Calculate the number of expected dimensionless parameters (π groups), in the problem: k = (n - j) 5. Identify the repeating parameters that has one of the units. Avoid choosing dependent or independent variables as repeating parameters (such as x, r, t, etc, in heat transfer problems). 6. At each step choose one of the repeating parameters to eliminate one of the units.The following shows the steps taken in obtaining the dimensionless parameters for Example 6,using the functional replacement method. 1.

Although, working with an education student has shown me ways that an engineerlike myself would have never done.

Engineering guides from the major bearing vendors containextensive information on proper mounting, allowable loads, and load types, sealing andlubrication, and allowable environment. In practice, engineers use these guides to learn thedetails involved in selection and application of roller bearings. The author contends thateffective use of vendor-supplied engineering guides is a significant skill in engineering practice,in addition to the fundamentals of Machine Design, and is a big missing piece in many curricula.Since the 1950’s, a

Frame et al.’s solution was to include usage of PLM softwarethroughout the undergraduate program of study however, this solution is unable to provide thecontinuity of following a singular product. Another approach is the formation of anextracurricular project group focused on providing undergraduate students with hands-onexperiences using PLM tools in a structured environment that simulates a typical industrialutilization paradigm through providing employee roles, structured workflows, collaborativeprojects, and formalized review processes.
