Document Summary

Number of figures and tables (including handwritten ones): Engineering involves many calculations that are necessary for the safety of the project and ensures minimal malfunctions. These calculations often occur between different unit systems and quantities. Conversion is crucial to the accuracy of the outcome, because different systems are used at different times. Analysing drawing and dimensions allows proper reproduction and creation of the product. Programs such as intellicad are used in engineering as an asset to create drawing and information needed to complete the project. The purpose of this experiment is to carry out conversion of units, accurate observation of drawings and recreate a 2d drawing to prove the importance of each role. Information given about each pump was converted from their respective units to si units. 1: efficiency in percentage was calculated for each pump, surface area (cm2) and volume (cm2) were calculated for figure 1, 2 and 3. Intellicad was used to create figure 15. 25 in the textbook.
