What Is an Internal Combustion Engine? An engine in which the chemical energy of the fuel is released inside the engine and is converted into mechanical work can be defined as an internal combustion engine (Ferguson and Kirkpatrick 2015). How It Works An increase in...

Science is important for us humans because it simplifies our universe into terms and numbers that we can understand, describe and use to our benefit. In a way, it makes it not too big and vague – not too difficult or impossible. As long as...

Having been raised up in an academic teaching environment by my parents, who are mathematics teachers, as well as my early fondness for explaining intellectual concepts to my classmates through elementary school, had founded an immense desire in my character to be a professor after...

From an early age I have enjoyed partaking in the sciences at school. I furthered this by studying them at an advanced level. I would like to study Petroleum engineering specializing in Reservoir Engineering if possible. My interest in natural resources developed when I came...

Mistakes are merely a part of a human’s everyday life. In the engineering profession, every single move and foolish decisions made can cause life-changing results if something does not meet the proper standards. The Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine was a prime example of standard breeches,...

From a very young age, I had aspirations of becoming an engineer, because I wanted to build machines that did not require direct human energy inputs to operate. I achieved this for the first time a few weeks later, designing a vehicle that carried its...

This report deals with the communication issues that have or currently occurred between engineers and the public. Good communication between the engineer and the public is essential in the future to help promote and develop the world. Engineers need to particularly realise how important this...

Diesel In a diesel engine, there is no need to ignite the fuel via a spark plug, in fact, the fuel is ignited due to the heat and friction of the engine, grid heaters and block heaters help achieve high temperatures for co bustion during...

Engineering is arguably one of the most important professions in the world. Engineers create the bridges society uses everyday to get from place to place, engineers create the cars society uses to cross those bridges and engineers are even the reason why society can power...

Summary Drinking water was supplied by WESSEX Water to 2000 new houses in Poundbury. Pipes of 350mm diameter with dimensions 200 x 290 x 280 in the Armstrong power series arrangement were used at a cost of ВЈ7, 503, 927 for both gravitational and pumping...

In each of the product, 70 % of element in consumer product is represent by mould manufacturing. It is essential in all industry [4]. The obstacle in mould manufacturing are the increase of request for great dimensionality, expeditious changes of the design , smaller construction...

Engineers are innovators of the future. They are most often the people who solve the hardest problems in our society in an attempt to bring us into a newer age. It doesn’t necessarily take a degree in Engineering or Computer Science to be an engineer....

This report contains information about my course project called “Controlling level of liquid in the horizontal tank”. This control system is designed in the TIA portal which integrates Simatic Step 7 for PLC programming and WinCC for Human Machine Interface. Firstly, I will explain the...

I am currently a student at Chellaston Academy studying Maths, Physics and Computer Science. As a person, I am extremely motivated, self-disciplined and a dedicated learner; I can undertake any obstacle in a wide range of situations, which combines excellent communication and management skills. I...

Engineering is the application of scientific knowledge and mathematical methods to practical purposes of the design, construction or operation of structures, machines, or systems. The discipline of engineering encompasses a range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular...

Introduction With the increasing demand for electricity in this global world to access more luxurious lives and further, the industrial dependency on scarce natural resources for energy production has led this world to a chaos of global warming. Many historians believe that it was the...

Software Engineering is writing and designing programs for electronic devices, especially for computers. As a part of the engineering field, it does a great job to make lives of humans easier. In the modern world, humans can’t live without computers and computers cannot work without...

Pressure Sensors are very essential, and are used in various fields such as aerospace, barometry, industries, automobiles, medical, etc. Carbon nanotube is one of the materials used to design the pressure sensor with the suitable substrate material such as silicon used for a certain application....

Executive Summary In this paper, I will discuss about the incident at Morales. I will identify some ethical, technical, and economical issues. I will also identify the stakeholders and some social and political constraint on some solutions. Finally, I will state some alternate actions and...

Earthquake-proof Buildings After the massive earthquake near Japan one wonders if it’s possible to build an earthquake-proof building? The answer is yes and no. There are of course, engineering techniques that can be used to create a very sound structure that will endure a modest...

Offshore Engineering is that branch of Engineering that deals with the designing and construction of the structures amidst the oceans. These structures are to be in stationary position and must be able to resist the extreme weather conditions in an Ocean Environment. The atmosphere that...

After the first robotic prototype, robotic machines gained massive publicity paving the way for the adoption of robotic machines in industries and workplaces. After a few decades, the robotics revolution – propelled by advanced and progressive development in computing power and artificial intelligence – witnessed...
