What are the advantages of steamboats?

•The steamboat was a great invention during industrialization for the increased trade. The boats were able to go through rivers against the current and get to places that would usually be impossible without waiting for the proper wind. This along with the railroad systems proved to be a series of revolutionary transportation improvements that allowed economies to thrive.

Explain why wearing loose clothing on a cold day might provide good insulation what else might be needed?

Loose clothing is better than tight clothing in that more air is trapped between your body and the insulating layer. In terms of general insulation the more porise- the more air is trapped within a material- a material is, the better an insulater it is. By creating a an area of air surrounding your body, you self-regulate that temperature twoards something more comfortable. The smaller that area of air is, the lower the required energy to heat it up will be and the air in that area will heat up quicker- but if the area is to small it does a poor job of insulation. The larger that area is, the more energy and time it takes to heat that area up... it does a better job of insulating, but the desired temperature is often unreachable preventing you from properly warming yourself. To find the best fit, most of us just layer ourselves in different amounts of clothing... but the real engineering is in that clothing where engineers analyze and test clothes so they do their job effectively.

What are the 5 kinds of lubrication systems and state clearly their application and how they function?

SPLASH The splash system is no longer used in automotive engines. It is widely used in small four-cycle engines for lawn mowers, outboard marine operation, and so on. In the splash lubricating system, oil is splashed up from the oil pan or oil trays in the lower part of the crankcase. The oil is thrown upward as droplets or fine mist and provides adequate lubrication to valve mechanisms, piston pins, cylinder walls, and piston rings. In the engine, dippers on the connecting-rod bearing caps enter the oil pan with each crankshaft revolution to produce the oil splash. A passage is drilled in each connecting rod from the dipper to the bearing to ensure lubrication. This system is too uncertain for automotive applications. One reason is that the level of oil in the crankcase will vary greatly the amount of lubrication received by the engine. A high level results in excess lubrication and oil consumption and a slightly low level results in inadequate lubrication and failure of the engine. A splash lubrication system is provided for motor vehicle transmissions and comprises an oil sump in the bottom portion of a case. The case accommodates a transmission shaft provided with gears which are immersed in the oil at least partly when the said oil sump is filled completely. In order to prevent the synchronizing mechanism from being blocked by cold and, consequently, very viscous oil in the presence of extremely low operating conditions--a condition which could lead to unsynchronized faulty gear shifting operations and, thus, damage to the transmission, the oil sump is connected with a cavity into which oil is drawn from the oil sump under low operating temperature conditions of the transmission. To this end, preferably, an expansion body is arranged in a cavity in the transmission shaft which contracts under cold conditions, and the cavity is connected. Combination Splash and Force Feed In a combination splash and force feed (fig.), oil is delivered to some parts by means of splashing and other parts through oil passages under pressure from the oil pump. The oil from the pump enters the oil galleries. From the oil galleries, it flows to the main bearings and camshaft bearings. The main bearings have oil-feed holes or grooves that feed oil into drilled passages in the crankshaft. The oil flows through these passages to the connecting rod bearings. From there, on some engines, it flows through holes drilled in the connecting rods to the piston-pin bearings. Cylinder walls are lubricated by splashing oil thrown off from the connecting-rod bearings. Some engines use small troughs under each connecting rod that are kept full by small nozzles which deliver oil under pressure from the oil pump. These oil nozzles deliver an increasingly heavy stream as speed increases. At very high speeds these oil streams are powerful enough to strike the dippers directly. This causes a much heavier splash so that adequate lubrication of the pistons and the connecting-rod bearings is provided at higher speeds. If a combination system is used on an overhead valve engine, the upper valve train is lubricated by pressure from the pump. FORCE FEED A somewhat more complete pressurization of lubrication is achieved in the force-feed lubrication system (fig.). Oil is forced by the oil pump from the crankcase to the main bearings and the camshaft bearings. Unlike the combination system the connecting-rod bearings are also fed oil under pressure from the pump. Oil passages are drilled in the crankshaft to lead oil to the connecting-rod bearings. The passages deliver oil from the main bearing journals to the rod bearing journals. In some engines, these opening are holes that line up once for every crankshaft revolution. In other engines, there are annular grooves in the main bearings through which oil can feed constantly into the hole in the crankshaft. The pressurized oil that lubricates the connecting- rod bearings goes on to lubricate the pistons and walls by squirting out through strategically drilled holes. This lubrication system is used in virtually all engines that are equipped with semi floating piston pins. Full Force Feed In a full force-feed lubrication system (fig.), the main bearings, rod bearings, camshaft bearings, and the complete valve mechanism are lubricated by oil under pressure. In addition, the full force-feed lubrication system provides lubrication under pressure to the pistons and the piston pins. This is accomplished by holes drilled the length of the connecting rod, creating an oil passage from the connecting rod bearing to the piston pin bearing. This passage not only feeds the piston pin bearings but also provides lubrication for the pistons and cylinder walls. This system is used in virtually all engines that are equipped with full-floating piston pins. kinds of Lubrication Differing widely in viscosity, specific gravity, vapor pressure, boiling point, and other properties, lubricants also offer a wide range of selection for the increasingly varied needs of modern industry. But whatever their derivation or properties, the purpose of lubricants is to replace dry friction with either thin-film or fluid-film friction, depending on the load, speed, or intermittent action of the moving parts. Thin-film lubrication, in which there is some contact between the moving parts, usually is specified where heavy loads are a factor. In fluid, or thick-film, lubrication a pressure film is formed between moving surfaces and keeps them completely apart. This type of lubrication cannot easily be maintained in high-speed machinery and therefore is used where reciprocating or oscillating conditions are moderate.

Why is timber rarely used as tensioning in structures even though it has a high tensile strength?

Wood actually has an extremely low tensile strength, especially when compared to almost any other building material.

What is field machining?

I'd say it's machining carried out "in the field".

Most machining is done in facilities specifically constructed and equipped for the work to be done. When the workpiece that requires machining cannot be transported to one of these facilities you need to bring the appropriate tools and machinery to the workpiece.

What is the difference between device and equipment?

An equipment is any laboratory experiment material which mechanically uses current like a pH meter,electric weighing machine etc while apparatus is any other laboratory experiment material which doesn't mechanically use current like thermometers ,burette ,pipette,

What techniques are used to file flat square and curved surfaces and achieve a smooth surface finish?

Techniques used to file flat square and curved surfaces to achieve a smooth surface finish, include using sweeping motions that follow the flat squares or curves to ensure the file is level. You will also need to secure the work place to ensure accuracy.

Why stress increased again after lower yield point?

hi dear, yes its true that stress increases after lower yield for ductile material. it happens due to reason of strain hardening. strain hardening is the property of the material with which the grain structures presents in the body forms bond between them. so in order to break that bonds, the stress increases after lower yield point..

What is the purpose of magnetic unloader on the air compressor?

An item designed for the purpose of unloading an air compressor at the end of a pumping operation or at any time when voltage failure occurs.

How do you make a newton scooter with a propeller?

Well first, u have to go and get a propeller off of something. Then you should go and glue a couple of pieces of popsicle sticks then get an axel and put wheels on it. Then get rubberbands to put the propeller on.

How does a ring fetter shaft coupling work?

The ring fetter is made up of 3 pieces. The outer cylinder, inner cylinder and the locking bolts. As you draw in on the locking bolts (usually caps screws) the inner and outer cylinders are squashed together locking the shaft to the bearing. To remove there are jacking bolt holes. The ring fetter is a one shot deal. the cylinders are distorted and win not seat properly again.

How do you calculate horse power of water pump?

You can approximate the horsepower capabilities of any electric motor by calculating incoming electric power. This is done by simply multiplying the rated voltage by the rated current. This will give you a unit of watts. There are about 746 watts per horsepower. Say if the motor is about 85% efficient, then incoming power will match output power minus this efficiency. Anyways, multiply incoming power by .85 and divide by 746 should give an approximate horsepower of the water pump's motor.
