Engines and pumps are common engineering devices which have become essential to the smooth running of modern society. Many of these are very sophisticated and require infrastructure and high levels of technological competence to ensure their correct operation, for example, some are computer controlled, others require stable three phase electrical supplies, or clean hydrocarbon fuels. This project focuses on the identification, design, construction and testing of a simple, yet elegant, device which has the ability to pump water but which can be manufactured easily without any special tooling...

Turbochargers are commonly being used on diesel engines for many years. In contrast only a few petrol engines have been turbocharged until recently and it is unlikely that a large fraction of the world petrol engine will be so equipped. Most of the vehicles in the Indian automobile market continue to utilize turbocharged diesel engines compared to gasoline engines. However, experts are of the opinion that turbo growth, in the future would not be confined to diesel sector alone. There would be a tremendous growth in demand of Gasoline downsizing, in next few years. The whole industry is...

An aircraft engine is the component of the propulsion system for an aircraft that generates mechanical power. Aircraft engines are almost always either lightweight piston engines or gas turbines. The Combat aircrafts play a pivotal role in the defense of air worthiness of any nation. These have mostly turbo-jet engines which are generally air breathing type. This work presents the basic concepts of operation and various manufacturing processes adopted for various jet engines.
