971584 Introduction to Formula SAE® Suspension and Frame Design Edmund F. Gaffney III and Anthony R. Salinas University of Missouri - Rolla ABSTRACT This paper is an introduction to Formula SAE® (FSAE) suspension and frame design based on the experience of the design team at UM-Rolla. The basic theories and methodologies for designing these systems are presented so that new teams will have a baseline for their first FSAE design. Examples will be given based on UM-Rolla’s 1996 FSAE entry.

1. SUBSTATION EQUIPMENT AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Substations INTRODUCTION: In Power System network‚ in order to transmit and distribute the generated power‚ it is necessary to install “SUBSTATIONS” at strategic points to work at required voltage level since “HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION” is resorted to. The Sub stations are classified as “GRID” of “RADIAL” Substations. The Grid station is installed in Grid network to reduce the voltage level from 230KV to 110 KV. The radial Station within Distribution net

HYDRAULIC THEORY Introduction A hydraulic system is defined as a‚ ‘machinery unit which uses fluid as a pressure medium’. It has a number of advantages over an electrical system of a similar working capacity. Advantages: (1) The power to weight ratio is at least 14 times better than an equivalent electrical system. (2) Self-resetting overload protection. (3) Self-lubricating. (4) Infinitely variable speeds. (5) No static electricity. (6) Linear motion.

TITLE: Two Stage Air Compressor ABSTRACT: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effect of delivery pressure on the performance of reciprocating air compressor. The usage of an air compressor is to increase the amount of air in a confined space and use the compressed air to generate power. The Cussons P9050 Two Stage Reciprocating Air Compressor Test Set is used in this experiment. In the beginning the system is set up to a single stage air compressor and it is operated at a constant

110KV SUB-STATION PARUTHIPARA INTRODUCTION The hydel power development in Kerala began with the commissioning of Pallivasal hydro electric project in 1940. Next few decades saw the progressive developments of various schemes. The Paruthipara substation is the oldest substation in Trivandrum. There are 4 main feeders into this substation .it consists of a upper yard and a lower yard. The upper yard has the 2 feeders from Pothencode substation. These are 110kv feeders. The power basically

From Grandeur to Arrogance Walt Whitman ’s poem‚ "To a Locomotive in Winter" and Emily Dickinson ’s "I Like to See It Lap The Miles" are two different poems about the same subject‚ the steam engine. Where Whitman uses solely free verse‚ Dickinson’s poem more closely follows standard writing practices‚ with very structured line breaks. Another key difference in these works is the speech they use; Whitman uses "old English" laden with thee and thy‚ whereas Dickinson uses fairly modern terminology

ABSTRACT The purpose of this project is to determine the effect the size of an automobile’s wheel radius will have on that vehicle’s performance. To determine this‚ the distance a car travels when tested with the same propulsion force but different wheel diameter is measured. We expect that there will be an optimum size that should be utilized in order to achieve maximum efficiency. A larger or smaller wheel size should change the distance that the car will travel. The cars we

determine the presence of electrostatic charges with the use of an electroscope. It is performed by using three different kinds of rod (plastic‚ glass‚ and PVC)‚ each rubbed with silk cloth‚ flannel cloth‚ and fur cloth. The observations we have done brought about the idea that the rods and cloths that attracted confirmed the presence of opposite charges in them while the rods and cloths that repelled confirmed the presence of similar charges in them.
