"failure is Central to engineering. every single calculation that an engineer makes is a failure calculation. successful engineering is all about understanding how things break a fail,,

Engineering thrives on creativity within constraints, requiring the ability to evaluate diverse solutions. A good solution balances functionality, efficiency, and cost, ultimately the engineer's judgement and expertise. #siyandengineering #Manufacturing #manufacturingexcellence #engineering #EngineeringExcellence #engineeringlife #mechanicalengineering #mechanicalengineer #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #motivation #engineeringconstraints #efficiency #functionality #gears #pumps #valves #valverefurbishment #engineeringrefurbishment

Recently, I have a discussion with my engineering supervisor about what would be the right moment arm for anchor bolts to calculate tensile forces in them. During the discussion two scenarios came out. One is where the moment arm is the distance from one end of base plate to the centerline of the bolt on the other end, and other is the distance between the centerlines of the bolts. To understand that, I worked out an equation and ran numbers for different plate sizes & thicknesses and anchor bolts. As the equation includes tensile resistance of bolts, the outcomes are minimum moment arm for calculating the tensile forces. Based on the results, it seems that scenario 1 is true for 1" plates with 1/2" bolts whereas scenario 2 for 1" plates with 5/8" bolts. For all other cases the arm could be as low as half of the bolt dia or less. Considering the practicality and economy, the scenario 1 seems to be the right choice as it will result in lower tensile forces in bolt compare to scenario 2. Can you think of any other scenario? Please any feedback will be highly appreciated. Thank you for reading.

One of the engineering applications utilized in plants is the “#centrifugal_pump” , which transforms the rotational energy from an impeller into hydrodynamic energy (the fluid's kinetic and pressure energy gained during flow). The impeller, a rotating wheel with curved blades, is the primary component of the actual pump. The impeller is fixed to the pump shaft and spins quickly when the pump is working. The design is crucial and is what mostly controls how the pump operates. Depending on the uses and flow requirements, the blades' number, shape, and orientation change. Connecting the impeller to the driver are additional components such as the shaft and driver (motor). The impeller rotates together with the shaft when the driver rotates it.
