Theory and Operation
1. Black Direct Acting Pressure Relief Valve
This lab is used to analyze the action of various values by disassembling and assembling. This valve is used to describe its action in the hydraulic circuits.

Action of Black Direct Acting Pressure Release Value

The relief valve acts as the fuse or circuit breaker in an electric circuit. An electric circuit blows a fuse unless it overloads. The hydraulic circuits allow the relief value to dump. Protecting the pump from the excess pressure is the main function of a relief valve. The direct acting relief value responds quickly to the pressure tries to go and observe ...

Demand refers to the quantity of a commodity a consumer is willing to purchase under different conditions. The demand for a commodity depends on a number of factors like the price of the commodity, income of the consumer, the price of substitute commodities, the price of complements, the preference for the good by the consumers, fashion trends, seasonality, and such others. Therefore, the demand function can be written as:
QD = F(P, Y, PS, PC, T, O)

Where, QD: Quantity demanded

P: Price of the commodity
PS: Price of the Substitute commodity
PC: Price of the complementary commodity
T: Consumers’ tastes and preferences

It has been long since Saudi Arabian women are fully deliberated and the discrimination laid upon them discarded. The historic bias that has been in existence for years against women due to dictation by the local community setting still holds in Saudi Arabia. One of the commonly debated issues is about Saudi women driving. Saudi women recently launched a campaign that is currently hitting the news headlines against the government ban for them to drive (McDowall, 2013 P 3).
It is however, clear that it is not all the Saudi people are in support of this discriminatory act. Citizens ...

Introduction

Police Discretion is exceptionally significant in the Criminal Justice system. It is the capacity of a police officer to make a decision out of a situation based on various circumstances. Police officers are adequately trained on how to respond to situations they may encounter while in the course of executing their routine duties. Sometimes while in the field, they may face a problem which does not fall under their training, and, thus compelled to deal with such a situation. It is not possible for the training to cover every aspect a police officer encounters in the line of duty. Laws do not cross over to ...

The price of houses varies due to various factors.

Multi-driver speaker systems require ‘Crossovers’ as their subsystems and are primarily used for the separation of input signal on the basis of driver into various different frequency ranges. The power which is received by the drivers is only in their usable frequency range and therefore the distortion which is caused in the drivers can be reduced with the use of crossovers. Crossovers are only helpful in order to minimize the distortion and it is not possible to completely block at the passband edges, similarly amplitude variation and face changes also cannot be completely restricted.
Crossovers are primarily of ...

A car driving simulator is basically a software product that can be used by anyone who wants to experience simulated driving. That is, driving a car via a computer or a particular controller instead of a car’s steering wheel (Blaauw, 2002). As of now, many software developing companies have launched different simulation software products that are readily available for everyone but very few to none of these companies have come up with an idea to simulate a car driving experience. The objective of this paper is to outline the different requirements to build and operate a car driving simulator. It covers the intended usage, hardware & ...

I learned a lot regarding disk imaging using macrium reflect. Disk imaging is like looking yourself at the mirror where everything is copied to your image including the operating systems and other system files and together with your data files. However, when creating a disk image, you cannot use the same drive as the one you are backing up so you need data storage for your back-up which should be at least as big as the total file size of the drive you are imaging since it is copying everything.

An advantage of this from viewpoint is that you’ll not ...

Hooning Behavior

Hooning behavior refers to the behavior of drivers who drive in an anti-social manner with reference to the standards set for the contemporary society. It entails the use of a vehicle in an irresponsible manner, which is hazardous especially in public places. The severity of hooning behaviors is assessed on the impact that a particular behavior has on the people involved. In fatal cases, hooning behavior can lead to the loss of lives not only to the driver in question but also to other road users. Due to its prevalence, many people consider hooning behavior an international problem. Owing to this, ...

Road Trains, or ‘vehicle platooning’ is a design predicted to change traditional motorway driving for the better. Improving on fuel consumption and road safety, this new technology could be in production within the next five years.

Abstract
The Brooklyn Bridge is probably underappreciated by most of the people who use it today but it is still an example of great engineering. The chief engineer, Roebling, designed a suspension bridge that was fifty percent longer than any other suspension bridge of the times. His design for weighting of the bridge to keep it stable when there was wind is a very important lesson for today’s suspension bridge designers. The health and safety issues of the height of the bridge and the use of the Caisson boxes have been discussed. The approximately 27 deaths that took place ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...

Introduction

Numerous electrical applications require an inverter, which converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) power. Some of these applications require the stepping down of voltage levels when realizing this conversion, which signifies that the input DC power is greater than the AC power. Conversely, certain applications require the opposite: to step up voltage when performing the power conversion, which means that the input DC power is lower than the AC power. These requirements can be met through the use of Voltage Source Inverters and Current Source Inverters, respectively. However, some particular applications require to step down voltage for ...

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics
Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion
Energy Source
The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

Use of Fossil Fuels for Power Generation and the Need for Renewable Energy

According to Nelson (2011), more than 85% of the world’s energy consumption, which is estimated at 520 exajoules, is generated through the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal (p.19). Electric power generation from non-renewable sources will, unequivocally, result in their exhaustion and creation of a major energy crisis. For this reason, it appears primordial to shift in a greater scale to alternate power generation, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, etc. Amongst these, Sorensen (2011) explains that though hydroelectric power does represent one of the major forms of power generation, its growth is stagnant ...
