What is Draft Tube ? Describe its Functions and Classifications
In hydraulic turbines, the component draft tube is very significant. In impulse turbines, the flow energy of the fluid is converted to kinetic energy by means of the nozzle. In Reaction Turbines, part of the flow energy is converted to K.E but remaining energy is still the pressure energy. Draft tubes are used in Reaction […]

What’s the difference between the brake and the clutch?
Brake and clutch are the two different components used in automotive . These two elements serve two different purposes. Though their functions are entirely different, both are needed for the smooth running of a automotive vehicle . What is Brake ? Simple Principle of Braking System Brakes are generally used to halt the rotating wheels […]

What is The Physical Significance of Grashof Number ?
Grashof Number is a non-dimensional number used both in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. This number is frequently used in cases where natural convection is involved. It is named after a German engineer Franz Grashof. There are many dimensionless groups or numbers available which come into play according to the respective dominant forces associated with […]
