Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
When two solid surfaces are brought into contact, a finite normal force is needed to pull the two solids apart. This force is known as the force of adhesion or simply adhesion. The coefficient of adhesion () defined as the ratio of tractive effort required to propel the wheel of a locomotive to its adhesive weight. Adhesion traction is the friction between the drive wheels and the steel rail. µ = Ft/W Where Ft = Tractive effort W = Adhesive Weight
P = ρ QHg is the water power equation. Where H = heead = meter g = gravity =m/s2 ρ =density = (kg/m3) P = power = watt = N-m/sec Q = water flow rate = m3/sec
Penstock Penstock pipe is used to bring water from the dam to the hydraulic turbine. Penstock pipes are made up of steel or reinforced concrete. The turbine is installed at a lower level from the dam. The penstock is provided with a gate valve at the inlet to completely close the water supply. It has a control valve to control the water flow rate into the turbine.
