Refrigerated rail cars‚ also known as reefers‚ are insulated boxcars that keep their cargo at a regulated temperature‚ usually around 2 or 3 degrees Celsius. The first reefers relied on ice to cool their load‚ but now diesel-powered refrigeration units have replaced the ice as a more effective way to cool the load. The refrigerated rail car was patented by J.B. Sutherland in Detroit‚ Michigan in 1867. He designed an insulated car with ice at either end. This allowed air to come in from the top‚ pass

ELASTIC DEFORMATION AND POISSON’S RATIO E 45 – Materials‚ Friday 8:00 am September 21‚ 2012 Due: October 19‚ 2012 Abstract A tensile test was performed on a 4140 steel sample and the axial and transverse strains were measured. Data points were collected at incremental loads and graphed to determine the elastic modulus (30.4 x 106). Poisson’s ratio was also calculated from the dataset and determined to be 0.29. These experimental values agree closely (within

BASICS OF LEVELLING USES OF LEVELLING In the context of tidal measurements‚ levelling is used for the following purposes: • Referencing of Tide Gauges: To determine and check the vertical stability of the tide gauge bench mark (TGBM) with respect to reference points (benchmarks) in its immediate vicinity. In order to isolate any local movements‚ there should be at least three such benchmarks‚ and the levelling should be repeated on an annual or semi-annual basis. • Connection
