Difference of Wet cell and dry cell batteries

The difference between wet cell and dry cell batteries is the makeup of the Electrolyte. The electrolyte is the material that conducts electricity in the battery. Wet cells have liquid electrolytes, while dry cells have solid electrolytes, usually in the form of a paste or powder. Wet cells were invented before dry cells, and they’re still used in some applications today. Car batteries are a type of wet cell battery. Dry cell batteries are more common. The batteries that run your TV remote control, for example, are dry cell batteries.Copied from- https://www.brainpop.com/
A wet-cell battery is the original type of rechargeable battery. It is commonly found in aviation, electric utilities, energy storage and cellphone towers. The battery contains a liquid electrolyte such as sulfuric acid, a dangerous corrosive liquid that damages what it comes into contact with. A dry-cell battery does not contain liquid. Smaller dry-cell batteries, such as alkaline or lithium ion, are typically used in portable electronics, such as toys, phones and laptops. - See more at: http://www.call2recycle.org/faqs/what-is-a-wet-cell-battery-and-how-does-it-differ-from-a-dry-cell-battery/#sthash.AtK8aZ4d.dpuf

bellows sealed valve

Bellows Sealed Valve Vs. Conventional Valve
Conventionally in the  globe valve used  in steam line uses gland packing. Instead of Gland packing The Bellows Sealed valve is consisting of  a bellows cartridge welded to the valve bonnet and stem. There is only a Gasket joint in the valve body and globe site only. So there is Little possibility to leak steam. What is bellows- A device with concertinaed sides to allow it to expand and contract.  As the valve stem strokes, the bellows expands or compresses with the stroke movement. Advantages of using Bellows sealed valve- Thought the initial cost of the bellows sealed valve is high with compare to conventional globe valve but with compare to maintenance and overhead costing is less. For a maintenance Engineer to select a bellows sealed valve instead of conventional valve is a good decision and he/she will be trouble free for a long time. Many factories where steam consumption in the floor is high, there multiple number of valves is needed and in conventional valves (Gland packed seal valve/piston ring valves) maximum times after a short time interval the gland packing leaked. As  a result it looks odd, time consuming to replace valves, Production hampered , risky.

major and minor loss in pipes

Major and minor loss in pipes/duct system
Head loss of a pipe is equal to Major loss and the minor loss in the pipe. The major loss is due to friction in the pipe or duct system.  The Minor loss is due to the components in the system.
hloss = Σ hmajor_losses + Σ hminor_losses      
where
hloss = total head loss in the pipe or duct system
hmajor_losses = major loss due to friction in the pipe or duct system
hminor_losses = minor loss due to the components in the system
  • Major Head Loss - head loss or pressure loss - due to friction in pipes and ducts.
  • Minor Head Loss - head loss or pressure loss - due to components as valves, bends, tees and sudden enlargement , sudden contraction, exit of the pipe, inlet of the pipes and the like in the pipe or duct system.

Manufacturing General Maintenance issues

 Maintenance in the Manufacturing Plants. In a manufacturing plant machine maintenance is a very important things. There are several types of mainteance-
Preventive Maintenance
Corrective Maintenance 
Break down Maintenace 
Preventive Maintenance can be classified in two ways-
Schedule Preventive Maintenance - This can be found from Machine Manufacturer
Regular Preventive Maintenance-  On regular basis
Sudden Preventive Maintenance-  Time availability due to production shut down
For an effective maintenance there could be considered some most importatnt thing-
Inventory (spare stock), communication,  data, Man management, and the most is safety.
Now-a-days there are many Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) for easy operation of Maintenance which leads the inventory management as well as the machine condition and the previous maintenance information. 
Maintenance or Technical people  main objectives are to reduce Breakdown.

Difference Between A/C and Refrigerator

In a refrigerating system we produce cooling where as in every air-conditioning system we will need the use of this refrigeration system to cool the air.it is,therefore,stated that air-conditioning system is only a sub-system of refrigeration system.
Conditioning air by controlling humidity, purity, flow, temperature in a closed air or semi closed area is air conditioning. And extracting heat from an area and rejecting it to sink or surrounding for keeping desired area at a low temperature than surrounding is refrigeration.
both have same type of compressor ,but the only difference is cooling capacity is different .for refrigerator it is not necessary to cool immediately while for A/C it requires fast cooling power.

INTERNAL MEASURING INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION

INTERNAL MEASURING INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION

The measuring instruments such as Weighing Scale, Thermometer, Hygrometer etc calibration is very important in industrial areas. The local standard testing institution have the facility to calibrate these instruments. But on a large scale quantity it is expensive to calibrated the instruments from the testing institution. So there could be used the instrument which is calibrated from the testing institution as Master Copy. On every machine the allowable deviation data is given, so after calibration if found more deviation then instruments need to be repaired/Serviced. 
For calibrating weighing scale the methods can be followed:
> Take the numbers of Master/reference standard weight and observed the weight in the weighing scale
> Take  series of  data
> Record the observed  data 
> Find the deviation
For calibrating Thermometer the methods can be followed: 
> Take the  Master/reference standard Thermometer and observed the temperature in the thermometer
> Take series of  data
> Record the observed  data
> Find the deviation
For calibrating Hygrometer the methods can be followed:
> Take the  Master/reference standard Thermometer and observed the temperature in the thermometer
> Take series of  data
> Record the observed  data
> Find the Relative Humidity from the Psychometric Chart
