DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "PS" AND "BHP" EXPLAINED !!!

There are a number of ways to measure the power that can be generated by a mechanical device like a car. The most popular is brake horsepower or BHP, which is a method of measurement for vehicles without the encumbrance added by connecting devices like the gearbox and transmission system. In comparison, PS is a unit of power in German. Although PS is very popular in Germany and in Europe, it is rarely seen anywhere else.

Horsepower and PS are not necessarily identical when it comes to values as there is a discrepancy in the value of each unit. One horsepower is the equivalent of 746 Watts while one PS is only 735 Watts. When you compare PS to BHP, you get a coefficient of roughly 0.98.

Summary:

1. BHP is a way of measuring mechanical power while PS is a standard unit for mechanical power in Germany
2. One unit of PS is equivalent to 0.98 horsepower
3. BHP is widely used while PS is considered obsolete.

WHAT DOES "LXI, VXI, ZXI" MEAN IN CARS? CHECK OUT THE ANSWER !!

Almost all car manufacturers have different variants available for the same car.
The car looks the same but will have different features inside and outside.
Maruthi uses L, V, Z alphabets. and their petrol and diesel variants are identified by XI and DI respectively.
Maruti: LXI, VXI, ZXI or LDI, VDI, ZDI
Honda: EMT, SMT, SVMT, VMT, VXMT, SAT, VAT, SCVT, VCVT etc
In honda, E, S, SV, V, VX are the variants and AT means automatic transmission and CVT means continuous variable transmission. so if a model says VCVT that means that the variant is and it has a CVT transmission in it.
In Honda cars petrol and diesel is identified by the separate markings iVTEC and iDTEC respectively

These are the different trim levels which is found in maruti suzuki vehicles.
Trim refers to the items that can be added to the interior and exterior of automobile to increase its appeal.
XI denotes petrol engine
LXI is for lower variant cars
VXI includes basic features like ac , power steering  etc
ZXI includes all the high end features  like ABS,Air bags,music player etc.

It is used for differentiating car models in maruti suzuki.
XI -  Petrol car
DI -  Diesel car
L -  Base model
V -  Full option model
Z -  Added features model

Now,
LXI is a base model Petrol car.
VXI is a full option Petrol car.
ZXI is a added features Petrol car

The same goes for LDI,  VDI,  ZDI. The only change is that it's a diesel car.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TURRET AND CAPSTAN LATHE EXPLAINED !!

A lathe is a machine tool that rotates the workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about that axis.
There are basically two broad classification of semi-automatic lathe.They are:
  1. Turret Lathe
  2. Capstan Lathe 

TURRET LATHE :

>The turret lathe is a form of metalworking lathe that is used for repetitive production of duplicate parts, which by the nature of their cutting process are usually interchangeable

>It has additional turret, which is an indexable toolholder that allows multiple cutting operations to be performed, each with a different cutting tool.

>Need for the operator to perform set-up tasks in between, such as installing or uninstalling tools is not required.

>The turret head is directly mounted on the saddle and the saddle slides over the bed ways. (See figure.)
Fig:Turret Lathe
>Saddle is moved to provide feed to the tool.
>They are heavy and durable.
>More feed and depth of cut are provided for machining.
>It is use for mass production of large size equal part.
>It is accommodated with power chucks.

CAPSTAN LATHE :

>The capstan lathe also has a turret which contains multiple cutting tools but in case of capstan lathe the turret head is mounted on the ram and the ram is mounted on the saddle.(See figure)
Fig:Capstan Lathe 
>Saddle is locked at a particular point and the ram is moved to provide feed to the tool.
>They are lighter in construction.
>Only limited amount of feed and depth of cut are provided for machining.
>It is use for mass production of small size equal part.
>It have hand operated collet chucks.
