Most Common Questions of Mechanical Engineering

How a worn out shaft is built?

Worn out shaft is built up by welding followed by machining for required dimensions.


What changes in the design when there is no attemperator?
Without an attemperator, the surface area required in the furnace will be very huge. Big power plants like 500 MW and 1000 MW do not use attemperator. Material constraints also necessitate an attemperator.
 


Advantages of Lovejoy Couplings?
Lovejoy couplings made of rubber can tolerate misalignment better than other coupling like metaflex (shim type couplings)


How Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is carried out ?

Spray magnet particles on the area to be tested.
Place electromagnet and magnetize the area. If there is a crack, flux will leak through it and particles will align themselves along the crack. When seen under UV light, the crack can be detected.




CPO – Crude Palm Oil
CPKO – Crude Palm Kernel Oil

Application of Seals
Bellow Seal – High Temperature Liquid places
Unbalanced seal – high face stresses, closing force is very high
Balanced Seal – Low face stresses

Where the Flushing connection in a seal is ?
Flushing connection in a seal is always on gland plate
 
Why Olgone Technology – Lengthens reformate treater cycles & reduce overall costs.
