizing minimum space.
(v) Lowest cost solution to the material handling activities.

electric or pneumatic or hydraulic motor. Cranes are used for horizontal
movement of materials.

Types of cranes:

1. Pure Hoisting Machineries


 Jack
 Winches
 Hand Hoists
 Pulley Blocks
2. Cranes

BASICS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (4300017)

An overhead crane, commonly called a bridge crane, is a type of crane found in


industrial environments. An overhead crane consists of parallel runways with a
traveling bridge spanning the gap. A hoist, the lifting component of a crane, travels
along the bridge. If the bridge is rigidly supported on two or more legs running on
a fixed rail at ground level, the crane is called a gantry crane.

Conveying equipments
This group of equipment also can have further sub classifications as:
1. Belt Conveyor
2. Hydraulic Conveyor
3. Pneumatic Conveyor
4. Apron Conveyor
5. Screw Conveyor
6. Flight Conveyor

Figure 22.5 Belt Conveyor.


A conveyor belt is the carrying medium of a belt conveyor system (often shortened
to belt conveyor). A belt conveyor system is one of many types of conveyor
systems. A belt conveyor system consists of two or more pulleys (sometimes
referred to as drums), with an endless loop of carrying medium—the conveyor
belt—that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving
the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the
drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler pulley. There are two
main industrial classes of belt conveyors; Those in general material handling such
as those moving boxes along inside a factory and bulk material handling such as
those used to transport large volumes of resources and agricultural materials, such
as grain, salt, coal, ore, sand, overburden and more.

Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty vehicles, specially designed for executing


construction tasks, most frequently ones involving earthwork operations. They are
also known as, heavy machines, heavy trucks, construction equipment,
engineering equipment, heavy vehicles, or heavy hydraulics. They usually comprise
five equipment systems: implement, traction, structure, power train, control and
information. Heavy equipment functions through the mechanical advantage of a
simple machine, the ratio between input force applied and force exerted is
multiplied. Currently most equipment use hydraulic drives as a primary source of
motion.
