What is the principle of PMI testing?

The XRF-principle (x-ray fluorescence) is the method for PMI. Equipment used contains low radioactive sources (isotopes) or x-ray tubes. The exposed material reflects the radiation, generating energy. As every element has it's own atomic structure, this reflection will generate a different energy level for every element. This energy is measured and detected, thus identifying the alloy elements.

The other method for PMI is Spark emission spectrography. Spectography is based on optical emission. The equipment consists of a probe which releases a spark that is used to vaporise the material being analysed. The atoms and ions in this vapour produce a spectrum which can be optically measured and then recalculated to determine the components of the material

What is the primary purpose of Lean Six Sigma?

It aim to achieve high tolerance(low allowance).

Thus the product does not undergo failure easily.

It is called 6 sigma when it has only 1 failure per million.

What termed of the length of time an image stays on the screen after the signal is removed?

Persistence.

However, it should be understood that there is both physical persistence, i.e. the time the image stays on the screen, and biological persistence, i.e. the time the human eye continues to perceive the image.

What are the average dimensions of nose wheel landing gear of an aircraft?

Unsure if you are asking for Nose Wheel (tire) dimension or the height of the Nose Landing Gear?

Nose WheelBoeing 747-200 49X17 Tire 30/32 ply rating

Boeing 767 H32 X 14-15 20/22 ply rating

Douglas DC-9-50 26.6 X 6.6CH 10 ply rating

Douglas DC10-30 40 X 15.5-16 26/28 ply rating

Reference: "Aircraft Landing Gear Design: Principles and Practices" by N. S. Currey, Pub by AIAA.

Nose Landing GearDC10 Nose Landing Gear is mounted in the aircraft at a slight angle forward. If the gear was taken out of the a/c and laid down with the wheels removed, the full length of the gear from center of Trunnion mount to center-line of Axle is as follows:

Fully Compressed 80.17 inches

Static Position 82.17 inches (weight on gear)

Fully Extended 97.17 inches

Length of Strut Stroke 17.00 inches

What is 3 concentric rotating shafts?

Three concentric and rotating shafts would be known as a contra-rotating device. Currently, several machines like these are being designed, according to the US Patent Office.

In metalurgy what is the definition of a flow-wetted material?

My apologies... I got it wrong... it is just the material continually in contact with the flow in a valve.

Thank you anyway...

What is flexible steel rule and uses?

A flexible steel rule is similar to a rigid steel rule but it is easier to bend and it does not retain shape when bent, but springs back to it's original straight shape. You use it to measure length or distance. You can also use it to whack (hit) things, but don't do your little brother or he'll tell Mom.

What is a variable times a variable?

It can be a new variable eg x*y = xy.

Or it can be a constant eg x is a variable then 3/x is another variable. x*(3/x) = 3, which is a constant.

Why a firm may develop a new product?

A firm would usually do that because it expects to sell the product, and make a profit.

How many watts does it take to get a signal to orbit?

At the company I work for, we send signals to orbit with 1 watt, but I'm sure it could be done with less. However, it depends on how fast a datarate you want, more power can generally get you a higher datarate.

How do you use net office?

NETOffice is a web based project management application which helps in colloboration, task management, assignment, tracking, approval etc.

What is the fullform of AM?

amplitude modulation

Yep, but can also be Ante Meridian. Before noon.

What is a hydraulic miner called?

A hydraulic miner is commonly referred to as a "hydraulic miner" or simply a "hydraulic placer miner." This type of miner uses high-pressure water jets to dislodge and wash away soil and rock, allowing them to extract valuable minerals, particularly gold, from alluvial deposits. The technique is often associated with historical gold mining during the 19th century, especially in regions like California.

How do tornado sirens work?

Some are electronic, and some old ones use a blower motor to blow air into the chopper. The chopper kind of chops the air. It is then blown out a horn

What is the definition of pressure ratio?

ratio of maximum to minimum pressure only case of constant volume heat addition in engine cycle

Should a runway be made smooth or rough?

A runway must be smooth in order for an airplane to land safely on it.

What is difference between fuel refinery and lube refinery?

In a general perspective: The initial stage of production for both products will be at the same refinery, from the same raw material. Obviously the lubricating oil has a different composition than petrol/ gas/ combustible fuel, so the difference is at which point in the refinement process the hydrocarbons (molecules composed of carbon and hydrogen) are extracted from the raw material.

After the raw material is heated to a gaseous state, the hot gas will cool as it rises through the distillation column. Since different hydrocarbons have different boiling points, they will condensate at different points in the column and be collected. This is how the compounds used in lubricating oils, fuels, plastics, etc. are separated from the raw material. This process is known as fractional distillation.

These distilled products may undergo further distillation and refinement, and different chemicals may be added prior to shipment to the consumer/industrial markets.

What is the term plait point?

A plait point is a term used in liquid-liquid extraction. It is the point where all three phases (in a ternary diagram) are partially soluble in each other. (excuse me if this is wrong)
