Natural Gas Applications and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle

Applications and Processing of Natural Gas

Natural gas can be used directly as a fuel or as synthesis gas for the petrochemical industry. The transformations and products available are the same as those obtained from synthesis gas derived from crude oil refining. Natural gas is the cleanest natural fuel from a pollution standpoint, as it produces the least amount of CO2 per unit of energy of all fossil fuels. However, it is more difficult to store and transport than solid and liquid fuels.

Milling Cutters: Types, Applications, and Assembly Techniques

Milling Cutters: An Overview

What is a Milling Cutter?

A milling cutter is a cutting tool used in milling machines to remove material from a workpiece. It has several edges or teeth and rotates about an axis to perform the cutting motion.

Classification of Milling Cutters

Based on Tooth Type:

  • Milled Teeth: Characterized by straight boundaries, these teeth cut with ease and provide good performance. They are sharpened by grinding.
    • Straight: Teeth are parallel to the axis, with the full edge cutting the
