Trouble With Talent The Trouble with Talent Are we born smart or do we get smart' This is a question that many people seem to be debating over the years. A lot of people think that the kids today are either born being a smart student and that they cannot become smart. Others may think that any child can become a smart person as long as they put their mind to it. Also, st

Watertights Doors Watertight Doors The most important engineering feat on an U. S. Naval vessel is its watertight doors. Watertight doors do not move the ship through the water, nor do they act as any sort of weapon and they really do not contribute much to the ships main mission in general, but they can be a very valuable asset when they are needed to be used for what they do. The w

304 Stainless Steels Summary Stainless steels compose one of the main groups of structural steels that we use to date. In cost, corrosion resistance, and weldability they are one of the most suitable steels for most of today’s applications. Understanding how these grades of steel are affected by welding should be considered necessary knowledge for all welding engineers. In this study,

Aswan High Dam INTRODUCTION: The livelihood and stability of Egypt `s population is directly linked to the Nile valley and delta. Although these two regions account for less then 5% of Egypt `s land surface (fig. 1), all its agriculture and water sources are concentrated in these areas (White 1988). The water sources for the Nile are the Blue Nile (originating at Ethiopian high

Cars Electric Cars Electric Cars History: Early electric vehicles may have appeared as early as 1830. Scottish inventor Robert Davidson constructed the world's first prototype electric vehicle in 1837, but historians generally credit J.K. Starley, an English inventor, and Fred M. Kimball of Boston with building the first practical electric cars in 1888. Later in the in the decade, Wi

Could The Fall Of The Towers Have Been Prevented It is a mystery that thousands of people will have to live for the rest of time. No one will ever know exactly how many people did die immediately from the impact of the plane crashes into the Twin Towers. But what happened in, and to, the stairwells will be looked at for quite some time. For the lucky 18 people who escaped from the floors

Diesel Diognostics Engine analysis is done on the generator to ensure it is operating properly and at optimum performance. A performance analysis of the number three ship service diesel generator was done aboard the T.S. Golden Bear. The indicated power for each cylinder was determined by using equation 1. From this equation we can determine how well the power is balanced across the six

Economy The current state of the economy in the United States is a feeble one, unable to consistently keep its head above water. While the economy is not currently in a recession, we may eventually fall victim to the first recession we’ve had in nearly ten years. Making a prediction on what exactly will happen to the US economy in the future will be extremely difficult. While there is

Fluid Dynamics ME 3370 Design Project I We, have worked this assignment entirely on our own and have received help from no one outside of our group. Our design consists of a piston-cylinder mechanism that expels water out to produce propulsion. A valve stem allows us to compress air in the air chamber. We will be able to find a volume of air which will maximize the expansion th

Genetic Engineering Genetic Engineering is a major issue in today’s society. Because of it, things like the Human Genome Project have become a reality. Genetic Engineering is can be defined as the manipulation or alteration of the genetic structure of a single cell or organism. This means that scientists can target a particular gene and make it whatever they want. This technique is

Engineering Description and Analysis of Case Study Support and Kalki Case Study In the description and analyzation of a case study, the study chosen was that of the customer support company Qsupport and their inquiry into a more sophisticated expert system from the developer, Kalki. Qsupport is a customer support company that is based in Bangalore, India. Personal as well as corpo

High Efficiency Cooling Fan For An Automobile High Efficiency Cooling Fan for an Automobile A cooling fan for a standard automobile provides cooling to the radiator when the forward motion of the automobile isn’t sufficient to do the job. The fan will be connected to the drive shaft of the engine by a belt. There is a bearing in the fan to allow the fan to spin freely during sudd

Pump Analysis Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate pump performance based on changes in flow rate. The optimum flow rate for the pump can also be determined. At a fixed speed, pressure difference (pump head) and brake torque in the pump are measured as the flow rate is decreased at predetermined intervals of 2 gpm. The pump’s power input, power output, and effic
