Sulfur hexafluoride

Sulfur Hexafluoride: A Powerful Greenhouse Gas with a Complex Legacy Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), a colorless, odorless, and non-flammable gas, has found widespread applications in various industries due to its unique properties. However, its remarkable stability, which makes it ideal for certain applications, also poses a significant environmental challenge. SF6 is an extremely potent greenhouse gas, … Read more

Electric motor

Electric motor Electric motor, any of a class of devices that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy, usually by employing electromagnetic phenomena.  Most electric motors develop their mechanical torque by the interaction of Conductors carrying current in a direction at right angles to a Magnetic Field. The various types of electric motor differ in the … Read more

Electric Generators

working principle and use of Generator Generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It works based on principle of faraday law of electromagnetic induction. The faradays law states that whenever a conductor is placed in a varying Magnetic Field, EMF is induced and this induced EMF is equal to the rate … Read more

Domestic power supply and safety for handling electricity

Power distribution Primary distribution lines contain a distribution transformer present in the locality of the clientele. Primary distribution ranges from 4 to 35-kilo Voltage. Only industries can directly feed the transmission line. Most Average consumers are connected to a transformer that brings down the voltage to a useable level. The distribution Network for the primary … Read more

Electricity and Magnetism

Current Electricity Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge through a conducting medium with respect to time. It is caused by drift of free electrons through a conductor to a particular direction.Charges in motion constitute an electric current. Such currents occur naturally in many situations. Lightning is one such phenomenon in which … Read more

Polymers and their uses

A molecule of high relative molecular mass, the structure of which essentially comprises the multiple repetition of units derived, actually or conceptually, from Molecules of low relative molecular mass is called a polymer. A polymer  is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits. Due to their broad range of properties,both synthetic and … Read more

Properties of polythylene

Properties of polythylene Polyethylene is a thermoplastic polymer with variable crystalline structure and an extremely large range of applications depending on the particular type. It is one of the most widely produced plastics in the world (tens of millions of tons are produced worldwide each year). The commercial process (the Ziegler-Natta catalysts) that made PE … Read more

Polyvinyl chloride

Polyvinyl chloride What is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and What is it Used For? Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most commonly used thermoplastic polymers in the world (next to only a few more widely used plastics like PET and PP). It is a naturally white and very brittle (prior to the additions of plasticizers) plastic. PVC has been around longer than most … Read more
