HEAT ENGINE

-

heat engine is use the converts chemical energy of (FUEL) into mechanical  energy so obtained may be used to drive an alternator to produce electricity or it may be used to drive an automobile or it may be used for any other useful purpose the chemical energy of fuel is derive from combustion of fuel heat engine are broadly classified internal combustion engine (I.C. ENGINE) ,external combustion engine (E.C ENGINE)

1.  INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (I.C ENGINE)

the heat engine in which the combustion of fuel (LIQUID & GAS ) takes place inside burn inside the engine cylinder is known as internal combustion engine for ex. petrol engine diesel engine etc called I.C engine

2.  EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (E.C ENGINE)



the heat engine in which the combustion of fuel takes place outside the engine cylinder is known as external combustion engine for ex. steam engine steam turbines gas turbines etc called e.c engine

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)

-
  Introduction In the modern era of industrial automation, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) play a crucial role in ensuring smooth and efficient operations. These robust and versatile devices are widely used in manufacturing, assembly lines, and various automated processes. But what exactly is a PLC, and why is it so important? What is a PLC? PLC stands for Programmable Logic Controller. It is a digital computer that manages the electromechanical processes of an industrial environment. PLCs are used in automation and form part of a larger SCADA system. They can be programmed according to the operational requirement of the process. PLCs use a microprocessor to control equipment through a program that can be changed by the user. The program is often created using a ladder chart system and programming tools such as CX-Programmer. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is an industrial digital computer designed to control various electromechanical processes. Unlike traditional co...

Semiconductors

  Basic Definition and Properties Semiconductors are materials that have electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like glass). This property makes them incredibly useful in electronic devices. The ability to control their electrical properties through doping (adding impurities) is what makes them so versatile. Types of Semiconductors Intrinsic Semiconductors : Pure forms of semiconductor materials without any significant impurities. Silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) are classic examples. Extrinsic Semiconductors : These are doped with impurities to modify their electrical properties. They are classified into: N-type Semiconductors : Doped with elements that have more valence electrons than the semiconductor material, providing extra electrons (negative charge carriers). P-type Semiconductors : Doped with elements that have fewer valence electrons, creating "holes" (positive charge carriers). Semiconductor Materials Silicon (Si) : The ...

nuclear power plant

-
 A nuclear power plant is a facility that generates electricity by using nuclear reactions, typically nuclear fission. The plant consists of a nuclear reactor , where uranium or plutonium atoms are split to release a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators that produce electricity. Main Components of a Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear Reactor – Contains the fuel (usually uranium-235 or plutonium-239) and controls the nuclear chain reaction. Control Rods – Absorb excess neutrons to regulate the reaction and prevent overheating. Coolant System – Transfers heat away from the reactor (typically water or liquid sodium). Steam Generator – Converts heat into steam. Turbine & Generator – Steam drives turbines connected to an electricity generator. Condenser – Cools the steam back into water for reuse. Containment Structure – A reinforced concrete and steel structure that preve...
