Introduction: The Fascination with the Extreme Cold The discipline of cryogenics explores temperatures that are far lower than those that occur in the natural world. It’s a science that puts together science and wonder that explores the mysterious and often invisible world of the super-cold. But what exactly is cryogenics, and why is it so … Read more
Read this post and take the quiz related to laws of thermodynamics to check your knowledge about the same.
Why should we study the ideal Carnot cycle if it is not practically possible? This is an obvious question in every mechanical engineer’s mind while studying thermodynamics or refrigeration and air conditioning topics. But Why? Here is the answer: We as human beings make machines to ease our work by utilizing the concepts of nature. … Read more
The world advances very fast with the help of the latest technologies including refrigeration process. These technologies often require low temperatures to remove the heat generated during fast computing. Cryogenics and refrigeration both deal with low temperatures and their applications for various human/non-human needs. Read the following article to get the answer: how is cryogenic … Read more
Normally any interviewer tries to check whether a candidate is suitable for the present job or not with respect to attitude towards the work and knowledge about the field by asking suitable interview questions. Based on the type of job or job profile, the interview asks basic questions from different subjects. If the student has … Read more
Thermodynamics is a way to learn the behavior of nature. Heat transfer is one of the characteristics of nature in which heat flows from one object to another object because of temperature differences. Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer both are part of thermal engineering and each one has its own meaning and importance. Both deal with … Read more
Introduction to the Thermal Power Plant The electrical power generation plants that use the thermal energy of fuel are known as thermal power plants. The key components of thermal power plants are a boiler, turbine, feed water pump, and condenser with a cooling tower. Any machine or device is judged based on its efficiency (how … Read more
What is the need for a high compression ratio? Today every machine is expected to give higher efficiency. When we talk about the petrol engine and diesel engine whose thermal efficiency is directly related to the ‘compression ratio’. That means if we want to achieve higher thermal performance in terms of efficiency, we should provide … Read more
