A lift mechanism includes many engineering features which illustrate principles taught in the course. The workings of a mine lift at Ellington Colliery are taken as case examples - one based on a traction...
Demonstrates the use of infra-red thermography to monitor the effectiveness of arthritic drug treatments. Another important method of heat transfer is convection and this is illustrated using the technique...
Looks at the theory behind gas turbine cycles using studio animations and a schematic model. A visit to the CEGB Ironbridge Power Station shows how this is used in practice. Shows the working gas and steam...
Given any thermodynamic device, set in a black box, how can we tell whether the input, output characteristics claimed for it are valid and that the device will do what is claimed? An energy and entropy...
Examines two types of turbine: one based on the Pelton wheel and the other on the Francis turbine. Compares the designs of the runners in the two turbines using studio models and animations. Looks at the...
Equations of the standard form ax2 + by2 + cz2 = constant represent central quadric surfaces. The family of such surfaces is considered, particularly ellipsoids and single and double sheet hyperboloids....
Investigates the properties of space-time geometry, based on Einstein’s postulate of the constancy of the speed of light in all intertial frames of reference, which is illustrated. A studio simulation with...
Considers the technique of summing a set of functions as an approximation to another function - the technique of Fourier analysis - in terms of a vector space of functions.
In 1950 much of the River Thames was dead, being totally devoid of oxygen, the oxygen being used up in the process of decay in the sewage. But the river authorities used a mathematical model to predict the...
The concept of a group action is established in terms of an abstract group acting on an abstract set.
