What is aileron droop? The purpose of aileron droop is to use the ailerons as wing flaps. Wing flaps increase the lift generated by the wings at low speed. By deflecting both the ailerons downwards, they change the wing camber and act like simple plain flaps. They can still act as ailerons, by normal differential […]

Whats the difference between jiggle and wiggle? A wiggle is the movement that you make with your body; a jiggle is the way something (like jelly) shakes as a result of being moved. A wiggle could cause a jiggle. What does jiggle jiggle mean? to move or cause Is jiggle a real word? verb (used […]

When should you refill your gas tank? There is more possibility of damage to the fuel pump if you run out of fuel too often. That is why I recommend filling when you reach 1/4 tank. The engine itself doesn’t really care how much fuel is in the tank, as long as there is fuel […]

How do you clear a permanent code on a Chevy? A Permanent Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is stored when a DTC is confirmed and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) has been illuminated. A Permanent DTC can only then be cleared by the module strategy and cannot be erased by clearing DTCs with a scan tool, […]

What are condition monitoring techniques? Condition monitoring to help prevent machine failure ​Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring machinery – by vibration, temperature or other methods – to identify a significant change which could indicate a developing fault. It is a major component of predictive maintenance. What are the various methods and devices for […]

How can we define a robot? Robot, any automatically operated machine that replaces human effort, though it may not resemble human beings in appearance or perform functions in a humanlike manner. By extension, robotics is the engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction, and operation of robots. Is robot a computer? Is a robot a […]

What is the process for scheduling a project? Project scheduling involves creating a document, these days usually a digital document, that details the project timeline and the organizational resources required to complete each task. The project schedule must be accessible to every team member. What is meant by scheduling in project management? Scheduling in project […]

Why the actual thermal efficiency is always less than the Carnot efficiency? So if all the heat input was converted to useful work, the engine would have an efficiency of one (100% efficient). Thus, the efficiency is always less than one. Carnot showed that the maximum efficiency of a heat engine depends only on the […]

Which of the following network cabling types provides the best resistance to EMI? Because of this shield, coax is highly resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Twinaxial cable has solid copper wires which lower transceiver latency. Twisted pair cable has two or more pairs of copper wires which are twisted and reduces attenuation and crosstalk. Which […]
