Preparing for the InvestigationAs a marine engineer working for a ship owner you have been called to investigate into the reasons for one of the company’s vessels suffering an electrical failure. The bulk carrier was manoeuvring into the port of Antwerp when it lost power as the switchboard breaker for No 3 generator tripped out suddenly and then the other running generator (No 2) was also disconnected due to an overload. Power was rest...

A color coded resistor has the following stripes: blue orange red gold. Determine the nominal value of this resistor. Give your answer in unit prefix notation. You need a 10%10  ? What is the color coding for this resistor? You measure the resistor value of3  ?for a resistor with the following color coding: red red red silver Use the % error formula given in the lab handout to determine whether or not th...

Current ContributionsAccording to the learning outcomes for this module, this assignment will demonstrate that students can: Exhibit a comprehensive understanding and sound judgement in developing proposals and solutions to reduce the impact of organisations as they seek to respond to climate change risks Apply a range of advanced technical, academic and professional skills to evaluate and critically reflect on current trends in engineerin...

Assignment 1: Watch NOVA ScienceNOW, with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium, New York City l (Links to an external site.), February 23, 2011). Answer the following questions: Why did Dr. Tyson say that the grid got its start during the Depression rather than in the 1880s? What percentage of the cost of producing electricity is spent on keeping standby generating plants on hold? When consumers start installing the smart appli...

Module Learning Outcomes (MLOs) Assessed by Coursework A systematic understanding of knowledge which is at the forefront of modern engineering design and optimisation Knowledge of conducting essential calculations for reliability driven design and design under uncertainties Intellectual / Professional skills & abilities: Ability to plan design optimisation processes for complex engineering problems and to formulate their corresponding...

Objective of the StudyThe objective of this study is to develop a capacity to conduct the analytical studies sufficient to allow valid and responsible engineering decisions to be made in the context of system planning and operation. To do this we will study the behaviour of a simple (but representative) 30 bus power system, as illustrated in figure 1. The various capabilities of the Power World software will provide sufficient analysis tools for...

Question 1 For undergraduate modules: a score of 40% or above represents a pass performance at honours level.   late submission of any item of coursework for each day or part thereof (or for hard copy submission only, working day or part thereof) for up to five days after the published deadline, coursework relating to modules at Levels submitted late (including deferred coursework, but with the exception of referred coursework), will...

Evaluation of Condition Monitoring Techniques The professional report generated in the assignment should be 1500 words not including relevant material (Appendices). The assignment should be your own work and written in your own words and any information taken from other resources should be referenced. It will be checked for plagiarism using Turnitin. Any plagiarism or copying from others will be dealt with through the university’s plagiari...

Learning OutcomesControl systems are paramount to efficient working practice and provide the manufacturing world a system to provide accurate and consistent results.There are many instances of control systems , not only in operational systems such as power plant and energy production, but also in the manufacturing and production line environment where automated systems are in place to shape and build components into assemblies leading to the f...

The Motivation Behind More Electric SystemsThe aim of Assignment 1 is to develop background knowledge and arguments for the move by many industrial sectors to “More Electric” systems. Examples of these sectors are:- (i) Automotive – hybrid and electric vehicles (ii) Rail – hybrid and electric trains (iii) Marine – hybrid and electric ships (iv) Aerospace – electro-hydrostatic and electro-mechanical actua...

Introduction to Vibration PlatesA vibration plate or “power plate” is an exercise machine that sends high-speed vibrations through all of the muscles in your body. Using a vibration plate combined with a healthy diet and regular cardio will help you to achieve your fitness goals [1]. There are two movement patterns in vibration plates: linear vibration and pivotal oscillation. A linear vibration plate is a spring and eccentric whee...
