Description
A heat engine, or more simply, an engine, is a device that extracts energy from its environment in the form of heat and does useful work. At the heart of every engine is a working substance. In a steam engine, the working substance is water, in both its vapor and its liquid form. In an automobile engine, the working substance is a gasoline–air mixture. If an engine is to do work
on a sustained basis, the working substance must operate in a cycle; that is, the working substance must pass through a closed
series of thermodynamic processes, called strokes, returning again and again to each state in its cycle.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
Trending!
A circuit diagram can be analyzed by breaking down the schematics of a circuit, simplifying the resistors into one, and applying fundamental laws of physics. There are three main circuit analysis techniques: the fundamental laws, using the node voltage method or the mesh current method.

Principles of electrical machines
Trending!
An electric generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An electric generator is based on the principle that whenever flux is cut by a conductor, an e.m.f. is induced which will cause a current to flow if the conductor circuit is closed. The direction of induced e.m.f. (and hence current) is given by Fleming’s right hand rule.
