· Tube is easily shaped by bending, where Pipe
Explain why BCC, FCC and CPH lattice
needs some mechanical work to shape it.
· Tube is tight then Pipe.
· Tube is applicable to non cylindrical sections
like Square and Rectangular.
2. Is gate valve used for Throttling?
Gate valves are not suitable for throttling
because the control of flow is difficult for
the valve’s design, and the flow of fluid
slapping against a partially open gate can
cause extensive damage to the valve.
3. Why is the Suction pipe of Vapour
Compression Refrigeration system insulated?
1. It prevents the suction line from sweating
and dripping water inside the house.
2. The insulation also prevents the suction line
attracting heat from the outdoors on its way to
the condenser coil.
4. How does Welding damage Eye sight?
An Electric welding arc produces Ultraviolet
light and the UV light (Sun burn) will damage
the retina. Welding shields or Goggles with the
proper shade (Automatic shading) of lens is the
best protection for welders.
Light filtering curtains and reduced reflective
surfaces help protect both welders and
observers in the area.
5.
packing and features of grain structure affect
the Ductility and Brittleness of parent metallic
materials?
Ductility is the mechanical property of a
material. (It is the material’s ability to deform
under the tensile stress without fracture). So it
is depends on the atoms how they arranged in
a lattice and its grain size. The ability to absorb
the energy of the impact and fracture resistance
depends on the arrangement of the atoms in a
lattice and features of grain structure.
6. Why do you have Truss Bridges?
Truss bridges carry load in tension and
compression rather than bending (Self weight
+ The weight of vehicles crossing it + Wind
loads). A truss has the ability to dissipate a load
through the truss work. The beams are usually
arranged in a repeated triangular pattern, since
a triangle cannot be distorted by stress.
7. Why I-section beam is preferred for heavy
loading?
Cross sectional shape I, giving many benefits.
It is very good for giving stiffness (less
deformation on loading) and to withstand
higher bending moments (as a result of heavy
loading) on comparison with other cross-
sectional shapes of same area. Also, it is very
easy to manufacture. It will have more moment
of inertia.
8. What is difference between Center of Mass
and Center of Gravity?
