INTRODUCTION: Engineering drawings are often referred to as “Blueprints” . However, the terms are becoming an anachronism since most copies of engineering drawings that were made using a chemical-printing process that yielded graphics on blue-coloured paper or of blue-lines on have been superseded by more modern reproduction processes that yield black or multicolour lines on…
Introduction Leonardo da Vinci is a famous polymath renowned for his painting s of the last supper and the Mona Lisa. Leonardo da Vinci was a talented inventor creating many creations that we use today from the helicopter to parachutes and more. Not much is known about Leonardo da Vinci’s life he was born on…
Introduction Electricity has become very useful and has changed everyone’s life since the day it was discovered. What is Conductivity? What is Resistance? What is the best conductor of electricity? What is Nichrome Wire? There are many factors that influence the electrical resistance in wires, going through a current in circuits. The length of the…
Introduction The telescope’s invention is often pegged in 1608 with the award of a patent to Lippershey by the States-General, the name for parliament in the Netherlands. However, an Englishman, Thomas Harriott constructed an early, low-power version of the telescope and used it in August 1609 to observe the Moon, at the same time when…
Introduction This Term Paper is about topic “Wheatstone Bridge”. A Wheatstone bridge is a device which is used to find the unknown resisitance. It is an instrument or a circuit consisting of four resistors or their equivalent in series which is used to determine the value of an unknown resistance when the other three resistances…
Venturi & Orifice Meter INTRODUCTION As we learned in the Impact Jet lab, the speed of a moving jet of water is proportional to the water’s velocity. This is evident in a turbine flow meter, where the impact force of the water on the blades sets the rotor in motion. Once there is a steady…
Introduction Ignition Timing: as applied to the spark ignition engines (petrol engines) is a process of setting the time at which the spark plug should fire in the combustion chamber during the compression with respect to the piston position and the crankshaft angular velocity. The spark plug should fire before TDC and the flame should…
