For everyday components and products to be manufactured to the required standard The tools or the machines that produce them must be operated in a safer and efficient manner. In the manufacturing process, commodities are supposed to meet a certain criterion (Kalpakjian, Schmid and Vijay Sekar, 2014, P.23). The machine...

Rashid (1) defines a circuit as a path that is between two points or more that can carry an electrical current. What is an integrated circuit? An integrated circuit is primarily a small electronic device that is semiconductor-based, which consists of resistors, capacitors as well as fabricated transistors (Rashid 63). An integrated...

Snell’s law or the Law of Refraction is .Consider a light ray which travels from fixed points P to Q. The ray will choose the quickest route (through the point X, which is not fixed) and so minimize the time of travel. The light ray has velocity CA in medium...

A piston is manufactured mostly using cast aluminium alloys. Rings are made using either cast iron or stainless steel. The manufacturing process depends on the intended application of the piston. The most common process is through casting. Typically, casting process involves pouring molten metal into a mould with a design...

This document reports on the lab exercise which was performed on an audio amplifier with the main aim of obtaining its frequency response characteristics and maximum gain. The frequency response characteristics of the amplifier include its bandwidth, signal to noise ratio, voltage gain and power gain. Amplifiers are employed in...

Beams are structural elements designed to bear structural load (dead load) and other external loads (live loads).  Bending moment of a beam denotes a reaction that a structural beam produces when an external force is applied on the beam causing its bending. In civil engineering the bending moment is referred...

A truss is a structure consisting of beams that are triangularly connected and applied in costructing buildings and bridges (Taranath, 2016). A framework comprising of cross-members that are connected using pin joints and supported at both ends using rollers or hinged joints is considered to be statically determinate (Hibbeler, 2015)....

Building construction is a rewarding, significant but complex process. The construction project usually begins with a concept and ends in a structure that might house people for many years. Nevertheless, the planning stage of the construction projects needs an orderly and well-planned assembly of all the needed resources. Articulation of...

In recent years, most construction of buildings is conducted using both the ancient and modern methods. Buildings existed from long ago history which were constructed mainly for reasons of shelter provision. However, modern buildings have undergone revolutionary changes including the use of various types of construction materials such as timber,...
