Elasticity Of Materials

Elasticity is that property of a material by virtue of  which deformation caused by applied load disappears upon removal of the load. In other words, elasticity of a material is its power of coming back to its original position after deformation when the stress or load is removed. Elasticity is a tensile property of the material. 

Proportional Limit , It is maximum stress under which a material will maintain a perfectly uniform rate of strain to stress. Even though this value is difficult to measure, it is used in important applications such as precision instruments ,springs, etc. 

Elastic Limit , Most materials can be stressed slightly above the proportional limit without taking a permanent set., The greatest stress that a material can endure without taking up some permanent set is called elastic limit. Beyond elastic limit , therefore the material does not regain its original form and permanent set occurs.

Yield Point . At a certain stress, ductile materials particularly cease offering resistance to tensile forces, i.e., they flow and a relatively large permanent set takes place without a noticeable increase in load. This point is called yield point. Some materials exhibit a definite yield point, in which case the yield stress or yield strength is simply the stress at this point. Mild steel is an instance of this.

Proof Stress : Most ductile materials exhibit progressive yield and another measure of yield stress, usually known as proof stress.

Proof stress is defined as the amount of stress a material can withstand without taking more than a small amount of set , common measures being 0.1 or 0.2 percent of the original gauge length.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration System :

 Advantages Of  Air Refrigeration : 1. The refrigerant used namely air is cheap and easily available. 2. There is no danger of fire or toxic effects due to leakages. 3. The weight to ton of refrigeration ratio is less as compared to other systems. Disadvantages Of Air Refrigeration : 1. The quantity of  Refrigerant used per ton of refrigeration is high as compared to other systems. 2. The COP of the system is very low. Therefore running cost is high. 3. The danger of frosting at the expander valves is more as the air contains moisture content. 

SIMPLE CARBURETOR - CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE CARBURETOR :  The main Components of Simple Carburetor are : Float Chamber, float, nozzle, venturi, throttle valve, inlet valve, and metering jet . In the float chamber, a constant level of petrol is maintained by the float and a needle valve.  The float chamber is ventilated to atmosphere.  This is used to maintain atmospheric pressure inside the chamber. The float which is normally a metallic hollow cylinder rises and closes the inlet valve as the fuel level in the float chamber increases to certain level. The mixing chamber contains venturi, nozzle and throttle valve. The venturi tube is fitted with the inlet  manifold. This tube has a narrow opening called venturi. A nozzle is provided just below the centre of this venturi. The nozzle keeps the same level of petrol as that of the level in the float chamber. The mixing chamber has two butterfly valves.  One is to allow air into the mixing chamber known as choke valve. The other is to al...

ELECTRICAL COMPARATORS AND ITS WORKING

Electrical Comparators are used as a means of  detecting and amplifying small movements of a work contacting elements. An electrical comparator consists essentially of  a pick-up head or transducer for converting a displacement into a corresponding change in current and a meter or recorder connected in the circuit to indicate the electrical change, calibrated to show in terms of displacement. Generally, an amplifier is needed to provide the requisite sensitivity and to match the characteristics of different parts of  the circuit. Electrical comparators can be classified according to the electrical principle used in the pick-up head. Most of the comparators use either a differential transformer, an inductance bridge, a strain gauge or a capacitor as a means of detecting movement of the gauging element. There are different types of  electrical comparators. One kind called an electrolimit gauge is used to check or measure the outside diameter of a  roll. The objec...
