What is relationship between load and frequency?
Speaking in plain english:
as load increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.
To understand it technically, you need to know what lenz's law and faraday's law of electromagnetic induction is.
For a generator, as load (current drawn) increases, opposing (len's law) electromagnetic induced emf (faraday's law) in generator windings increases and hence it opposes the movement of prime mover. Thus the speed (rpm) of rotor decreases and hence the frequency of generated power output.

Civilization or civilisation generally refers to polities which combine three basic institutions: a ceremonial center (a formal gathering place for social and cultural activities), a system of writing, and a city. The term is used to contrast with other types of communities including hunter-gatherers, nomadic pastoralists and tribal villages. Civilizations have more densely populated settlements, characterized by a ruling elite, and subordinate urban and rural populations, which, by the division of labor, engage in intensive agriculture, mining, small-scale manufacture and trade. Civilization concentrates power, extending man's control over both nature, and over other human beings. Refer to link below.
Civilization is a group of societies (e.g.: countries, villages, cities) that share the same territory, language, culture, architecture, religion, etc. For example, the USA is a society. USA, other countries of the American continent (like Canada, Mexico and Brazil) and Europe form the occidental civilization.
What is the use of numerical analysis and why you have to study?
Numerical analysis has numerous applications in all fields of science and some fields of engineering, and essentially any type of work that requires calculations to give very precise solutions.
The point of numerical analysis is to analyse methods that are used to give approximate number solutions to situations where it is unlikely to find the real solution quickly, and to try and improve upon these methods so as to reduce the amount of error generated by computer calculation.
It is essential in work that requires precise numbers to get very good approximations with very little error in them, if approximations with just even 1 or 2% error are used in another calculation, and the answer of that calculation used in another, and so on, the errors will build up and you end up with very unreliable numbers. This is why it is a good idea to study numerical anlysis if you intend to go into any area of work requiring precise calculations, so as to be able to identify if there are areas you can improve so as to better your methods in finding solutions and reducing error.
What is the description of the esophagus?
The esophagus is the tube-like structure that joins the throat to the stomach. The esophagus, which is positioned behind the trachea, is about eight inches in length.
What year were tower cranes introduced in the US?
The Older term is, and still widely used Hammer Head Cranes- from the shape. They were initially used in Ship construction in Europe and England. a German shipyard had the record-breaking ( Kaiser Bill) which could hoist 340 tons- a record for this crane type- in the early years of the past century. They were comparitively rare on fixed ground construction sites , say in the Interwar years- but this may have been a cause and effect of the Depression economy- these things are expensive to build- and operate. so-called Center-hung derricks- still in use- were more common. these had the drawback the man running the hoist had to follow telegraph bell signals( something like a marine telegraph)- but from his duty station could not see the load- the crane operator and rigger, could, of course.
How much does the Aswan dam cost?
The building of the dam was funded by the Soviets who in June 1956 offered their loan of $1,120,000,000 at 2% interest for the construction.
A silt trap is a designated area where water that is contaminated with suspended sediment as a result of construction activity or water runoff is contained. While the water is in a silt trap, the sediment can settle to the bottom of the trap until it can be removed.

Why do you want to join in banking sector being a engineering graduate?
During my engineering i am not much career oriented,but after my graduation i am having a tremendous interest in banking due to my family background.Apart from that since banking is a back bone of any country,so i really want to be part of it.As banking offers tremendous growth opportunity.Bank employee have respect in society,since there is direct interaction with customers.one of the major reason is job security especially in public sector bank.Last but not the least banking provides challenging work environment.
What structural improvements should be made to buildings in coastal areas prone to disasters?
Structural improvement in such areas need to be defined according to the particular risks. Risks can be wind, seismic, soil liquefaction, flooding, landslide, hurricane, wildfire, depending on the particulars. Each type of risk would call for different structural means of minimizing damage.
Is diploma holder equal to graduate?
If the individual has a diploma, then he/she would have had to graduate from the program he/she received the diploma from.
Is asphalt cement primarily made from bituminous coal tar or from petroleum byproduct?
True asphalt cement is made ONLY of petroleum byproduct, and may have varying levels of volatiles still present, but should never include any coal tar, as that is an entirely different binder. The two do have many similarities, though, particularly that they are both thermoplastic binders. But the main answer is that asphalt DOES NOT contain bituminous coal tar.
What is the minimum depth required for a building foundation?
It depends on your local building codes and the depth of the frost line in your area.
Difference between English bond and Flemish bond?
In case of the English bond bricks were laid in alternate layers of headers and stretchers. while flemish bond has alternate headers and stretchers within a layer, giving good looks to the surface. English bond has high strength value while flemish bond has looks.
About how many steel beams are in a 80 story skyscraper?
More than a few.
Research it-it'll do you good; its better than getting fast answers here.
Honeycomb rock is limestone rock. Little pieces of rock landed on the surface and carved a little hole for itself then with wind and water the rock switched around making the hole even bigger.

What is heat analysis of steel?
ASTM A 962/ A 962M -07a S51 defines Heat Analysis as An analysis of each remelt ingot shall be made by the steel manufacturer to determine the percentages of those elements specified in the individual product specification.

Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology for Chemical Analysis of Steel Product can be found in ASTM A 751 Larry Ford
Btech chemical under distance jrn rvd university deemed aicte ugc dec approved not?
This question can best be answered by the university itself. All you have to do is make an Indian Postal Order of Rs.10/- in favour of IPO / Registrar JNR RVD University Pratapnagar, Udaipur (Rajasthan) and send this alongwith letter in which you ask the same question and any other relevant information under Right to Information Act. The university has to reply to you with in 30 days. I am sure you will get the best possible information on the issue.
How do you compute volume of excavation of pond with different heights?
If you are in the planning stages, you can only be very approximate. You can draw on graph paper the bottom level and top levels, and then count the squares that are contained inside of the lines, for both of these levels. For squares that are cut by your line, I would generally count them as a half square. Now take an average of your two areas and multiply times the depth of your pond. Other quicky methods might work if your pond is round or oval shape, and you can approximate the diameter as an average of the maximum and minimum diameters. If you've already have a pond, then simply calculate your hose water rate by filling a 10 gallon and then seeing how long it takes to fill your pond.
