Introduction

The reciprocating engine converts pressure into a rotating motion that propels the movements of the parts connected to the shaft. A reciprocating engine would have cylinders, pistons, crankshaft, rods, valves and spark plugs. The up-down motion of the engine transfers the movement or the energy to the propeller through the connected shaft, cam and the rods. This is a basic functioning of a reciprocating engine used in aircraft, and its power is measured in horsepower. One horsepower is equivalent to the power of lifting 33,000 pounds ...

Introduction:

In a typical hydroelectric power generation system, a dam (water reservoir) is built near water body such as a river to create head (height) that enables water to flow at high pressure via a pipe (penstock) to the turbines that drive the power generators. The fast moving water turns the turbine blades at high velocity, and in turn, the turbine turns the electricity generator’s rotor. The wire coils in the generator’s rotor sweep past the stationary coil (stator) in the generator thus producing electricity. This concept was first demonstrated in 1831 by Michael Faraday, who discovered that ...
