ENT 1 TITLE: TOTAL DESIGN ACTIVITY EXERCISE PRODUCT DESIGN SPECIFICATION (PDS) Due Date: 30th April 2022 Place yourself in the position of a consulting engineer who has been asked by a client to design several structures to be mounted on an existing jetty. Each Structure is to carry a cyclone and powered articulated arms carrying a suction pipe system for unloading of grain ships directly into trucks (Figure 13.2). Outline the range of questions you would ask your client in preparation of the initial Product Design Specification(PDS), giving reasons for asking such questions in the context of this problem.

Your capstone design team is prototyping (e.g. you are building a model to test not a final product) a "fire identification drone. The final product is intended to fly over rugged wilderness areas and look for small fires that should be monitored and potentially fought or contained. It is NOT intended to be used in large active fires. Your subteam's job is to design and build the support frame for the drone (e.g. the structure where the motors, propellers, guidance electronics and GPS, heat sensors, radio receiver and transmitter, etc. are attached) for the prototype. You have access to a machine shop with saws, lathes (for removing material by rotating it and using a cutting tool), drills and a facility with 3-D printers that can print a variety of plastics using fused deposition modeling (this is the technique where a polymer filament is melted and forced through a nozzle to build a structure layer by layer). You will be testing in a summer/fall timeframe so you expect temperatures…

Learning Goal: To learn to apply the method of joints to a truss in a systematic way and thereby find the loading in each member of the truss. In analyzing or designing trusses, it is necessary to determine the force in each member of the truss. One way to do this is the method of joints. The method of joints is based on the fact that if the entire truss is in equilibrium, each joint in the truss must also be in equilibrium (i.e., the free-body diagram of each joint must be balanced). Consider the truss shown in the diagram. The applied forces are P₁ = 630 lb and P₂ = 410 lb and the distance is d = 8.50 ft. Figure 1) 1 of 1 A E 30° d B D P₁ 30° d C

Hydro Tasmania has initiated the Battery of the Nation (BotN) strategic initiative to investigate and map out future development opportunities for the State of Tasmania to make a bigger contribution to a future National Electricity Market (NEM). The Tarraleah scheme redevelopment pre-feasibility study was undertaken through this initiative, with funding support from ARENA under the Advancing Renewables Program. For this assignment problem you will be using your knowledge of hydro power to: (1) estimate extended specifications for a new power station on the left bank of the Nive River opposite the existing power station; and (2) to reverse engineer specifications for the Pelton turbines currently installed at the Tarraleah power station. The pre-feasibility design team established basic parameters of a new power station to comprise two Francis turbines with a design flow of 20 m³/s (total 40 m³/s), a net head of 305 m and an installed capacity of ~57 MW (total 113 MW). The Tarraleah…
