Power Plant Control and monitoring

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a sophomore Mechanical Engineering student seeking to leverage a summer internship in Power Plant Control and Monitoring for their final year project and future MS applications. The student is looking for project ideas that would stand out in their Statement of Purpose (SOP). Suggestions include exploring auxiliary power systems, with a potential connection to aviation applications, such as auxiliary power in planes or high-speed aircraft like scramjets. The student aims to approach their professor with a clear project proposal. Engaging in this internship could provide valuable experience and insights for both the project and future academic pursuits.

Hi,

I'm doing 2nd year (sophomore year) in Mechanical Engineering. I'm going to do a summer internship on 'Power Plant Control and monitoring' (this subject was assigned to me)...but as you all know, I've got to do an Engineering Project (Final Year Project) later on...so I was wondering if this internship could help me prepare for that too...in any case, I've got to utilise this opportutnity in such a way that it stands out in my SOP when I apply for MS...so could anyone suggest a project or any thing useful I could do with this internship...I mean when I approach the prof, I've got to know exactly I want from him...

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
