  Mechanical Power Transmission Authors: Shreyash Gurav, Parth Gurjar, Sumedh Habde, Adarsh Halake, Harsh Rikame What is the definition of mechanical power transmission? Mechanical power transmission is the use of simple machines, linkages, and mechanical power transmission elements to transfer energy from where it is generated to a place where it is used to perform work. A power and motion transmission from an input source is found in nearly all machines. This is typically an electric motor or an internal combustion engine that generates rotary driving torque through a shaft–coupling combination. Why is mechanical power transmission required? There are many ways to generate power, but it is not always possible to generate power in the form, direction, or magnitude that is required. As a result, electrical and mechanical power transmissions are critical in the design of any engineering product. This article only discusses mechanical power transmission and its components, not electr...

Applications of CFD CFD in army CFD in navy CFD in airforce Challenges of CFD in Aerospace and Defense sector Future of CFD in Aerospace and Defense sector Conclusion References What is Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) ? Computational Fluid Dynamics is a computational technique used to analyze problems involving fluid flow. Basically CFD involves the prediction of fluid flow, mass transfer and heat transfer by solving mathematical equations governing these processes. In general, we can consider CFD as a computational method which has something to do with fluid dynamics. Significant development of computer technology in the past few decades has helped in the advancement of CFD. Before CFD, experimental methods(like wind tunnels) were used to simulate and analyze the fluid flow. CFD has many advantages over other methods as it has t...

 Flow Through Pipes Authors: Shreyash Gurav, Parth Gurjar, Sumedh Habde, Adarsh Halake, Harsh Rikame What is fluid ? Fluid is defined as the substance which can continuously deform under an applied external flow. Fluids are liquid or gas and are taken into consideration as per the given condition. Fluids occupy the space, contain the finite mass and are tangible. Fluid flow inside the pipe Fluid flow is the motion of fluid caused due to various unbalanced forces. The flow of the real fluids is viscous flow. Viscous properties of the fluids are mainly characterized  by frictional forces or the shear stresses in between fluid to solid surface and fluid layers. Flow through pipe has household as well as industrial applications. Applications of fluid flow in the pipes are to transport petroleum and gas products, household water supply and to transport the chemicals.  Type of fluid flow as well as the flow parameters (displacement and loads caused by the external forces) affe...
