  • Scales Types of Scales Civil Engineering Scale
    Scales • The purpose of scales is to allow an engineer, architect, technician or contractor to determine scaled measurements from drawings or maps very quickly and easily. • Drawings and maps are drawn to different scales such as: 1” = 100’, 1” = 1’-0” or 1:2 (half size). Types of Scales Civil Engineering Scale 1 Architect’s Scale Metric Scale 2 Civil Engineer’s Scale • Full Divided Scale • 1” is divided into equal decimal units of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80 divisions. • For example, 1” = 100’ is a typical scale used for Civil Engineering Drawings. This means that 1” on the drawing represents 100’ in the real world. Scale & Size • 10 scale represents full size in decimal inches. 1” on paper represents 1” in real life. Hence the name “full size”. • 20 scale represents half scale where 1” on a drawing represents 2” in real life. • 40 scale represents quarter size where 1” on a drawing represents 4” in real life. 3 Applications • Civil Engineers typically design large things such as, bridges, roads, buildings, shopping centers etc. Therefore typical scales used include: 1” = 100’ for plan views of highway designs and 1” = 5’ vertical and 1” = 100’ horizontal for profile views. Section views are typically 1” = 5’ vertical and 1” = 10’ horizontal. Other Applications • Sometimes scales are used to compute quantities based on a graphical analysis. When this is the case units of measurement other than length are often used. Examples include: • 1” = 10 kips, 1” = 2000 volts, 1” = 50 buses, 1” = 20 GHz and 1” = 40 people. • Always remember that your answer will be recorded in a decimal format for the CE scale.

  • MSME with Depth in Fluid Mechanics
    MSME with depth in Fluid Mechanics The primary areas of fluid mechanics research at Michigan State University's Mechanical Engineering program are in developing computational methods for the prediction of complex flows, in devising experimental methods of measurement, and in applying them to improve understanding of fluid-flow phenomena. Theoretical fluid dynamics courses provide a foundation for this research as well as for related studies in areas such as combustion, heat transfer, thermal power engineering, materials processing, bioengineering and in aspects of manufacturing engineering. MS Track for Fluid Mechanics The MSME degree program for fluid mechanics is based around two graduate-level foundation courses offered through the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME). These courses are ME 830 Fluid Mechanics I Fall ME 840 Computational Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer Spring The ME 830 course is the basic graduate level course in the continuum theory of fluid mechanics that all students should take. In the ME 840 course, the theoretical understanding gained in ME 830 is supplemented with material on numerical methods, discretization of equations, and stability constraints appropriate for developing and using computational methods of solution to fluid mechanics and convective heat transfer problems. Students augment these courses with additional courses in fluid mechanics and satisfy breadth requirements by selecting courses in the areas of Thermal Sciences, Mechanical and Dynamical Systems, and Solid and Structural Mechanics. Graduate Course and Research Topics (Profs. Benard, Brereton, Jaberi, Koochesfahani, Naguib) ExperimentalResearch Many fluid flow phenomena are too complicated to be understood fully or predicted accurately by either theory or computational methods. Sometimes the boundary conditions of real-world problems cannot be analyzed accurately.

Dragados, 2003. History of construction: An estimable resource in the actual crisis of civil engineering? Wemer Lorenz RISE AND DECLINE -A FIVE-MINUTE HISTORY OF THE CIVIL ENGINEER In the year 1762, the librarian of the Roman cardinal Albani, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, born in the North German town of Stendal, published a pamphlet titled «Anmerkungen über die Baukunst der alten Tempel zu Girgenti in Sizilien» (Remarks on the Architecture of the 01d Temples at Girgenti in Sicily) (Winckelmann 1762). In no time, this publication became the manifesto of the young neo-c1assicist movement in Europe. Evaluating his own systematic research of antique architecture, Winckelmann ca11s it the most appropriate model for any form of architecture, inc1uding contemporary. He distinguishes c1early between the «Wesentliche» (essential) and the «ZierJichkeit in der Baukunst» (daintiness of architecture). The c1ear distinction signifies an abrupt turning away from the previous baroque perception of architecture. The concept of the «essential» introduces construction as a defining parameter into architectural theory. According to Winckelmann architecture results primarily from constructive considerations. Noteworthy also is the context of his publication. Only a few years prior, in an Italian publication from 1748, one can find the term «inginiero civile» and in 1768, the term civil engineer is used for the first time in England, where the first «Society of Civil Engineers of the Kingdom» is founded in 1771.

ISBN 978-88-95608-68-6; ISSN 2283-9216 DOI: 10.3303/CET1871083 Engineering Management and Cost Control of Petrochemical Projects Jingjing Song, Zhiwei Helian* School of Economics and Management, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China [email protected] With the increasing developing of petrochemical engineering construction market, China has accumulated rich experience in project engineering management and cost control, but has not yet established a complete cost control performance evaluation system, and the traditional project cost control method has been unable to meet the cost requirements under the new project management environment. For this, this paper studies the engineering management and cost control system theory of petrochemical projects, and builds one petrochemical project cost control system. The analysis results show that mature project management mode has been increasingly applied in petrochemical projects. The construction of the engineering cost control early warning system can achieve the objective of cost control. The related cost control performance evaluation system can greatly improve the actual engineering cost control level and realize the quantification and standardization of cost control performance evaluation. 1. Introduction Petrochemical projects involve various fields in the country such as import and export, labour, capital, and economic politics (Liu et al., 2018; Bovsunovskaya, 2016). In terms of project management, due to different climatic conditions, technical standards and backgrounds of different countries, the management of engineering projects is faced with great challenges (Willems and Vanhoucke, 2015).

  • Air Compressors
    Brown Hills College of Engineering & Technology Energy Conversion UNIT – 7 Air Compressors Working of a single stage reciprocating air compressor, Calculation of work input, Volumetric efficiency, Isothermal efficiency, Advantages of multi stage compression, Two stage compressor with- Inter-cooling, Perfect Inter cooling, Optimum intercooler pressure. Introduction : It is a mechanical component (machine) to compress the air with raise its pressure. The air compressor sucks air from the atmosphere and compresses it then further delivers with a high pressure to a storage vessel. From the storage vessel, it may be transmit by the channel (pipeline) to a place where the supply of compressed air is required. Afterward the compression of air requires some work to be done on it; therefore a compressor must be driven by some prime mover. Application of Air Compressor : It is used for operating pneumatic drills, riveters, road drills, paint spraying, in starting and supercharging of internal combustion engines, in gas turbine plants, jet engines and air motors, etc. It is also employ in the operation of lifts, rams, pumps etc. Classification of Air Compressors : 1. According to working : 2. According to action : 3. According to number of stages : • Reciprocating compressors • Single acting compressors • Single stage compressors • Rotary compressors • Double acting compressors • Multi-stage compressors Important Definitions : 1. Inlet pressure: It is the absolute pressure of air at the inlet of a compressor. 2. Discharge pressure: It is the absolute pressure of air at the outlet of a compressor. 3. Compression ratio (or pressure ratio): It is the ratio of discharge pressure to the inlet pressure. Since the discharge pressure is always more than the inlet pressure, therefore the value of compression ratio is more than unity.
