Q

What direction does a driven gear turn from a drive gear

A

Opposite of the drive gear

18
Q

What is an idler gear

A

Gear put in between two gears to make the driven gear spin in the same direction as drive gear

19
Q

What are mechanical advantage formulas for speed and force gears

A

Speed MA = Driven / Drive

Force MA = Drive / Driven

20
Q

What is the formula for Incline Planes

A

21
Q

Pressure Defined

A

Amount of force acting on a specific amount of surface area

22
Q

PSI defined

A

Pounds Per Square Inch

23
Q

What is the flow of pressure

A

High Pressure always chases low pressure

24
Q

Ambient Pressure Defined

A

Pressure in a certain area

25
Q

What is one defining characteristic of Fluid Pressure

A

Fluid is not compressible

26
Q

Pascal’s Law Defined and Formula

A

How Pressure acts on a fluid and how the fluids force acts on surrounding objects

Force (lbs) = Area^2 * Pressure (in^2)

27
Q

Flow of Pressure formula

A

Volume of Moved input * Distance moved = Output of Volume moved * Distance moved

28
Q

What is characteristics of High Pressure and Low pressure

A

High Pressure air = Rises, Low Density, Low Velocity, High Temperature

Low Pressure air = Falls, High Density, High Velocity, Low Temperature

29
Q

What are the Five Mechanical Stresses

A

Tension, Compression, Torsion, Bending, and Shear

30
Q

What happens to pressure if volume is constant and temperature goes up and why

A

Pressure Increases

Increase in temperature increases vibration of particles as particles are vibrated and hit each other more the energy is transferred between other particles

31
Q

What is Gas laws formula

A

Volume one * Pressure one = Volume two * Pressure two

32
Q

What is Charles Law

A

All gases expand and contract in direct proportion to the change in the absolute temperature

33
Q

What is Charles Laws formula for when volume is constant and volume is different

A

Pressure one * Temperature two = Pressure two * Temperature one

Volume one * Absolute Temperature one = Volume two * Absolute temperature one

34
Q

What is the combined formula for Charles law and Boyle’s law

A

(Pressure one * Volume one) / Temperature one =

(Pressure two * Volume two) / Temperature two

35
Q

What is the pressure of mixed gases

A

The pressure of mixed gases is summed

36
Q

What is Absolute Pressure

A

pressure adjusted for atmospheric pressure

37
Q

What unit does absolute temperature use

A

Rankine

38
Q

Is water vapor denser or less dense then air

A

Water vapor is less dense then air,

39
Q

What is Absolute Humidity

A

Actual Water vapor in mixture of air and water

40
Q

What is Relative Humidity

A

Ratio of the amount of water vapor actually present in the atmosphere to the amount that would be present if the air were saturated

41
Q

What is Dewpoint

A

Temperature at which humid air must be cooled to condense

42
Q

What is Vapor Pressure

A

Portion of atmospheric pressure that is exerted by the moisture in the air
