3.The word âengineâ is generally used to refer to a reciprocating engine (steam or internal combustion) while âmotorâ is generally used to refer to a rotating device such as an electric motor. 4.An engine is made up of pistons and cylinders while a motor is made up of rotors and stators.
There are three types of fiber optic cable commonly used: single mode, multimode and plastic optical fiber (POF). Transparent glass or plastic fibers which allow light to be guided from one end to the other with minimal loss. Fiber optic cable functions as a light guide, guiding the light introduced at one end of the cable through to the other end. The light source can either be a light-emitting diode (LED)) or a laser.
The discussion on fiber surface treatments (FSTs) can be broadly subdivided into categories based on the fiber type. For example, sizing of glass fiber using a silane coupling agent can be classified as FST . At the meantime, if the reinforcing fiber type is carbon, the surface treatment process tends to be an electrical process. This is not limited to continuous fiber reinforced composites, but also extends to short and long fiber composites. The authors in the review article gave a nice summary of the intended uses of FST techniques [51, 52]: â¢
