Analyzing The Opinion Of Industry Professionals On Model-Based Definition Datasets To Determine The Most Efficient Method, Shawn P. Ruemler
Analyzing The Opinion Of Industry Professionals On Model-Based Definition Datasets To Determine The Most Efficient Method, Shawn P. Ruemler
Open Access Theses
Model-based definition (MBD) has the engineering and manufacturing industries moving towards a model-based enterprise (MBE) where traditional two-dimensional (2D) drawings may one day no longer be needed. With MBD, the product data will be contained in the three-dimensional (3D) computer aided design (CAD) model itself. MBD provides a wealth of benefits to users, including reduced time-to-market, product quality, and task efficiency. Even with all the benefits of MBD, there is still no best practice when it comes to implementing MBD. Different strategies of MBD datasets exist, however none have been compared to see which method is more efficient. This project …
Multimedia Learning For Increasing Knowledge On Energy Efficiency And Promotion Of Proenvironmental Behavior: A Study Of Undergraduate Students In Costa Rica, Yoselyn Walsh
Open Access Theses
Promotion of energy efficiency practices among household has been employed in many interventions with a varying degree of success, mainly on developed countries. The purpose of the study is to promote and measure knowledge of proenvironmental behavior in undergraduate students in the Costa Rica Institute of Technology. The intervention used for this purpose provided personal and altruistic information about the impact of energy consumption activities in household. People’s perceptions and attitudes about behaviors that contribute and mitigate climate change were also investigated. Participants were students from undergraduate programs who are also inhabitants of the residence hall provided by the institution. …
Design Of 1.6 Liter Genset Engine, Hasitha Samarajeewa
Design Of 1.6 Liter Genset Engine, Hasitha Samarajeewa
Open Access Theses
Generators are widely used across the world as portable power units in case of power outages, used for emergency services and are also used in rural areas without access to electricity. The majority of commercially available generators use internal combustion engines designed as automobile engines with little or no optimization for use in generators. With operating conditions vastly different than that of automobile engines, they can be re-designed to operate much more efficiently as generator engines. The development objective here was to design a low cost, 1.6L, lean burn, internal combustion engine which minimizes heat losses, time losses and frictional …
