A car’s wheel are 28 inches in diameter. How far (in miles) will the car travel if its wheels revolve 10000 times without slipping?

Solution: s = distance s = r θ s = 14 inches (10 000) s = 140 000 inches *convert inches to feet to meter s = 3556 meters *convert meters to miles s = 3.556 miles The car will travel 3.556 miles

Easy Power Plant Layout Design

Mechanical Engineering students must learn how to design a power plant, either be coal-fired or hydro, nuclear or any other steam running turbine. Firstly, the location. Knowing and researching on what your location can offer is very crucial. Then, the specific area of your plant must be displayed, if need to relocate houses or commercial building. I suggest, choose a location where you can avoid these problem. And of course, roads or port for easy transport of your raw materials like coal and bunker fuels. After determing your specific land area. You are now ready to design where to put what. I suggest for easy design of your plant layout - first assign where you want to put your road system within your plant, this makes it much better to maximize your land area and you can easily change your road instead of buildings.

The Biggest Challenges to Face as a Fresh Graduate Mechanical Engineer

All newly graduate engineers face the same kind of challenges - not knowing what and how to apply the theories we learn from our studies. Practically, students of mechanical engineering have the theoretical knowledge and of course, the principles and laws anchored onto the industry it represents. However, not all students have the actual practice experience or haven’t yet applied the principles on real time basis. What I'm saying is that - it carries a big challenge knowing the concept of things but not knowing what parts to use or which is which. And as a fresh grad, it is understandable and may be relatable to your manager. One advise, try to learn the actual practice of things you've learned at school to every machine or system you encountered discreetly. Cheers! Congratulations!

The Best Country for Mechanical Engineers

All areas of engineering on today's generation are on demand! More to mechanical engineers, because of the industry's demand on factories and facilities that ease people's lives. But for one to choose the best country for mechanical engineers, here's my opinion on that. Every industrialized or any developing country needs every bit of mechanical engineers. When a country's focus target is to build their own industries to somehow rise their status or to help their citizens, factories will be made or buildings, and roads. Thus, not only mechanical engineers, but also all kind of engineers will be on demand. On this era, as what we can observe, i would suggest the UAE. But - but, if your own country is in need of mechabical engineers, i would really suggest to practice your expertise to yout own land - this help your nation and there will be a sense of pride to aid your own people.

Notes for Mechanical Engineering Students

Hello there fellow Mechanical Engineering students! It took a long while to conjure this courage of mine to take up blogging my review for the Mechanical Engineering Board Exam. I am taking my time slowly on my review, I am taking it easy at the moment. But of course, we all need to focus, this review is not easy, especially for me. I am not the genius type, and to be honest - I always feel tired when thinking about "reviewing". But I need to man up! This review won't study itself. So follow me on my quest, on my reviews. I will try to publish every lesson I understand, this way I can share my thought and if you like, you can also give advises - which I would really like if you do. Now, let us begin to know which is which and what are the subject or the courses I need to study: The Mechanical Board exam comprises of 3 major parts: 1. Power and Industrial Plant Engineering - this holds 35%      i. Power Plant Engineering   ...

Fluid Mechanics Introduction

"Fluid mechanics is the science of the mechanics of liquids and gases and is based on the same fundamental principles used in mechanics of fluids statistics, kinematics and fluid dynamics. " Well, here we go! The study of FLUIDS! Fluid mechanics deals with the properties and of course the mechanics of fluids. When I was studying the introduction of this subject matter. I, I mean all of us in the classroom were amazed, including our professor - you should have seen his reaction when he told us that Fluids includes GASES! We were all bewildered at that moment, how can gases be fluids? Are gases liquids? Are liquids gases? Talking nonsense we were, but I need to explain to you my readers why were we so shocked by our new found knowledge. Back on our elementary and high school days, we often thought of 3 phases of matter - 1 solids (where all the atoms are compacted to form solids), 2 liquids ( here, the atoms are a bit farther apart from each other), and 3 the ga...
