  • Functional Block Diagram: The Functions Of Function Blocks

    805 Words  | 2 Pages

    Function Block Diagram The Function Block Diagram (FBD) is a graphical language in PLC which describes the function between the input output variables. FBD is in the form of elementary blocks and number of blocks are connected together to form a logic using connection lines or links. A function block is represented in the manner shown as: The connection is oriented, i.e. the line carries data from left to the right end. The connected blocks must be of the same data type (like integer, double integer

  • Productivity In Construction Industry

    679 Words  | 2 Pages

    1.1 General Construction labour productivity has become big problem in construction industry. In many countries, labour cost comprises 30 to 50% of the overall project’s cost (Yates and Guhathakurta, 1993), and thus is regarded as a true reflection of the economic success. Because construction is labour-intensive industry, significance of this effect not only justifies the concern over its labour productivity, but it can also be argued that labour power is the only productive resource. There are

    if I shouted "Three!" they would have to jump. The warm up will last about five minutes, so as not to tire them out. Skills and Practice For a practice/skills based activity, an obstacle course would be set up for them to complete (see diagram) while dribbling a football. They will each get a turn at this, and hopefully, it will prove to be fun as well as good practice. This activity will last about 5 - 10 minutes.

    harmonic motion of a pendulum can be studied by attaching a ticker-tape to a pendulum bob and analyzing the dots marked on the tape. Theory ------ In this experiment, a string was used to suspend a 0.5 kg mass. [IMAGE] Refer to the diagram above, [IMAGE] Considering the tangential force on the mass, [IMAGE] [IMAGE] ∴The oscillation is simple harmonic. Therefore, we can find out more on simple harmonic motion by analyzing the ticker-tape we obtained after the experiment

After that I am going to weigh the crucible making sure there is no other liquid or any other substances on the weigher, so I don't do not get any anomalous results. After I have recorded the weight I am going to place the crucible directly under the boiling tube, like shown in the diagram, and then I am going

    the sucrose concentration increases, so will the rate of reaction, but only up to a certain point. This is shown through the diagram below. As can be seen, there is a point at which the rate of reaction becomes constant, and no longer increases. This is because of the way in which the substrate interacts with the enzyme to form the end products. [IMAGE] The diagram above shows that the substrates interact with the enzymes at a specific location. This location is known as the active site
