1 Executive Summary The reports shows the results of amodelled clevis assembly under tensile test of aaxial load ad afixed support. The set up and analysis are carried out in Ansys software. The highest strain and stresses are obtained around the contact regions of the assembly while the largest displacement is experienced around the loaded further element from the fixed end. The stress experienced on the pin exceeds the ultimate tensile s...
MEC 516/BME 516/AER 316 Virtual Lab 1: Measurement of Dynamic Viscosity 1. Introduction The objective of this lab is to determine the dynamic viscosity (ü) of a commercial gear oil. The viscosity will be measured at room temperature using two methods: (i) a rotational viscometer and (ii) from the terminal velocity of small spheres falling through the oil. The virtual lab consists of a video titl...

Figure 1: Car Jack Design (Souce: Merian & Kraige) All parts are made form Alloy Steel with a Young’s module of 210GN/m2, Poisson’s ratio of 0.28 and a yield strength of 620.24 MN/m2. For the configuration shown det...
Exercise RequirementsThis exercise requires you to design a pump-piping system to keep a 80, 000 m’ capacity reservoir tank filled. The tank is to be filled daily with groundwater (at 10 °C) from an aquiter which is 100 m lower than the tank, using a pipe 2200 m long. Estimated daily water use is 100, 000 m'/day, and the filling time should not exceed 8 h per day. The piping system will contain 4 butterfly valves (loes coefficient A = ...
Background InformationIntroduction Process design entails making trade-offs between competing factors and working within constraints that go beyond purely technical considerations. This is particularly true during the conceptual design stage of large projects when process engineering decisions must be made that balance economic, safety, environmental and political factors. Process design encompasses the skills of synthesis (creati...
Project Thesis Submission Requirements Two Weeks Before VIVA (Table 2)Two weeks before the project presentation (VIVA) (see table 2) the students must submit their project Thesis onto Moodle.The thesis must be complete in itself and must cover all work undertaken under the project, even if it has been previously described in weekly reflections. It should also identify the consequences of delivering this project with respect to the Engineering ...
Problem 1: Air Heating and Flow Rate DeterminationTask 1. Air enters a 30-cm diameter pipe steadily at 250 kPa and 50°C with a velocity of 7 m/s. Air is heated as it flows and leaves the pipe at 180 kPa and 40°C. Determine the following: [MO1, MO2] a. The volume flow rate of air at the inletb. The mass flow rate of airc. The velocity and volume flow rate at the exit 2. A pump increases the water pressure from 100 kPa at the inle...
Qeustion: Tasks We wish to model the dynamic temperature profile within a heating fin in order to assess how the fin responds to temperature or heat flow changes of the element, the amount of heat stored in the fin and transferred to the oil flow.Physical and system properties you will need are: • The heating fin is made of Aluminium with thermal conductivity coefficient, k = 205 W/mK, density, = 2700 kg/m3 and specific heat, cp = 910 J...
The Importance of ToothpasteIt is everywhere...Toothpaste is one thing that you will find at each home since it is one of most common products as it is responsible for the oral hygiene routine by removing the teeth decay, and to perform this task efficiently a good toothpaste has to be chosen, the choice of the proper toothpaste differs according to each person's case and preference [4]. What's in the toothpaste? Toothpastes are used mainly ...
Question: 1. The gas bill for a family shows an energy consumption over the past three months of 485 kW h. Calculate the amount of gas energy consumed by the family over this period. Give your answer in MJ If each kW h costs 13.86 pence, how much will their bill be at the end of three months? Give your answer in pounds to 2 d.p. 2. In a car crash research facility, tests are carried out on a car carrying crash test dummies and having a total m...

Simplifying the 3-D unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations(1.a) The analytical solutions of laminar flow through a circular pipe (Figure Q1a below) can be derived by solving the simplified 3-D Navier-Stokes governing equations in cylindrical form available in your lecture notes or in the general literature. All steps and explanations should be clearly detailed and shown in your work. In this question, you are required to undertake the...
Learning OutcomesThis coursework is based on the heuristic search-based path planning strategy for an autonomous agent and its corresponding control system design. These topics will be introduced to the student during the module. This coursework aims to give the student experience and insights into the workings of an autonomous system. 2. Learning Outcomes1. Critically evaluate autonomous and autonomic systems, their architectures and implemen...
Question: Mini-project 4: Heat Exchangers You’ve been tasked with analyzing a new heat exchanger system for small-scale dairy farms which pre-cools the raw milk coming from the cows before entering the larger chilled storage tank. The heat exchanger is of a shell-and-tube-type with 4 shells, and within each shell there are 22 tubes each making 2 passes. The tubes are 2 m long, with an inner diameter of 8 mm, and an outer diameter of 12 mm...
