Spectrophotometer Analysis This experiment involved the use of a spectrophotometer and solution mixed by us in the laboratory. The spectrophotometer was used to analyze the speed of the reaction taking place in the sample through the use of light. A solution called guiacol was used because its reactivity with oxygen causes it to turn a brown color adding pigmentation to the solution. (Ja

Strengt Testing Compressive & Tensile Strength Testing OBJECTIVE Our purpose to determine some mechanical properties (compressive and tensile strength) of steel bar and concrete. 1- TENSILE STRENGTH TESTING INTRODUCTION There is as yet no standard test for directly determining tensile strength. However there are two common methods for estimating tensile strength throug

Stepping Motor Construction Stepping motors are electromagnetic, rotary, incremental devices which convert digital pulses into mechanical rotation. The amount of rotation is directly proportional to the number of pulses and the speed of rotation is relative to the frequency of those pulses. Stepping motors are simple to drive in an open loop Static or holding torque - displacement

Corwin Framework for Evaluation and Management of a Project This framework is designed to aid in project planning/development, management, and evaluation and is considered a living document.

Recycled Concrete INTRODUCTION Nothing lasts forever. The same is true for concrete. Trouble with this rubble is that it can't be compacted, and it doesn't decompose. Putting waste to work is not a new concept. Reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering waste has become and everyday occurrence. Nearly a half a billion tons of waste every year, approximately eight pounds (3.6 ki

Rotary Vs. Piston Engine Nearly every car ever made uses one form of a four-cycle reciprocating engine. As with any engineering design the reciprocating engine has certain pro and cons. The rotary engine provides an alternative to the reciprocating engine while being similar enough to use much of the same mechanical principles. The purpose of any combustion engine is to create power

Experience My artistic experience was reading an art magazine. I read The Artist's Magazine. This magazine talks about techniques for making art. The magazine talks about different techniques for painting portraits. The magazine talks about different styles and describes how they can be easily implemented in ones paintings.

Temperature Measurements Scope: The purpose of this lab was to become familiar with the construction of temperature sensors and to test their behavior under steady-state conditions. Type-T thermocouples were built with a single junction and single reference junction. The thermocouple was built by the students and voltage readings were taken during varying water temperature. Conclusion

Dryer II. Problem Statement We have been using a high cost desiccant in our facility to remove water from an air stream. Someone has suggested that we test “kitty litter” and a different desiccant as potential replacements. However, these materials, although cheaper than the current mole sieve material, are not so inexpensive that we can simply discard them when they become saturate

Where Did All The Yams Go' What About All Those Yams' After all those stories and discussions about yams, I was curious to see what exactly Nigerians eat. As an agricultural society, most of their food comes from farming. They do have meat, but yams are the main food component of their diet. Most Nigerians eat a light breakfast and have their main meal in the late afternoon (Chrone

Genetic Engineering Genetic Engineering: A leap in to the future or a leap towards destruction' Introduction Science is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from an analytical engine, to a calculator, to a computer. However, science, in the past, has alw

HNC Report As part of my HNC I was asked to Design, Manufacture and Test a circuit that would control both traffic lights and motor situated on a model of the Kincardine Bridge. The specification I was given was that the circuit board could be no bigger than 100 x 160mm and could cost no more than £50.
