What two types of systems are designed built and maintained by mechanical engineers?
Mechanical engineers design, build, and maintain a variety of systems, primarily focusing on thermal systems and mechanical systems. Thermal systems include heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as engines and refrigeration units. Mechanical systems encompass machinery, robotics, and manufacturing equipment. Both types of systems are crucial for industrial processes, energy efficiency, and overall functionality in various applications.
How much does a marine technician make in a month?
A marine technician that works for marine dealerships earn an average of about $35,960 a year, so about $2,299,67 a month. Marine technicians that work in the ship and boat building earned about $40,550 a year, about $3,379.20 a month. Those work on coastal states (Alaska, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Maryland, etc.) usually earn more than others that don't.
Does aluminum have a high density?
No, it is relatively low compared to steel; aluminumdensity is 2.7 g/cc (.098 lb per cu in) while steel is 3 times higher
How many years of college does it take to be an aerospace engineer?
A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

How does Thermodynamics affect the work of mechanical engineers?
thermodynamics, is essential for mechanical engineers, because the subject is mainly about heat and work in system, and as an engineer that is important, especially when you have to design engines, because that is when you have to determine important factors such as the amount of work that can be done by that engine internally, and the heat it transefered and obtained.
What is the relatiionship between torque and speed in gear trains?
I'm guessing you're talking about a disc viscometer, in which case the higher the viscosity, the higher the measured torque.
What are some problems with a globe valve?
advantages of a globe valve
* you get instant access to the supply: only a 90 degree turn to open fully * less maintenance is required to the valve as you won't have to re-seat it disadvantage of a globe valve
* it is harder to finely adjust the flow of your substance compared to a gate valve: a gate valve requires many more turns to fully open and close than the single 90o "part-turn" required on a globe valve
Nobody knows. There were gears thousands of years ago.
What are the disadvantages of the GRP pipes?
First of all
frp full form is glass reinforce plastic and
grp full form is glass reinforce polyester
the difference between this two is,grp is one of the type of frp pipes
like other types are grv (glass reinforce venylester)and gre (glass reinforce epoxy) depends on type of resin(chemical) to be used to make frp pipe.
What is the Relation between sheet metal gauge and thickness?
Metal gauge is inversely proportional to thickness, the bigger the thickness lesser the gauge.
Following is conversion table:-
10 G : 3.15 MM
11 G : 2.8 MM
12 G : 2.5 MM etc....
What is a pitot tube used for?
A pitot tube is used to measure local velocity in a flowing fluid. The pitot tube
hole must face the flowing fluid. The local velocity, u , is given by :
u = SQRT [ ( delta P ) ( 2 ) ( g sub C ) / ( rho ) ]
How would you describe vibration?
mainly two types of Vibration measurement: shaft vibration Bearing Vibration
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a compound gear train?
in general gear drive is useful for power transmission between two shafts which are near to each other ( at most at 1m distance)
also it has maximum efficiency while transmitting power
it is durable compare to to other such as belts, chain drives etc
You can change the power to speed ratio.
advantages:-
- It is used to get various speed in different load conditions.
- It increases fuel efficiency.
- Increases engine efficiency.
- Need less power input when operated manually.
The main purpose of gear drive is a conversion of speed into torque or vice verse.

Why is it a disadvantage for hydraulic systems to have flexible tubes?
If the hoses ("tubes") expand, the pressure available at the working device will be lower, reducing the force available. Also, if the hoses are moving around because they are flexible, they are more likely to get worn or damaged.
There is not a straight forward answer to this question. Basically the strengths of mild steels depends on its material composition. All steels are made with varying alloys and are made from different processes eg. casting, hot or cold rolling and they all have a different effect on its strength. If you know the specifications of the mild steel you are using there are tables for which you can obtain these values. Typically I have seen the yield stress vary from 250 MPa to as much as 550MPa, so you can have an idea of just how much they vary based on their composition.
Who are the possible employers for this career for mechanical engineers?
Many civil engineers work for consulting firms. Their clients are often city governments who need help with their sewers and water systems. Companies hire them to deal with air polution as well as water and sewage problems. They work for architects and plan the technical details of construction. Some work as expert witnesses for lawyers. They design bridges and highways for all levels of government.

What is the difference between steam turbine and water turbine?
The difference is that geysers are way much hotter than the steam from hot springs. The geysers can give you 3rd degree burns. But so can the steam from hot springs if you're in there to long.
