Industrial Engineering

Industrial Engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the creation and management of systems that integrate people and materials and energy in productive ways. An industrial engineer studies industrial productivity and makes and implements recommended changes.

What are the uses of a belt drive?

A belt drive is an alternative to a chain drive (as you would normally find on a bicycle or motorcycle). There are several types of belt used in belt drive systems including V-belts and toothed belts. The more common is the V-belt. A cross section of the pulley used shows that the belt runs in a V-shaped groove. Washing machines, older cars, and machinery use this type of belt system. The toothed belt is normally wide and flat with teeth on the inside to prevent slippage. Harley Davidson motorcycles use these, as do super-charged engines in cars.

Why have so many variable type devices in autos been replaced with attribute type devices?

Inspection of items or products can be done in two ways:

1. By attributes, using gages to determine if the product is good or bad, resulting in a yes/no, go/no-go decision.

2. By variables, using calibrated instruments to determine the actual dimensions of the product for comparison with the size desired.

In an automobile, a speedometer and oil pressure gage are variable types of measuring instruments, and an oil pressure light is an attributes-type of gage. As is typical of an attributes gage, the driver does not know what the pressure actually is if the light goes on, only that it is not good.

Variable types of inspection generally take more time and are more expensive than attribute inspection, but they yield more information because the magnitude of the characteristic is known in some standard unit of measurement.

How do you calculate the excess inventory across a supply chain or at a particular site warehouse?

You would have to do a count of all the inventory. Have all the managers submit the information so you can determine the excess.

What makes the fluid flow in a pressurized system?

a difference in pressure (differential pressure). For example putting air in a tire (I know its pneumatics and not hydraulics but it is the same concepts.) the air tank is holding 110 lbs of pressure and when you connect the hose to a tire with 25 lbs the air is going to flow from the tank to the tire. or from high pressure to low pressure.

How do you wire a Bridgeport Mill running on 440 3ph to 240 3ph?

Hi there are a few options. The one I chose was to use a VFD (variable frequency drive). First though if you want to run off true lower voltage you will need to check that the motors can be reconfigured to run as delta instead of star. If you look at the motor plate this should give you some idea. If you are lucky the motor terminals will have links that let you move them to reconfigure. If not you will have to research further on the net. If you use a vfd instead of a rotary or static inverter then you will have to connect the output of this directly to the motor ie with no switches in between. All the control like forward, reverse etc are them controlled as low voltage inputs to the inverter. With a rotary or static inverter it is possible to feed the output of these inverters to the supply of the existing wiring but motor voltages and contractors may not work on the reduced supply.

What is a step up option?

A Step-Up Option is a type of derivative in which the option's strike price resets when knocked in. For example, a long, at-the-money step-up put on a market with a spot price of 100 could have a reset strike every 10 points. When the market hits 110 your strike price steps up to 110.

This will make this put more expensive than a plain vanilla put since your protection level is raised as the market moves away from your original level.

What is meant by marine corrosion?

Corrosion means the breakdown of essential properties in a material due to chemical reactions with its surroundings. Marine corrosion is of particular interest to designers of ships and shoreline facilities because most metals used in these structures are vulnerable to damage from water, and sea water in particular. As an example, metals such as the reinforcing steel used in concrete structures will react in the presence of sea water forming rust that will expand and destroy the overlying concrete, leading to a premature failure of the structure. Different metals corrode more or less agressively in the presence of sea water, and materials scientists track this vulnerability in the "galvanic series", which is a chart that lists each material according to the severity at which it corrodes within a given environment. Note that bonding two metals together in a corrosive environment causes an electrochemical reaction between the two, which causes accelerated corrosion of the metal further down on the galvanic chart. (The metal further down the chart is known as the anode as is preferentially corroded. The other metal is refered to as the cathode.) To slow or limit corrosion of a particular piece of valuable metal (like a ship's hull or your hot water tank), engineers can attach a "sacrificial anode", which will corrode while protecting the structure in question. Another method of reducing corrosion in metal facilities (such as pipelines) is to provide a low level of electrical current to the facility in a system know as "cathodic protection" which protects the facility by accellerating corrosion to anodes driven into the ground at regular intervals.

What is the definition for extension line?

The definition to an Extension Line is:

A line used to visually connect the ends of a dimension line to the relevant feature on the part.

How Extension Lines are used:

Extension lines are solid and are drawn perpendicular to the dimension line.

Why is negative voltage given in bently Nevada vibration probe?

be couse it is bantly neveda monopoly used on based of npn transistors

Answer

There is no such thing as a negative voltage, in the sense you mean -the word you are looking for is negative 'potential'.

What is the function of a dearator on a steam boiler?

Deaerator removes dissolved oxygen from boiler water.

The condensate cascades down a number of perforated trays and its surface area is greately increased. This enables dissolved oxygen to come out.

Further bleed steam is supplied to deaerator and due to this the atmosphere is predominantly of steam. So the partial pressure of oxygen above the water level is very very low. When a gas exists above a liquid level, the solubility gas in the liquid depend upon its partial pressure. So oxygen comes out of water.

Deaerator outlet water has less than 0.05 ppm dissolved oxygen.

This is furthe removed by dizing of Hydrazene (N2H2).
