In the last article, I have discussed how to draw the velocity vector diagram for a four bar linkage mechanism. The same example I will used here as well for explaining the steps required for drawing the acceleration vector diagram for the same mechanism. Please go through the example problem before proceeding to this …
Draw Velocity Vector Diagram of a Mechanism in Seven Simple Steps
The space diagram, velocity vector diagram and the acceleration vector diagram are the important tools for analyzing a mechanism. With the help of the following example, i will explain the steps required to draw a typical velocity vector diagram. Example: The input data for the above four bar link mechanism is as below: OA=50 mm …
Procedure of Heat Exchanger Design and Sizing Calculation Simplified with Example
The heat exchanger (HX) finds numerous applications throughout the wide spectrum of industry. Three main types of HX are: 1.Plate heat exchanger 2.Tube heat exchanger 3.Fin and tube heat exchanger Although, the detail design methodologies are different for the different types of HX but the basic steps required for sizing any HX …
How to Calculate Banking Angle of Road
What is Banking Angle? At the turning of the road you might have observed that the inner side of the road (or the side of the road which forms the inside of the turning arc) has the lower height than the other side of the road. As a result, at the turning, the surface of …
