Which element forms a protective coating when it rusts? chromium How is filiform corrosion treated? This type of filiform corrosion can damage all types of aluminum products such as wheels, automobile bodies and aircrafts. To repair the effect requires sanding and the application of a new layer of coating. To prevent filiform corrosion, proper surface […]
Which metal is used for galvanizing?
Which metal is used for galvanizing? zinc coating What is the process of galvanizing steel? Hot dip galvanizing is the process of coating iron or steel with a layer of zinc by immersing the metal in a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of around 450 °C (842 °F). Galvanizing is probably the most […]
What does a comparator circuit do?
What does a comparator circuit do? A comparator circuit compares two voltages and outputs either a 1 (the voltage at the plus side; VDD in the illustration) or a 0 (the voltage at the negative side) to indicate which is larger. Comparators are often used, for example, to check whether an input has reached some […]

How do you calculate heat load of shell and tube heat exchanger?
Why is the mechanical advantage of a screw always greater than 1?
Why is the mechanical advantage of a screw always greater than 1? The mechanical advantage of a screw is always greater than 1 because the output force applied by the screw is greater than the input force applied to the screw. What is a mechanical advantage less than 1? Mechanical advantage is defined as the […]
Where does hydro electricity come from?
Where does hydro electricity come from? Hydroelectric power is a renewable energy source which harnesses the power of moving water to produce electricity. The hydroelectric process starts long before you turn your light on at home or work. Large scale hydroelectricity projects typically involve dams.
