GENERAL ENGINEERING
This mathematical operation is often used to find the area under the curve.
What is Integration?
This unit of measurement is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one milliliter of water by one degree Celsius
What is a calorie?
This operation separates components based on differences in boiling point.
What is Distillation?
This construction material is produced by mixing cement, water, and aggregates.
What is concrete?
This renewable source derives energy from underground heat within the Earth.
What is geothermal energy?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
This thermodynamic process occurs without heat transfer into or out of the system.
What is an adiabatic process?
This variable measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
What is pH?
This is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a body.
What is a free body diagram?
This diagram shows phase relationships as a function of temperature and composition.
What is a phase diagram?
This thermodynamic property represents the total heat content of a system.
What is enthalpy?
This thermodynamic cycle is commonly used to describe the operation of gasoline engines.
What is the Otto Cycle?
Its presence increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed itself.
What is a catalyst?
This law describes the relationship between stress and strain within the elastic limit of a material.
What is Hooke’s Law?
This metal is well known for its ability to return to shape after heating, with promising applications for space exploration and medicine.
What is NiTiNOL
This dimensionless number compares inertial forces to viscous forces in fluid flow.
What is the Reynolds number?
This law states that the heat transfer rate by convection is proportional to the temperature difference between a surface and a fluid.
What is Newton’s Law of Cooling?
This functional group contains a single hydrogen bonded oxygen atom.
What is an alchohol?
Engineers commonly use this structure in bridges and roof systems because triangles provide excellent stability.
What is a truss?
This crystal defect occurs when an extra half-plane of atoms is inserted into a crystal structure.
What is an edge dislocation?
