Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is a branch of engineering that encompasses the generation and application of heat and mechanical power and the design, production, and use of machines and tools. Mechanical engineering involves application of the principles of dynamics, control, thermodynamics and heat transfer, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, materials science, electronics, and mathematics.

Are Filaz the shoes machine washable?

they are not washable,because that would ruin the Filaz shoes.

What is the Whitehead Paradox?

The attempt to expand the solution in powers of Ryenold's number leads to a situation in which it is impossible to satisfy the boundary conditions at infinity for all terms, except the leading one. This is a common mathematical problem which occurs for all uniform flows past finite bodies

What instrument measures spark plug temperatures under running conditions?

specially assembled thermocouple spark plugs are used to accurately determine spark plug temperatures during actual engine operation

Drum of a photocopying machine of length 42cm and radius 6cmfind charge?

That's not enough information to find the charge. You can find out the surface area with that information, but to actually know the charge, you would also need to know how much charge is stored per unit area.

How can you calculate the mechanical advantage of a toggle joint Show the derivations please?

Get a Machine Design or Kinematics book, but you must write the vector loop equations for all links in the mechanism.

What are the physical surrounding's work hour's and mental and physical demand for a welder?

i am in norther bc canada working as a utility welder, it is my first year because im just an apprentace. but i have heard it can be pretty cold and as long as we can pre heat something we can weld it so we can be working in like -20 and that gets pretty cold, cuz if its colder we wont have to work. but most welding jobs are in a shop where its warm and when you welding it warms you up pretty good anyways. just try to move around alot and youll stay nice and toasty.

What is the meaning of end suction of pump?

A single suction pump

having its suction nozzle on the

opposite side of the casing from the stuffing box and having the face of the suction nozzle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft

What is the first dimension?

In its simplest form: a line describes one dimension, a plane describes two dimensions, and a cube describes three dimensions.

What is AISI Standard?

AISI the American Iron and Steel Institute has established standards for steel compositions. The last 2 digits are the carbon content (usually) and the first digit or 2 digits are the series designation (eg: stainless steel, high carbon, low carbon, high alloy ect).

What are the hazards associated with unfired pressure vessels?

An unfired pressure vessel is a container that holds a substance at high pressure, but is not heated from an external heat supply. This might be a pressure tank, such as an air tank. These hold a great deal of mechanical energy, depending on the operating pressures. IF the tank is over pressurized, or fails due to corrosion, damage, etc, the energy contained in the pressurized contents is all released at once, tearing the tank apart, injuring people in the area, and damaging property nearby. One spectacular failure of a liquid nitrogen tank in a university lab cracked the concrete floor, blew tile off the floor in a 20 ft circle (embedding tile into the walls) and blew the tank through the upper floors of the lab into the penthouse, destroying the water pipes for the building.

What is the difference between passing an array and passing single value data to a function?

Passing a single value to a function is often just a simple integer. But passing an array, character string or other data structure is typically "pass by reference", or in other words, the calling statement will 'point to' the place in memory where the data structure resides.
When a function is called using a pointer to a data structure, both the calling environment and the called function are referencing the same data; any changes made to the data in the structure by the function will have changed the data that the original calling environment sees.
However, when a value is passed to a function, the function creates it's own copy of the value, and can change it in any way without changing the original value.

Can a jumbo jet glide?

They aren't really designed for it, but they can to some extent. Better than, say, a brick, or even a helicopter.

The appropriate heat treatment for An internally splined flange for a helicopter drive shaft?

Depends on what material properties you want out of the metal and what metal you have. Assuming it is aluminum, I'd guess a T6 (which would provide strength and ductility), but there isn't enough information here answer the question.

Disadvantages of shell and tube heat exchanger?

it is difficult to remove the scales.

we cannot use scale forming fluid through the shell because if we pass, the scales are formed and it corrodes the shell.

Where do you get cast iron from?

A plumbing supply that sells XHCI uncoated or NHCI

Dandong Foundry in China could supply various cast iron castings and products. Many of their castings are exported to USA, Germany, Italy, Japan and other countries.

What is the material used for tac welding?

Tac welding is not a specific material. Tac welding is a form of welding, that welder's use in order to hold two pieces' of metal together to get a proper fit. The tac weld can be easily broken if the two pieces' of metal aren't in the right place. So if you tac weld anything, the filler is going to be whatever material you are welding.

What is the accuracy of the investment casting process for steel?

There are two main controlling factors in this process

When an investment casting sets it generally shrinks upto a few millimetres from its cast size. Depending on the complexity of the component being made more advanced machinery or more skilled die makers may be required to produce the required shape. In a premium casting upto 1/8 of a millimetre is attainable- to achieve this however there will high set up costs due to the following items. When designing the die to accomodate for post-cast shrinkage the number and complexity of calculations and simulations will be large. The cost and machining time for the die cutting, and the cost of the materials involved will be much higher. The die will require a long post-process, both before production commences and between batches to maintain die consistency and quality. For a commercial standard casting this tolerance will be around +/- 0.5mm depending on the complexity of shape. On the lowest budget this can grow to as high as +/- 2mm. All the above applies for castings <0.5kg.

What is a turbine pump and how does it work?

A turbine pump is nothing but a centrifugal pump. It is used for pumping water from deep water bodies to water distribution systems.
