Abstract
Material selection is an important stage in engineering design. Engineers use various materials with different mechanical properties in building of structures. These mechanical properties include; tensile strength, yield strength, proof stress, Young's modulus, shears modulus of rigidity and ductility amongst others. Material selection increases the performance as well as durability of the engineering component. The expected life, cost, nature of loading and working environment are some of the factors that assist engineers to select materials for particular application. Therefore, engineers and designers must be able to determine the properties of these materials before they use them. Engineers ...

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

The simplest example is the division of the area into small rectangles, determining the area of rectangles and then integrating all the areas together to determine a resultant area. But the margin of error is huge in this method. This can be minimized by the ‘ ...

Introduction

When it comes to control systems, the inverted pendulum system is something that stands out from amongst the rest. Linear control concepts such as stabilization of unstable systems can be demonstrated using the inverted pendulum. Since the system is intrinsically non linear, many non linear concepts can also be demonstrated using the inverted pendulum. This system has basically two equilibrium states, one stable and the other unstable. In the stable equilibrium state, the pendulum points downwards and in the absence of any controlling forces, it returns to its original state. In the unstable equilibrium state, the pendulum points upwards. ...

ABSTRACT

In the vibrating beam experiment, an aluminum cantilever beam was made to vibrate. An accelerometer transducer was used to convert the mechanical vibrations into a signal that was fed into an oscilloscope via a power supply. The oscilloscope mapped the signal into a sine curve and displayed it on the screen.
The oscillations’ decay curve was studied and the beam’s damping ratio was determined. The decay curve’s logarithmic decrement was used to determine the beam’s damping ratio and its natural frequency.
The beam’s damping ratio was observed to be underdamped at a damping ratio of 0.0066.

Introduction:

In 1976, Marion Bradford designed the Bradford method that is widely used in measuring the concentration of protein in a solution. When Coomassie Blue is added to a solution containing protein, the solution colour changes from brown to blue and this is attributed to the formation of a protein complex. The concentration levels of protein can therefore be measured by observing the dye color, which fully absorbed at a certain wavelength. The standard curve is used to calculate the concentration of protein because it represents the known BSA (bovine serum albumin) dilution. (Harvard, 2012)

Dissolved Oxygen

INTRODUCTION
Dissolved oxygen is a useful parameter used to determine the level of effluent in waste water treatment. Living organisms in water bodies require oxygen to break down organic matter. These organisms consume the dissolved oxygen in water and give out carbon dioxide. Oxygen does not readily dissolve in water and gets depleted quickly by increased micro-organism activity. To maintain optimal oxygen levels in a water body, the oxygen replenishing rate from the air should be equal to dissolved oxygen use by micro-organism in the water. A curve drawn to represent dissolved oxygen levels down a stream from a point of effluent ...

Discussion:

Using the measurements made in the procedure, calculate the quiescent current IE, and the internal emitter resistance re.
The quiescent current IE and internal emitter resistance re can be calculated using the DC analysis carried out in Step#1 and Step#2 of the procedure. The DC voltage measured across RE is used to measure the biasing current across the emitter of BJT. The voltage is measured to be 793mV. Since RE = 1KΩ, so:
IE=VERE=0.7931000=0.000793A=0.793mA.

Now, we can calculate the internal resistance of emitter using the formula provided in the procedure. So:

re=0.026IE=0.0260.000793=32.786Ω

Using the values obtained in the experiment; draw the small-signal ac equivalent circuit for the amplifier.
