A pH meter is a device used to measure a solution’s acidity or alkalinity. This measurement is expressed on a scale of 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most basic. There are many applications of pH meter, including scientific research, environmental monitoring, and quality control in food and … Read more
An accelerometer is a device that measures acceleration, which is the rate of change in the velocity of an object. Accelerometers are commonly used in a variety of applications, including inertial navigation systems, automobile airbag deployment, vibration monitoring and analysis, motion-activated games and devices, and pedometers. They are essential tools for detecting and measuring motion … Read more
Gas turbine power plants are a type of power plant that uses a gas turbine to generate electricity. It uses a gas turbine to convert the heat energy of pressurized air into mechanical energy. As a result, the mechanical energy turns the blades of an alternator which generates electricity. In this article, we will discuss … Read more
Pulverized coal is used in modern thermal power plants. It is a powdered form of coal i.e., coal that is grounded into a dust-like size. The pulverized coal is then conveyed to the furnace by way of a stream of hot air. An important purpose of pulverization is to expose a large surface area to … Read more
A diesel power plant is a type of power plant that uses the heat generated by burning diesel fuel to generate electricity. It produces electricity by rotating alternators using a diesel engine. A diesel power plant uses a diesel engine as its prime mover. Diesel combustion generates rotational energy. Diesel engines are equipped with alternators … Read more
The half wave rectifier is a type of rectifier that converts one half of each cycle of an AC signal into a DC signal (pulsating DC). A half-wave rectifier does not utilize the full cycle of the input AC signal, whereas a full wave rectifier utilizes both half-cycles of the input AC signal. The purpose … Read more
Full wave rectifiers are types of rectifiers that convert both halves of each cycle of an AC signal into a pulsed DC signal (also called pulsating DC). The full wave rectifier utilizes the full-cycle of the input AC signal, as opposed to half wave rectifiers which utilize only the half-cycle of the input AC signal. … Read more
The conversion of sunlight into electricity can occur through either photovoltaics (PV) or by using concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. It’s an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to generate electricity. In recent years, solar power has grown rapidly due to technological advancements like higher efficiency solar cells and cheaper installation costs. Our objective in this … Read more
Automatic street lights are becoming popular in the world of street lighting. Automatic streetlights can be programmed to turn ON and OFF based on the time of day, or they can be set to turn ON when there is motion nearby. Automatic street lights can sense when it is dark outside and turn ON automatically … Read more
Solar street lights are a form of street lighting that is powered by solar energy. The installation of solar street lights is increasing in popularity because they are cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Solar street lights can be installed on roads, in parking lots, on sidewalks, and near traffic signals to provide additional illumination to the … Read more
