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. …

Pump is a mechanical device which converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. Same in case of reciprocating pump, it is used to increase the energy of flowing liquid. Pump increase the pressure energy of liquid which is then converted into potential energy when liquid is lifted from a lower level to a higher level. Reciprocating …

Dimension less numbers have important role in fluid mechanics. With the help of these numbers we can easily predict the flow behavior of fluid. When any mass is in motion inertia force always exists. These dimension less numbers are formed by considering the ratio of inertia force to any one of the force from viscous …
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 types, advantages and disadvantages, application and working of gas turbine. There are different gas turbines which used in different conditions. Gas turbine is mainly used air as the working fluid. The air is taken from atmosphere and compressed into a compressor. The compressed air is passed through combustion chamber where …

Today we will learn about fluid flow. There are many types of fluids which are used in different conditions. The flow of fluid is also as much important as its types because it decide the appropriate application of it. Types of Fluid Flow: Fluid flow may be classified according to following ways. 1. Steady and Unsteady …

Today we will learn about types of fluid. We know that a substance, which has no fixed shape and able to flow easily in known as fluid. Liquid and gases are considered in this category. There are various fluids according to their properties and behavior in same atmospheric condition. These are: Also Read : Properties …
Fluid is a substance that capable of flowing and has no definite shape but takes shape of containing vessel. Fluid flows under the action of tangential forces/shear stresses, no matter how small the tangential forces are. In case of fluids we consider rate of deformation rather than total deformation because fluid deforms continuously as long …

Today we will learn about difference between fan and blower. The fan and blower are two different kind of machines belong to the same group. Both these machines are used to flow a gas or mostly air in a large area but the main difference between fan and blower is that the fan is operate …
