Power Transmission
What alternatives can be used in automobile instead of differentials for power transmission?
neeraj580
- Aug 26th, 2010
Differential is used because while turning the velocity of inner and outer wheel are differnt so if we do not use differntial skidding can take place, alternative for differntial is to power just one of the wheel in the axle.

What is the function of jokey pump?
kit_inton
- Jun 19th, 2011
The? function of jokey pump is to maintain the pressure in pipe line,?pressure switch set at hi/lo?to start the jokey?pump motor, in case the pressure drop that jokey pump can't build up the pressure, then the main pump automatically start.

Boiler Feed Pumps
Why are the stages being provided in Boiler Feed Pump?
kit_inton
- Jun 19th, 2011
Boiler feed pump stages deliver high discharge pressure from pump to overcome the pressure inside the boiler drum and pressure losses from pipe connections, and also friction loss.
sudeeb
- Dec 20th, 2010
Boiler feed pump is a multi-stage centrifugal pump where no of impellers more than one usually >3 . Depending upon the boiler working pressure pump will select. The pump should have high positive suction to avoid cavitation, usually take more than 10m. feed water temperature will be more than>65'C.
