Lobe Pumps, their working, and applications
In lobe pumps, two lobs of specific design rotate to make the fluid able to flow through fittings. These pumps are used mostly in those industries
G
Gear Pump, its types, working, limitations, and applications
If a positive displacement pump uses interconnecting of gears to pump the fluid then it is known as a gear pump. Gear Pumps are mostly

Fire Point
The lowest temperature of a fuel at which the vapors of that fuel catches fire without any ignition source called fire point. The fire point is measured using an open cup apparatus. Method To measure the fire point using an open cup method is conducted in a vessel that is Read more…

Electrochemical Series
Different electrodes have different standard electrode potentials. The standard electrode potentials for some electrodes are negative, while for some others it is positive. The potential values of many electrodes have been measured experimentally and their standard reduction potentials are arranged in sequential order. This arrangement of elements in order of Read more…

Cathodic Protection and its two types
A metal comprises of uncharged blocks known as atoms. When a metal corrodes in a corrosive environment, atoms with positive charge
C
Corrosion and its Mitigation Techniques
Conversion of refined metal to a chemically stable form (oxides, hydroxides, or sulfides). It happens because of a reaction with oxidants
