    Front end of an engineering design

    Thank you Russ, I have been looking into how a particular machine works, and been asked to compile my findings into a front end engineering design report. I was initially thinking that 'front end' was just a non-standard reporting style, but perhaps i was wrong. Could i be being asked to put...

    Front end of an engineering design

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone here knows (and could tell me) how to put together a front end engineering design. I've been asked to create one, have no idea what it is and so far google has been no help! Thanks

    Mixing Problem (variable volume)

    Yes, thanks for showing me that - perhaps it's just the tiredness setting in, or perhaps I'm just completely dense! But i am still not able to work this out.

    Mixing Problem (variable volume)

    Homework Statement A tank contains 150L of water in which initially 30g or salt is dissolved. Brine runs in at a rate of 4 L/m and each litre contains 1.5g of dissolved salt. The mix in the tank is kept uniform. Brine runs out at 3L/m. What is that amount of salt in the tank at any time t...

    Normalization of Slit #2 Wave Amplitude

    Homework Statement In a double-slit experiment, the slits are on the y-axis and the electrons are detected on a vertical screen. When only slit #1 is open, the amplitude of the wave which gets through is \psi(y,t) = A \exp^{-y^2} \exp^{-i((ky-\omega t)} when only slit #2 is open...

    Rutherford alpha particle scattering

    Thank you for the response .ultimate, i was wondering if you could tell me how you came to get those answers? Perhaps you could tell me what equations were used, or how you came to that conclusion? Thank you
