During the lab student designed heatexchangers were attached to an evaporative cooler which was running with saltwater asopposed to freshwater. In the evaporative cooler air is blown through a membrane whichwas wetted with the saltwater causing water vapor to evaporate and the air temperature todecrease. This moist air then traveled over a heat exchanger through which

(c) Should heat be transferred in or out of the cylinder during this process?Exercise 2: Now we’ll charge the cylinder and use it to lift a 20 lb weight. The accumulator actslike a capacitor, storing energy for us until we need it. First, we’ll charge the cylinder to ___ psig(will be around 85 psig). Then we’ll attach the tube to the piston cylinder lower port. A valveinitially separates the accumulator from the piston cylinder. (a) How much

The external forces / torques acting are the servo-motor torque τ, the sliderfriction force Ff, and the external force Fe. It is a special case of the four-bar linkage where onecrank is infinite in length, such that its end point (point B) has rectilinear motion. It is a one-degree-of-freedom system, as only one coordinate is needed to completely describe its motion.The constraint equation relating angles θ and φ

, debugging, and software training. Acourse in programming can be challenging for many students choosing to major in mechanicalengineering. The major attracts students with diverse backgrounds and a wide variety ofacademic interests. It is uncommon for students to choose to study mechanical engineeringbecause of their interest in programming or modeling. This often leads to a disconnect betweenthe students and the instructor, which can create an intimidating classroom environment. Thework presented here is driven by these findings.A new programming course has been developed to address the problems existing in the originalcourse model, which include: (a) the course being offered outside of an engineering department,(b) the extreme variability in the

Once the kinematic model ofthe car suspension system has been built up in the FOURBAR program, the model is simulatedto determine the suspension kinematics and view the path of the instant center over some rangeof motion to provide a clear picture of the behavior of the coupler link. Also, the motionparameters can be easily changed to visualize such output motions as displacement, velocity andacceleration in

Meeting all of the objectives results in a score of 90%, which is the line between an “A” and a “B” at Grove City College. • Students are required to do excellent work and exceed their objectives if they want to achieve an “A”. • Students are likely to miss an objective or two, especially if the objectives are aggressive.Required Objectives Score= [(a x 100)+(b x 90)+(c x 75)+(d x 40)]/4 where: a = #Exceeded b
