Knuckle Joint Design Procedure        Before going into detailed steps to design the dimensions of the Knuckle joint, it is essential to get oriented with all its components and their functions. Here is the diagram showing the exploded view  of Knuckle Joint. As seen in the assembly the Knuckle joint has main four parts Rods {Which are to be connected by joint } Single eye {Modified rod for assembly} Double eye or Forked end {Modified rod for assembly} Pin {Connects the two rods} Collar {to keep the pin in position} Split pin or taper pin {Not in diagram} {to prevent sliding away of pin} Assembly Drawing and Notations used in Knuckle Joint Notations used in design : P  =  Tension in rod ( Load on the joint) D =  Diameter of rod D 1 = Enlarged diameter of rod d = Diameter of pin d 1  = Diameter of pin head d 0  = Outer diameter of eye or fork t1 = thickness of eye...

What is Boiler ? A  boiler  is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated. The fluid does not necessarily boil. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, including water heating, central heating,  boiler-based power generation , cooking, a nd sanitation. Various type of Boiler: 1.Fire Tube Boiler 2. Water Tube Boiler
