winnowing is the separation of solid-solid separated by size and weight whereas sieving is the separation solid-liquid judged by shape and size.

Winnowing is a process of separating grains from chaff by blowing air through them, allowing the lighter chaff to be carried away by the wind. Sieving, on the other hand, involves separating particles of different sizes by passing them through a sieve or screen with specific sized holes.
A sieving machine is typically considered a third-class lever, where the effort is placed between the load (material being sieved) and the fulcrum (pivot point). In this case, the effort is exerted by the machine to sift the material through the sieve.
An example of sieving is when you use a sieve or strainer to separate larger particles from smaller ones. For instance, sifting flour to remove lumps and break up clumps is a common example of sieving in cooking and baking.
Winnowing machines are used to separate grain from chaff and other impurities after harvesting. They are commonly used in agriculture to improve the quality of the harvest and make the grain ready for storage or further processing. Winnowing machines help to increase efficiency and reduce manual labor in the grain-cleaning process.
The phase difference between two waves is directly proportional to the path difference between them. The phase difference is a measure of how much the wave has shifted along its oscillation cycle, while the path difference is a measure of the spatial separation between two points where the waves are evaluated.
The equation for calculating the phase difference between two waves is: Phase Difference (2 / ) (x) Where: Phase Difference is the difference in phase between the two waves is the wavelength of the waves x is the difference in position between corresponding points on the waves
