Study Notes
Computer Basics
- A computer is an electronic device used for processing data.
- Data are prepared programs used by a machine.
- Computers perform various tasks: plotting rocket courses, creating bank statements, forecasting weather, and more.
- A computer is considered a large information machine.
- The internal operations of a computer are called processing.
Computer Operations
- Output is the result of data processing.
- Computers use circuits for arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, exponentiation).
- Input, processing, and output are fundamental concepts as in school.
- Many daily tasks are step-by-step processes.
- Peripheral devices are used in connection with computers.
Properties of Mineral Oil
- Mineral oil is slippery and acts as a good lubricant.
- Some metals can be brightened using heat and special chemicals.
- Lack of grease in machines causes friction.
- Oil lamps are a source of illumination for many.
- Different grades of oil are used for specific lubrication purposes.
- Steam condenses to water when touching a cold surface.
Electrical Bulbs and Other Applications
- The tungsten wire in an electric bulb can vaporize.
- Crude oil is refined in a refinery.
- Civil engineering projects have significantly sped up in recent years.
- Cranes use a variety of lifting equipment.
- Soil behavior is largely influenced by water content.
- Mild-steel bars are used in reinforced concrete beams to improve tensile strength.
- Concrete needs protection from freezing during the first seven days after being placed.
Metalworking and Metallurgy
- Ground testing is crucial for foundation work.
- Metallurgy is the science of metalworking.
- Metals liquefy at high temperatures.
- Metalworkers identify ores for smelting into metal.
- Furnaces are lined with firebricks.
- Metal and slag are tapped from furnaces.
Metals and Alloys
- Gold and silver are considered noble metals because they do not tarnish easily.
- Alloys are created by combining different metals.
- Increasing carbon content in iron is necessary for creating steel.
- Molten metal and liquid slag fall to the bottom of the furnace hearth.
- Microwaves are used for communication due to their large bandwidth.
- No complete waveguide communication system is commercially operational yet.
Microwave Engineering and Applications
- Studies of microwave links advance microwave engineering.
- Electricity, like sound, travels in waves (radio waves).
- Astronomers use microwave frequencies to study star-generated electromagnetic radiation (from stars).
- The frequency/wavelength of a broadcasting station is decided by the alternating current cycles.
- Open-wire telephone communication is the oldest method.
- Modern broadcast stations use antennas to transmit sound combined with carrier waves.
Sound and Radar
- Sound is produced by vibrations and travels in waves.
- Microwave energy is often used to heat dielectric materials.
- Radar originated from radio detecting and ranging abbreviations.
- Radar scans space using high frequency radio waves.
- Radar's reflected beam strength and direction measure an object's size, distance, etc.
- The transmitter sends another pulse to receive echoes from more distant objects.
Radar Systems
- Radar systems measure an object's distance using the time radio energy takes to travel to and from the object.
- Electromagnetic energy travels at approximately 3x100 meters per second.
- Radio energy encompasses the electromagnetic spectrum from 1 mm to 100 kilometers in wavelength.
- Radar energy is a specific part of the radio spectrum, transmitted in short pulses.
- Electromagnetic energy from the transmitter is radiated at regular intervals.
Concrete Technology
- The received signal (echo) is displayed on the display unit.
- Portland cement concrete is a common civil engineering material.
- In the past, concrete technology was based on an empirical science.
- Concrete forms the foundation of modern buildings.
- Builders have historically used materials to bond stones or bricks.
- Lightweight aggregates can be natural or synthetic.
Concrete Properties and Construction
- Concrete is versatile, used in both construction and architectural design.
- Formwork is crucial in concrete construction.
- Synthetic fibers are now produced in large quantities.
- Functional fibers need consumer approval.
- Chemists prepare ingredients, and technologists process them.
- Naturally occurring and spun yarns are used in weaving or knitting textile fibers.
Fiber Manufacturing
- Extremely fine yarns are necessary for delicate materials during manufacture.
- Asbestos is a mineral fiber made into fireproof fabrics or protective clothing.
- Mohair, cashmere, and other animal fibers are important in textile production.
- Cotton is the only vegetable fiber made from a single cell.
- Fiber production is often concentrated in areas with low labor costs.
Magnetism and Electricity
- Magnetic field strength depends on the current.
- Resistors impede current flow in a circuit.
- Metal mixtures containing magnetic substances have magnetic properties.
- The magnetic force of attraction is strongest at the magnet's ends.
- Generators are used in large-scale electrical energy production.
- A substance attracted to a magnet can become a magnet itself.
- Unlike poles attract; like poles repel.
- Current flows when a potential difference exists across a conductor.
- Water turbines transform kinetic energy from flowing or falling water into mechanical rotary motion.
