Wilkerson Company 1. What is the competitive situation faced by Wilkerson? The critical product in term of market competition is the pumps of Wilkerson Company. The pumps are Wilkersons major product line with a production of about 12‚500 units per month. Pumps currently have the lowest gross margin among all products‚ because competitors had been reducing prices on pumps and Wilkerson adopted its prices in order to remain competitive and to maintain the volume. 2. Given some apparent problems with

ABSTRACT The green engine is one of the most interesting discoveries of the new millennium. It has got some unique features that were used for the first time in the making of engines. This engine is a piston less one with features like sequential variable compression ratio‚ direct air intake‚ direct fuel injection‚ multi-fuel usage etc. The efficiency of this engine is high when compared to the contemporary engines and also the exhaust emissions are near zero. The significance of the engine lies in

varying amounts of assistance to be applied depending on driving conditions. On Fiat group cars the amount of assistance can be regulated using a button named "CITY" that switches between two different assist curves‚ while most other EPS systems have variable assist‚ which allows for more assistance as the speed of a vehicle decreases and less assistance from the system during high-speed situations. In the event of component failure‚ a mechanical linkage such as a rack and pinion serves as

for incompressible fluids: (1) venturi meter‚ (2) orifice plate and (3) rotameter. To compare the difference in flow rate incurred by each of these device. Overview In engineering and industrial practice‚ fluid measurement of many of the variables and properties‚ such as density‚ viscosity‚ pressure‚ velocity‚ flow rate and etc is one of the problems most frequently encountered by engineers. It is therefore essential for engineers to be well equipped with knowledge of the fundamentals and

size‚ shape and volume is irrelevant. There are two main equation in equations in hydraulic system these are applied in order to calculate the parameters. (1) Force (N) = [(Area) (m2)] X [(Pressure) (Pa)] Using the above equation any of the variables can be found As per this equation lesser the area more the force the force applied An important relationship in hydraulics is the area of a piston‚ the distance it moves and the volume of fluid displaced.
