What subjects do you take in industrial engineering?

Although very similar, each college or university has a curriculum layout particular to that school. Go to www.collegeboard.com/splash/ and use their College MatchMaker search engine. You can do a search by major, name of institution, and geographical location. You will be able to obtain a list of institutions that offer your program of interest. The site will give you some background about the school and a link to their web site where you can secure the requirements for Industrial Engineering. Have patience with this site. Once you get the hang of it, it will be a very helpful tool for you.

Whats is the function of the metal poles-tubes-bars on the sides of early 20th century battleships?

If you mean the poles fitted at an angle along the sides of the hulls of battleships, these are supports for anti-torpedo nets.

When a ship was at anchor outside of a harbour it was liable to be attacked by submarines or destroyers, so the crew would swing out the poles and unfurl the heavy nets attached. These would suspend below the waterline, hopefully to stop a torpedo.

They were gradually removed when it was found torpedoes could be fitted with net cutters and also the effort to swing them out and back in again when wishing to move the ship was very time consuming.

In WW2 some merchant ships were successfully fitted with nets for use while sailing but they tended to slow the ships too much.

What is the difference between a step up transformer and a step down transformer?

the main function of transformer is to change the magnitude of Voltage. difference between step up and step down is step up will change the input voltage into a larger magnitude of output while step down is vice versa

Where can you find information about a Nitro King single shot shotgun that says twist barrel choke bored serial 72346 and a T on the underside of the barrel?

NITRO KING was a trade name used by Sears on guns they retailed through their catalogs in the late 1880's through World War I. There is no appreciable collector value, and these guns are generally considered unsafe to fire due to the twist steel barrel. Value would be in the $50 range. sales@countrygunsmith.net

Apart from transformers what other instrument can you use to step down voltage?

resistors - and they have to be physically large enought to dissipate the heat of the voltage x current you will drop out.

How long were trebuchet used for?

trebuchets originated in china around 300 BC and was used all the way through the 14 century until eventually gunpowder made it obsolete.

How do you test free chlorine in a cooling tower?

There are test kit available in the market to check chlorine concentration in ppm levels. It also had real-time analyser for the chlorine in the market.

You may want to search for DPD Colorimetric Method for the titration mechanism of chlorine.

What is the purpose of testing shapes in a wind tunnel?

the purpose is they can find the best shape to go with the wind

What is mechanical seal barrier fluid?

Mechanical Seal barrier fluid is the media used for the flushing of mechanical seal faces. The heat generated (because of physical contact and friction) between a pair of mechanical seal (Normally one face rotary whereas the the is stationary) faces is being carried away by the barrier fluid which is being recirculated after proper cooling.

The barrier fluid also create a barrier between the process fluid and flushing fluid. It is being kept at a higher pressure than process fluid in order to always ensure that only barrier fluid film remain across the seal faces all the time.

The barrier fluid is being kept in a container with connected piping from mechanical seal inlet and outlet. There is normally a cooling device (Air cooler or conventional water cooler) in between for cooling the seal outlet barrier fluid.

Liquids being used as a barrier fluid in cases of liquid sealing. Where as gases being used a barrier in case of gas sealing.

The barrier fluids are being recommended considering the various check points being given as a guide line in API 682 3rd edition. ( See the details in the subject API plan 53 & 74 barrier fluid selection).

What are the dimensions of one sheet of drywall?

THE DIMENSIONS CAN BE VERY DIFRENT YOU CAN GET IT 1/4 , 3/8 , 5/8 OR 1/2 THIK AND THE MOST COMPANY DO HAVE IT 4FT WIDE AND THE CAN BE 8FT, 9 FT, 10 FT, OR 12 FT LONG

Why were people against factory reform?

Because the reform meant workers spending less hours filling the pockets of greedy businessmen, all problems to do with human suffering come down to one thing, and have throughout history; power. What gave power in this time period? Money. Money is the root of all evil.

Zone valve is used to open in hot water heat?

A zone valve is actuated by a thermostat and will allow water to pass from the boiler to radiant floor piping or base board radiators or in some cases a hot water storage tank.

Define the term capacity?

The legal ability to enter into a contractual relationship.

What was the first American rifle that auto ejects the clip?

The M1-Garrand was the first American rifle that automatically ejects the clip. (It was manufactured in WW2.) That was a flaw but, also a good thing it told the enemy you had to reload but what some of the old WW2 vets did was load a full clip then pick up and throw down an empty clip. Then when they stick up there heads to shoot... BAA BOOM!

Which is best positive feedback or negative feedback?

Obviously,it depends on the situation.

consider a transistor amplifier.To minimize the change in collector current with respect to temperature,collector to base bias is used . This circuit uses a NEGATIVE FEEDBACK in order to compensate the rise in output current with temperature.

But in order to achieve maximum gain, the same circuit can use POSITIVE FEEDBACK by connecting the amplified output to the input .

How do you cross file and draw file?

Cross filing is done by pushing the file backwards and forwards at a slight angle to remove as much material as possible as quick as possible. Draw filing is done by using the file sideways along the edge of a piece to produce a good finish an remove very little material
