What is the difference between equipments and machines and tools?
Equipments are physical resources serving to equip a person or thing, while machines are any device that uses energy to perform some activity and tools are devices that aid in accomplishing a task.
Tools can either be hand-held small appliances or can range from small workshop bench-mounted drills, lathes and presses up to huge industrial machine tools designed to make large pieces of raw materials - such as sheet metal, forged iron or aluminum castings - or other materials - into highly accurately machined components for manufacturing major engineered items such as vehicles, aircraft, ships, steel road and railway bridges, etc.
Machines are devices that need a person's attention when operating.
Equipment are devices that do not need this attention.
Examples: a refrigerator is equipment, a steel cutter is machine, a stove is equipment, a computer or a fax are machines; we call it anyway, "fax machine". Your car is machine/you operate it; your house, though, is "equipped with A/C and fan" because you do not pay attention to them when operating. The water heater is equipment. The pressure washer is machine, the air-compressor is equipment.
What occurs during condensation?
Condensation occurs in the atmosphere as part of the phases in rain cycle. During the condensation phase, water vapor transforms into liquid form. When warm air rises into the atmosphere, it cools down and loses its ability to hold water vapor resulting to the condensation of water forming cloud droplets.
Who was the Us iron master who devised a purification process for the manufacture of steel?
It was Sir Henry Bessemer who patented the process in 1856 to take pig iron disturbed by a current of air to turn it directly into steel. Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish immigrant, was able to use the Bessemer process in his steel mills after the civil war to create the largest iron/steel works in America.
Which elements are transition metals?
All the transition state metals can be found in the clearly marked central portion of the periodic table of elements, but I will tell you that most of the well-known metals, such as iron, copper, gold, lead, zinc, nickel, chromium, platinum, etc., are transition state elements. The only really well known metal that is not a transition state element is aluminum. Other metals such as calcium or sodium are also not transition state elements, but they are not often encountered in their metallic form, they are encountered in compounds such as salt. Metals that we encounter in metallic form are almost always transition state elements.
1. It is used for flow measerment with minimum head loss.

What is the shearing strength of mild steel?
Compressive Stress for mild steel (IS 2062 Gr.B - ASME SA 36 is 407.7 MPa This is what I think is the value. If there are different valuses please send me a amil. ramsrini16@yahoo.com Dr.S.RAmachandran, NIOT , Chennai.
What is the physical meaning of time constant?
Physically, the constant represents the time it takes the system's
step responseto reach
of its final (asymptotic) value.
The ones that i use at college and work are a milling machine, a lathe, a drill, and a saw but i think the main ones (In mechanical engineering) are the Milling Machine and the Lathe.
Belzona coatings are used to prevent erosion and corrosion, it is used to coat and repair many different materials like brass, bronze steel and concrete. For more information visit their website.
What are robots used in car factories?
Depends on what kind of robot. A simple robot that can be easily built into different robots is the LEGO Mindstorms NXT. Go to www.lego.com for more info.
Why does mild steel need coating?
If it is not coated, it is exposed to the air (or whatever) and will rust.
What are Disadvantages of industrial engineering?
It can have a lot of long hours and dangerous work environment. It can also take a lot of schooling to get a position.
What is the application of Bernoulli theorem?
The only certain application of Bernoulli's Theorem I know is in the Bernoulli's Theorem experiment in college. All other examples are in my opinion a restatement of Newtons Laws, a missinterpretation of results or a failure to fully understand what is physically happening such as in the fallacy that lift in an aerofoil is due to BT. Bernoulli's Theorem is used by the Fire Brigade to calculate velocity and range of different types of fire-fighting equipment. Going hand-in-hand with the Venturi effect, it help to calculate reach and pressure required to obtain that reach during fire-fighting operations. Example: A pump supplies 6kW of energy to the water flowing thorugh a 45mm hose. If the water flows 25m vertically and through a 25mm branch at a rate of 480l/min, use Bernoulli's equation to find pressure at the branch.
How is a geometric constraint different from a numeric constraint?
Dealing with engineering or CAD, a geometric constraint deals with constraints such as parallel or perpendicularity. A numeric constraint deals with distances and size. Width, length, and depth are examples of these.
--------
Geometric constraints are constant, non-numerical relationships between the parts of a geometric figure. Numeric constraints are number values, or algebraic equations that are used to control the size or location of a geometric figure :)
How much carbon has mild steel?
It depends in the type of Stainless material grade. Each grade has different percentage of elements such as carbon, nickel, chromium,etc. If you look in the ASME Code on materials. I believe Section I, it will tell you about metals and alloys. If you look in Section IX it will tell you about welding procedures etc etc. Another Code that may asssist you is the ASTM. American System of Testing Materials
IEEE is the acronym for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It provides worldwide standards for the electronics industry. An IEEE format would therefore be a format accepted by the IEEE as universal.
If you are talking about a IEEE format for works cited page in a formal paper, the format would be (for a chapter in a book with one author):
1. P. Carter, "Electrics," In Backstage Handbook: an Illustrated Almanac of Technical Information. Louisville: Broadway Press, 1988, pp. 163-202.
Note: Do not use italics.
Cite all works in one list at the end of the paper, listing them in the order they appear in your paper. Do not repeat sources.
When quoting or referencing a source, use brackets in the format [a: b]; where "a" is the citation number, and "b" is the page. If mentioning an author cited, bracket with the format [a] Example:
Carter [1] believed that the lack of international color standardization was actually a boon to entertainment. The different colors provided by different gel manufacturers [1: 174] gave a wider field of options to lighting designers.
For more complete information on IEEE formating, most college websites have complete (and EXHAUSTIVE) material on the subject such as "How to cite a webpage with more than three authors" and "How to cite an email from my dog who has no last name."
What is the Manufacturing process of mountain bike?
frame tubes are constructed from solid blocks of steel that are pierced and "drawn" into tubes through several stages. These are usually superior to seamed tubes, which are made by drawing flat steel strip stock, wrapping it into a tube, and welding it together along the length of the tube. Seamless tubes may then be further manipulated to increase their strength and decrease their weight by butting, or altering the thickness of the tube walls. Butting involves increasing the thickness of the walls at the joints, or ends of the tube, where the most stress is delivered, and thinning the walls at the center of the tube, where there is relatively little stress. Butted tubing also improves the resiliency of the frame. Butted tubes may be single-butted, with one end thicker; double-butted, with both ends thicker than the center; triple-butted, with different thicknesses at either end; and quad-butted, similar to a triple, but with the center thinning towards the middle. Constant thickness tubes, however, are also appropriate for certain bikes.
The tubes are assembled into a frame by hand-brazing or welding by machine, the former being a more labor-intensive process and therefore more expensive. Composites may be joined with strong glue or plastic binders. The components are generally manufactured by machine and may be attached to the frame by hand or machine. Final adjustments are made by skilled bicycle builders.
Is the ammonia Haber Bosch process dangerous?
Working with gases (especially hydrogen and ammonia) at high temperatures and pressures may be dangerous.
What are the major job responsibilities of a manufacturing engineer?
Manufacturing engineers are primarily responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing manufacturing processes and systems to enhance production efficiency and product quality. They analyze workflows, implement technology solutions, and ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Additionally, they collaborate with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot production issues and may also be involved in the selection and maintenance of manufacturing equipment. Continuous improvement methodologies, such as Lean or Six Sigma, are often employed to drive operational excellence.
What is the difference between bow shackle and anchor shackle?
In most cases, people recognize bow shackles and anchor shackles as same, their names are used interchangeably.
However, although the shape of bow shackle and anchor shackle looks similar, they are different type of shackles. Normally, the bowed part of bow shackle is much larger than an anchor shackle.
