Introduction to Automobile

What is Automobile?










Automobile is a self propelled vehicle that travels on land. Automobile transporters goods and people From one location to another.

Classification of Automobile
1)W.r.t  fuel used 
  Petrol vehicle
  Diesel Vehicle
  CNG Vehicle
  LPG vehicle
   Solar vehicle
2) with respect to wheel and axle
   Two wheeler
   Three wheeler
   Four wheeler
   Six wheeler
   Multi wheeler
3) w.r.t drive
   I) according to sitting position of driver
     a) right hand drive- indian vehicle
     b) left hand drive -  American vehicle
  II) according to driving axle
    a) front wheel drive
    b) rear wheel drive
    c) All wheel drive
4) w.r.t suspension
  a) conventional suspension-Leaf spring
  b) independent suspension- coil spring,   torsion bar, pneumatic.

Layout of Automobile vehicle


Functions of automobile components
1) Radiator
The radiator transfer the heat from the fluid inside to the air outside, thereby cooling the fluid, which in turn cool the engine.

2) Engine
 The function of engine is to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy.
Engine may be s.i or c.i 

3) Gear box 
I)It's It's functions is to vary the torque and speed according to drivers need.
II)Be shifted into reverse so vehicle can move backward
Be shifted into neutral so engine can start 

4) universal joint
The purpose of universal joint is to transfer torque from one plane to another, retaining whatever rotational energy applied to the shaft.

5) sliding joint
Slip joint permit effective length of propeller shaft depending upon road conditions.
If there is no slip joint the propeller shaft will brake.

6) propeller shaft
It transmit the power from gearbox to rear axles with the help of universal joint.

7) Differential
The differential is the arrangement of shafts and gear which transfer power to rear wheel from engine.
 During turning of vehicles outer wheel rotate fast then inner wheel it is possible due to differential.

8) leaf spring absorbed the vehicle vibration shock and load by means of spring deflection.

Chassis and it's Classification

 Definition of chassis-
 Chassis is the main support structure of the vehicle which is also known as frame 
I) functions of chassis to support load of the body engine clutch gear box etc.
II) to withstand the forces caused due to the sudden braking  and acceleration of the vehicle

Classification of chassis
1)Conventional chassis
The engine is mounted in front of the driver cabin

2) semi forward chassis
 The engine is mounted half in driver cabin and remaining half out of driver cabin.

3) fullforward chassis
The engine is mounted completely inside the driver cabin

Nuclear Power plant project Report

  General Layout of Nuclear Power Plant- The Main components of a NUCLEAR POWER PLANT are :- Nuclear Reactor Heat Exchanger ( Steam Generator ) Steam Turbine Generator Steam Condenser Cooling Tower Coolent Pump Basic components of Nuclear power plant are :- Nuclear Reactor :- It is the heart of the nuclear power plant. In nuclear reactor, nuclear fission of radioactive material takes place. This generates large amount of heat energy. This heat is taken by the coolent circulating through the reactor core. After absorbing the heat, the coolent becomes hot. Heat Exchanger ( Steam Generator ) :- The hot coolent coming from nuclear reactor flows through tubes of heat exchanger. In heat exchanger, hot coolent gives up heat to feed water so that it can be converted into steam. After giving up heat, the coolent is again pumped back to nuclear reactor. Steam Turbine :- Steam produced in heat exchanger is expanded in steam turbine to produce mechanical energy. Generator :- Output shaft ...

STUDY OF DRUM BRAKE

What is drum brake? A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press outward against a rotating cylinder-shaped part called a brake drum. The term drum brake usually means a brake in which shoes press on the inner surface of the drum. When shoes press on the outside of the drum, it is usually called a clasp brake. Where the drum is pinched between two shoes, similar to a conventional disc brake, it is sometimes called a pinch drum brake, though such brakes are relatively rare. A related type called a band brake uses a flexible belt or "band" wrapping around the outside of a drum. Components:- 1. Backing plate 2. Brake drum 3. Wheel cylinder 4. Brake shoes. Backing plate The backing plate provides a base for the other components. The back plate also increases the rigidity of whole set-up, supports the housing, and protects it from foreign materials like dust and other road debris. It absorbs the torque from the braking action, and that is ...

Mostly Asked Questions in interview about vernier caliper

Every Engineer should know this thing about vernier  Today I will share a interview experience in which I face the question and answer related to vernier caliper. First of all it is necessary to know who invent the vernier caliper so pierre vernier invented. Then they will asked you  1)What is least count ? 2)What is range and resolution of Vernier caliper? 3) what is calibration of vernier caliper? 4) if error occurs in vernier caliper then how to correct it or Recalibrate it? This was the question which is asked in interview which is explained in detail in below video. Go to my YouTube channel and watched this video I hope your all doubt will be clear after watching this video. Subscribe our YouTube channel below link and clear more doubt https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO7dCM3Lv8XFAbXkquqZt8Q
