INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind‚ also called wind energy‚ into mechanical energy in a process known as wind power. If the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity‚ the device may be called a wind turbine or wind power plant. If the mechanical energy is used to drive machinery‚ such as for grinding grain or pumping water‚ the device is called a windmill or wind pump. Similarly‚ it may be referred to as a wind

PrFan Blades Rolls Royce is unique for its patented manufacturing process of its hollow wide-chord titanium fan blades. To make these fan blades light and strong the fan blades are made from titanium 6-4 alloy with a hollow internal “Warren–Girder” structure. This is done using 2 processes namely Superplastic forming and Diffusion bonding. The manufacture process starts with 3 sheets of forged titanium. A material called stop-off is printed onto 2 of the sheets which will stop them from joining

A jet engine‚ like a rocket engine‚ is a reaction engine. It works by throwing mass in one direction and taking advantage of the reaction in the opposite direction. In the case of a jet engine‚ the engine burns fuel (like kerosene) with air from the atmosphere. The burning fuel heats and expands the air‚ and this hot air shoots out of the exhaust-end of the engine to create thrust. Most modern jet engines use a turbine to improve the efficiency of the engine and allow the engine to work at low speeds

Other functions of law include: peacekeeping; checking government power and promoting personal freedom; facilitating planning and the realization of reasonable expectations; promoting economic growth through free competition; promoting social justice; and protecting the environment (Mallor‚ Barnes‚ Bowers‚ and Langvardt). It is important to note that without laws to govern the actions of people and businesses‚ society would not be able to function effectively‚ and commerce would

Gas Compressor Brief Introduction A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume. Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are compressible‚ the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible‚ so the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids. Types of Compressors Centrifugal compressors Centrifugal

Internal Combustion Engines Introduction Internal Combustion Engine‚ a heat engine in which the fuel is burned ( that is‚ united with oxygen ) within the confining space of the engine itself. This burning process releases large amounts of energy‚ which are transformed into work through the mechanism of the engine. This type of engine different from the steam engine‚ which process with an external combustion engine that fuel burned apart from the engine. The principal types of internal combustion
