What is the importance of Industrial Engineering?

The Industrial engineering dept is firstly and upmostly a service department. The main objective is to provide effective support as required in terms of providing efficient reports after studying cases, measuring, analysing and then reporting with end required result with supportive recommendations/conclusions. The IE will be responsible for making time studies, measuring individual performances, motion studies of proper ways of managing an specific job, recording of times, analyse, and standardize those times, recommendations on reducing waste of materials and utilities, designing adequate tools when required, making production layouts/workstation layout proposals, revolving around production floor and determining better ways/production procedures.

The industrial engineer have the co-responsibility to increase individual/section productivity either by implementing proper working methods, proper line balancing, identifying manual works than can be done more effectively while using proper tools, identifying bottle necks and making better work flow, design training programs and train workforce, or brainstorming of workforce.

The IE department should also provide proper reports such as reports where performance and effecicience are being measures v/s target, and scientific recommendations should be made accordingly, or any other kind of report which can be used as a tool measure the productivity, or can it be a tool for reference to be able to be more efficienct.

Difference between an engineered fill and a non-engineered fill material?

Engineered fill is soil or crushed stone that is compacted and used as fill. Engineered fill has much to do with the placement and compaction of the material you are using and not just the material itself.

Explain how grounding can offer protection from electric discharges?

there are wristbands available that ground you, so any static electricity you generate is transferred away from you. Also, touching anything metal will discharge the electricity just like the wristband, however, and more you generate will be transferred to the computer component you are working with (which is where i believe you were going with this question)

What is step up transformer?

To transmit a lot of electrical power, you either need a high voltage or a high current. But a higher current means your cables got hotter and you lose a lot of energy so is better to use higher voltage. To increase the voltage, we need to use a step up transformers.

Step up transformers are transformers which has ability to increase the voltage and they have more turns on the secondary coil on the primary coil.

What are the advantages of Program Logic Control?

A Programable Logic Controller is simply a small computer used to control some system such as garden watering systems. They are everywhere. The computer in microwave ovens, television sets, fridges etc are all PLCs. Generally the term is used to describe a computer that doesn't normally interact with a human but just controls something like those things listed above. There are many many more PLCs around the place than computers that humans comminicate with.

What is a measuring tape used for?

  1. Metric Rulers and meter sticks are used to measure short lengths and distances. Both devices are marked in centimeters and millimeters.Metric Rulers are generally 15 cm (6 inches) and 30 cm (12 inches) long.

Where is the largest blast furnace in the world and how big is it?

As of mid-2012 the largest blast furnace in Europe was the one at Duisberg, Germany, which is said to be about 90 metres tall. Please see the link.

Why does one line of 3 phase 480v show 0 volts and the other 2 have 480?

My first thought is this is probably a corner grounded delta system, but I'm confused by your voltages. If this was a 460v (L-L voltage) ungrounded or corner grounded system, the phase to ground voltage is meaningless, but the phase to phas voltage will be 460v all around the delta. If you have a 460v system and you're only seeing 230v, there's something wrong.

12000 BTU equals how many CFM?

A watt is used to measure power, whereas a British Thermal Unit (BTU) is an archaic unit used for measuring energy. As power and energy are two different quantities, you cannot convert a watt into a BTU.

Your question is rather like asking, "How many kilometres per hour' are there in a furlong?"

What does a step up and a step down transformer do?

It raises the voltage of the output of the main generator to the level of the grid transmission lines. The actual values depend on the design of the plant and grid system. In the UK the generator output would typically be about 23 kV and the grid line at 400 kV. Very high voltages make transmission of power more economical because the current is correspondingly reduced.

How is slag collected from a blast furnace?

iron is collected from blast furnace by drilling the taphole.Taphole is a hole drill and plug after cycle of time located in blast furnace bottom.

How do you check a capacitor to see if it is good or bad?

There are many ways. FIRST: short the terminals to ensure it is not charged. Many of the digital meters today also have a capacitance check setting, simply use that setting. It not only checks for faults, but also will give you a reading of the capacitance value itself. For most non-electrolytic capacitors a quick check (definately bad vs. maybe good) can be done with an analog VOM. Use the highest resistance scale to measure across the terminals. When first connected there should be a short needle jump that slowly drops back to infinity. Reverse the leads and do it again, should have the same effect. Any resistance highter than infinity indicates a shorted capacitor. Lack of needle jump may indicate an open capacitor (or one of very little capacitance). Electrolytics can also be checked with a VOM, but polarity must be observed, and the drop back to infinity may take a very long time. Alternatively, for electrolytics and larger capacitors is to charge them with a low voltage source (e.g. 9V battery) and measure with multimeter to see if they hold the charge.

What is the Function of light bulb in an electric circuit?

The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.

What are the advantages of using automated systems in our everyday life?

  • A safer operating system
  • A more efficient factory
  • Faster response time, at a Fire Station, or Ambulance Dispatch
  • Fewer workers on the actual production line. BUT in my experience, the company has required more workers overall because of the increase in productivity.
  • Increase in Productivity
  • Improved record keeping
  • Better QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control)
  • -Repeatability
  • -Less color & size variation
  • -Ability to produce a similar item at a later date
  • Faster Production - 100 Widgets/Hr -vs- 80 Widgets/Hr.
  • It looks Awesome

automation builds buildings, humen cannot do that because they cannot reach greater hights

What are the different types of geometric constraints that are applied to sketches and what are their functions?

Perpendicular is a constraint that causes lines or axes of curves to meet at right angles.

Parallel causes two or more lines or ellipse axes to be equidistant from each other.

Tangent is used to cause two arcs or a line and an arc to intersect at a single point perpendicular to the arc's radius.

Coincident fixes two points together, or fixes a point to a curve.

Concentric causes two or more arcs, circles, or ellipses to share the same center point.

Colinear causes two lines or ellipse axes to lie along the same line.

Horizontal causes lines, ellipse axes, or pairs of points to lie parallel to the X axis of the sketch coordinate system.

Vertical causes lines, ellipse axes, or pairs of points to lie parallel to the y axis of the sketch coordinate system.

Equal forces line segments to be the same length and arcs or circles to have the same radius.

Fix constrains points or curves to a specific point on the sketch coordinate system.

Symmetry causes selected lines or curves to become symmetrically constrained about a selected line.
