Designing a plant; Reduction factors while laying cables in bunches and layers

Image
There are following procedure to be adopted for correct dimensioning of a plant (i)             Load Analysis:- First step in dimensioning of a plant is to check for connected load and their location Now check for location of power distribution panels Now we can calculate cable requirement i.e. length of cables and path of cable laying Now we will do calculations of total power consumption while taking account utilization factors and demand factors (ii)           Transformer and generator size calculations:- Transformer and generator size are usually selected 15-30% more in comparison to total connected load considering future prospectus. (iii)          Conductor size selection - Now we calculate cable size according to load requirement of various connected loads. Cable selected may be copper or aluminum. Cables sel...

Spark plug working and its construction

Spark Plug in Automobiles – Working, Functions, Types, and Parts Explained A spark plug is one of the most critical components of internal combustion (IC) engines. Whether it’s a two-wheeler, three-wheeler, four-wheeler, or even larger automobile engines, spark plugs are indispensable in gasoline-powered vehicles. They are mounted on the cylinder head and generate an electric spark to ignite the compressed air-fuel mixture , enabling combustion and engine power generation. While diesel engines rely on compression ignition, they may use glow plugs for cold starts, whereas petrol engines cannot function without spark plugs. 🔧 Functions of a Spark Plug A spark plug performs two primary functions : 1. Ignition of Air-Fuel Mixture The ignition coil or magneto provides 20 kV – 100 kV high voltage . This creates a potential difference between the central and ground electrodes. Once the voltage exceeds the dielectric strength of the gap, the air-fuel mixture gets ionized. ...

Turbocharger working principle; Turbocharger

Turbocharger is the word most widely used in automobile sector. Now days its is integral part of cars. Now days turbochargers are used mainly on diesel engines, but now-days initiatives has been taken to use turbo charging of production petrol engines. Turbochargers are most helpful while using them at high altitudes as air is less dense at high altitudes and by using turbocharger we will enable to get more power .   There are following advantages of turbochargers :- 1.    By using turbocharger engines will go faster. 2.    Engine performance can be improved Turbocharger consists of pair of fans that connect waste exhaust power from the back of an engine to force more air into the facade, providing more "energy". Earlier days there is lot of exhaust fumes coming out of vehicles which causes air pollution. This air pollution leads to lot of waste of energy. This waste energy consists of heat as well kinetic energy which get wasted in atmosphe...
