Internal combustion engine and its types. 10 marks important ques.

Internal combustion engine and its types An internal combustion engine is one in which the fuel is burnt within the engine. Most of the cases it is of reciprocating type. Combustion of the fuel and the conversion of the heat energy from combustion to mechanical energy takes place within the cylinders. Internal combustion engines can …

Thrust Block, Intermediate Shaft, Incinerator, Bow Thruster

Write short notes on following Thrust Block, Intermediate Shaft, Incinerator, Bow Thruster Thrust Block The main thrust block transfers forward or astern propeller thrust to the hull and limits axial movement of the shaft. Some axial clearance is essential to allow formation of an oil film in the wedge shape between the collar and the …

Draw a simple plate type cooler and explain. 6 mark important ques.

Plate type cooler Draw a simple plate type cooler and explain. Plate coolers are made up of assembly of identical plates pressed together. The plates have horizontal or Chevron corrugations. The corrugations provide stiffness to the plate thus permitting the use of thinner material in the making. Moreover, it also increases the surface area and …
