T01- Introduction to Turning on Lathe

What is turning ? Turning is a machining process used to generate cylindrical and conical surface by rotating the work piece and with the help of cutting tool. The machine where the turning process is usually carried on is called as lathe , where a cutting tool is fed against a rotating work-piece. What is the working principle of Lathe? The principle of operation is shown in the figure. Here both the work piece and the tools are rigidly held on the lathe. Then the tool is provided with longitudinal and transverse movement while the work-piece is being rotated at suitable speed. Basically three type of major surface can be produced depending on the movement of the tool, They are as follows:- I. When the tool moves parallel to the axis of rotation of the work piece, a cylindrical surface can be produced. Which is as shown below. II. When the tool moves at an angle to the axis of the work piece, a tapered surface can be produced. Which is as shown below. III. When the tool moves perpe

Jowar (ಜೋಳ)

It is flowering plant belongs to grass family Poaceae . It is also known as Sorghum, which is cultivated extensively in India and other country. Earlier Jowar was used in food made for animals but now people have started incorporating it in their diet due to its incredible health benefits. Now a day all bakery and homemade dishes make uses of all-purpose flour/Maida which is not good at all for health. A healthy alternative to all-purpose flour is jowar. This is rich in protein, Potassium, Calcium and other minerals. Since the jowar is gluten free, it plays a critical role in cellular function and repair. The rich quantity of Potassium & Phosphorus helps lower cholesterol and mange High B.P. The grain is incredibly rich in fiber and hence should be part of diet.

H09- Internal gear pump

A gear pump consist of two meshing gear. One of the gear is connected to a driving shaft known as D river gear which drives 2nd gear called D riven OR Idler gear . These gear are enclosed inside the housing. These pumps are particularly used to transfer viscous fluid. Constructional feature: In this type of the pump the meshing of the teeth takes place internally and hence the name internal gear pump.it consist of external gear which meshes with gear which contains internal gear as shown in figure. The pumping chamber is formed between the gear teeth. A crescent seal is machined into the space between the inlet and outlet OR meshing and unmeshing region of the gear where the clearance between the internal gear( annular gear) and external gear is maximum. Thus the crescent seal separates both inlet and outlet and it will not allow the fluid to return the inlet. Working : Low pressure oil from the inlet port is converted into high pressure oil at outlet as follows.
