What metal is used for turbine blades? Nickel alloys What is the hottest part of a turbine engine? The engine exterior and the engine nacelle are cooled by passing fan air around the engine and the nacelle. The engine compartment frequently is divided into two sections. The forward section is referred to as the cold […]

What are examples of universal design? Things like curb cuts, large, color contrasting fonts, and sloped entrances are all examples of universal design. – Include Disability Services staff/students with disabilities on planning boards. What are the 7 universal design principles? The 7 Principles Principle 1: Equitable Use. Principle 2: Flexibility in Use. Principle 3: Simple […]

What is the resolution of 8-bit ADC? An ADC generates a digital output that’s proportional to the ratio of the input voltage to the input range. The resolution (Δ or least significant bit) is this range divided by the total number of possible steps. For example, an 8-bit ADC with a 2.048-V input range has […]

How do you calculate gearbox torque? The torque is calculated as follows: Obtain load F of the meshing point (at the radius of the pitch circle of Gear A) of the input torque. Obtain torque of the output side from load F of the teeth’s meshing point (radius of the pitch circle of Gear B). […]

What do you call the machine that cuts off heads? A guillotine (/ˈɡɪlətiːn/ GHIL-ə-teen, also US: /ˈɡiːətiːn/ GHEE-, French: [ɡijɔtin] ( listen)) is an apparatus designed for efficiently carrying out executions by beheading. The device consists of a tall, upright frame with a weighted and angled blade suspended at the top. What is a guillotine […]

What object has a net force of zero acting on it? The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. When an object is in equilibrium (either at rest or moving with constant velocity), the net force acting on it zero. A vector can only have zero magnitude if […]

How much CO2 do coal plants emit? 300 Billion Tons How much CO2 is produced per kWh from a coal power plant? 915 grams What percent of CO2 comes from power plants? In 2019, power plants that burned coal, natural gas, and petroleum fuels were the source of about 62% of total U.S. electricity generation, […]

How does Net Force affect speed? If an object has a net force acting on it, it will accelerate. The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. An unbalanced force is an unopposed force that causes a […]

How do you find the electric field using Gauss law? The electric field coming out of the center of the ball penetrates perpendicular to the surface of the sphere so that the formula of electric flux is Φ = E A = E 4π r2. The formula of Gauss’s law is Φ = Q/εo. How […]

Can you take the fundamentals of engineering exam without a degree? All states use the examinations prepared by the NCEES. When can I take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination? A few states permit individuals without degrees who have four or more years of engineering experience to take the fundamentals of engineering examination. Can you […]
