Hydraulic brake is a type of braking system which is widely used in the automobiles with the application of the hydraulic fluid. The working principle of hydraulic braking system is purely based upon Pascal’s law, which states that the intensity of pressure exerted inside a closed system by the liquid is always equal in all …
Hydraulic accumulator is a mechanical device used in hydraulic applications. It works as an intermediate device between supply lines of hydraulic fluid from pump to required machines like hydraulic lift, hydraulic press, hydraulic cranes etc. It temporarily stores the pressurized hydraulic fluid when operating machine is at ideal condition. Some hydraulic machines require high pressure …
The hydraulic intensifier is a mechanical device which is used to increase the intensity of pressure of the fluid. It utilizes the energy of large quantity of liquid at low pressure. Some hydraulic machines require high pressure for working but this high pressure can’t be obtained by using pump. Some of these hydraulic machines are …
As we all know about the turbine. They have vast application and can be classified in different ways. According to water flowing through the turbine runners, turbines are classified in two categories i.e. impulse turbines and reaction turbines. Pelton wheel turbine is the type of impulse turbine but here we talk about only reaction turbine. …

Centrifugal Compressor is a machine in which a particular gas or vapor is compressed by a radial acceleration by an impeller with the help of a surrounding case. It can then be arranged multistage for greater proportions of compression. The compression is largely influenced by a centrifugal pump. In this article we will cover each …
A centrifugal pump is the simplest machine which is used in various industries as well as in many daily applications to transfer fluid from lower head to higher head. In 1475, Italian engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini designated mud lifting machine as a centrifugal pump. But actual centrifugal pumps were not discovered until 17th century. …
Today we will learn about hydraulic turbine and its types, working, advantages and disadvantages and. Hydraulic turbine which are generally known as water turbine used to convert hydraulic energy or we can say that energy of water (kinetic and pressure energy of water) into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is further used to drive a …

Today we will learn about difference between pump and compressor. Pump and compressor both are hydraulic machines used to increase the energy of fluid. Both of these devices used in industries and for domestic work. Pump is a device which is used to move the fluid (water, liquid and gases) and increase its elevation. It …
Today we will discuss about difference between centrifugal pump and reciprocating pump. Both centrifugal and reciprocating pumps are most common type of pumps used to move fluid and increase its pressure. Centrifugal pump which is also known as rotary pump used kinetic energy of impeller to force the fluid and increase its kinetic energy. This …

Today we will learn about what is turbine and types of turbines used in mechanical industries. We have heard many time the word “turbine”, but most of us don’t know more about It. Turbine is a device which convert kinetic energy of fluid into mechanical energy. The fluid may be either water or gas or …
