The fourth source of self-efficacy beliefs is emotionalarousal. Emotional arousal, that happens during challenging situations, can also help peopleinform themselves of their expectations of self-efficacy. High levels of emotional arousal canhamper an individual’s performance by increasing anxiety and stress.3.

AllCFD simulations for design 1 used an input fluid velocity of 9.8 ft/s and an output ofenvironmental pressure. Simulations were made using water as the fluid passing through thevalve. Fifty flow lines were used at the entrance of each simulation. The simulation results,shown in Figure 2, concluded that there was a great flow through the complex geometry of thechannel. The advantage of first simulating the design is that there is a higher chance of successand predictability when fabricated. Figure 2: CFD simulation results using SolidWorks Flow

ML leverages labeled data tobuild models for predicting labels on unlabeled data. DL relies on extensive unlabeled datasets touncover underlying patterns within the dataset. On the other hand, knowledge-based modelingand simulation (M&S) techniques utilize known models to generate data for the analysis of newand existing designs. M&S works well for simple systems but becomes increasingly difficult formore complex systems. The difficulty comes from the uncertainties associated with each addedvariable being modeled.
