Try mechanical engineering design
In this virtual tour you will understand how a mechanical engineer designs products by working on similar engineering assignments.
Note: Assignments are quite simplified compared to real work so that high school students can solve them
Pre-requisites
Understanding of below concepts and equations (wherever mentioned) is required
Pascal’s law
Friction force
Torque
Stress
Pascal’s law
Pascal’s law states that a change in pressure at any point in a fluid in a closed container is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid.
By Pascal’s law:
P1 = P2
F1/A1 = F2/A2 (Since pressure equals force per unit area)
(where P = pressure, F = force, A = area)
Friction force
Kinetic friction force between two solid surfaces in contact is the force that opposes the relative motion of those surfaces.
f = μN
(where f = friction force, μ = coefficient of friction, N = normal force)
Torque
Torque is the cross product of position vector (from the axis of rotation to the point where force is applied) and the force vector (which tends to produce rotational motion).
τ = r x F
(where τ = torque vector, r = position vector, F = force vector)
Stress
When a body is subjected to a deforming force, a restoring force is developed in the body. This restoring force per unit area is known as stress.
Try chemical engineering design
In this virtual tour you will understand how a chemical engineer designs chemical production process by working on similar engineering assignments.
Note: Assignments are quite simplified compared to real work so that high school students can solve them
Pre-requisites
Understanding of below concepts and equations (wherever mentioned) is required
Reaction stoichiometry
Molar mass
Distillation
Volume of right cylinder
Reaction stoichiometry
Relationship between quantity of reactants and products given by a balanced chemical reaction.
Example:
CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
As per above reaction, one mole of CH4 reacts with two moles of O2 to give one mole of CO2 and two moles H2O
Molar mass
Mass of one mole of a substance. It is generally in g/mole.
Example: molar mass of water is 18 g/mole
Distillation
Distillation is separation of components from a mixture based on difference in their boiling points. It involves selective evaporation and condensation.
Volume of right cylinder
V = πr2h
(where V = volume, r = radius, h = height)
Try software engineering design
In this virtual tour you will understand how a software engineer designs products by working on similar engineering assignments.
