The duties of the section involve reagent storage and mixing, determining the dosage of reagents, ample preparation, metallurgical accounting and dispatch of the concentrate for further processing. Production – duties include receiving ore, ore milling, monitoring flotation cells, concentrate handling and tailings handling. The process at the concentrator is semi- automated and is monitored by…

Quick and Dirty Mohr’s Circle Solution for the Strain Gauge Rosette A 3 gauge rosette is attached to a simple tension bar. The three gauges of the rosette are at 45 degrees in relation to each other but the rosette is not aligned with the strap. The strap is 1. 00 inches wide and 0….

Discussion The process of consolidation is often confused with the process of compaction. Compaction increases the density of an unsaturated soil by reducing the volume of air in the voids. Meanwhile, Consolidation is a time-related process of increasing the density of saturated soil by draining some of the water out of the voids. According to…

Stress Analysis of the Front Suspension of a Formula Student Racing Car Using Solidworks Simulation Tools Abstract— the paper covers a simulation of the front suspension system which obtained a better way to analyze the problem. With the help of theoretical study, the simulation was conducted by using composite elements mesh for the system, which…

An electric generator is fundamentally an electric motor working backwards. An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. and an electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An electric generator looks about indistinguishable to an electric motor. Each consists of a cringle that is able to revolve in a magnetic field. The electric…

The engine is the single most important part of the automobile. Without it, the car simply will not move. It is important that the cylinder or engine block is built to withstand the high temperatures and pressures that are put into it and it is equally important that the engine block is built to last….

This article provides a thorough introduction to smart materials, encompassing their definition and various types. It discusses several examples of smart materials like piezoelectric materials, magneto-rheostatic materials, electro-rheostatic materials, and shape memory alloys. Additionally, it emphasizes the wide range of smart material options available and ongoing research aimed at creating new ones. The article also…

According to the kinetic molecular theory, gas particles are constantly in motion just like other forms of matter. However, their movement is distinct in that it is characterized by random translation. In solids, the particles primarily undergo vibrational motion. In liquids, they mainly vibrate and rotate, and also experience some translational motion. Gas particles move…

Introduction Statics is a branch of Mechanics that studies the forces and their effects in rigid bodies in balance. Just like humans, objects and buildings need a skeleton too. This is known as the structure. Bridges, amusement parks, chairs, and many other objects that surround us, have structures, if they didn’t they wouldn’t be able…

The aim of this investigation was to find the stress intensity that was present when a finite analysis of a cracked plate was conducted. The results that were gained from using the software, ANSYS, were verified with theoretical hand calculations. The stress intensity (KI) was found to be 0.42 Pam1/2 using the finite element analysis…
