Mechanical Engineering
ASHRAE - correct answerAmerican Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and air
conditioning engineers.
ASME - correct answerAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers
Bearings - correct answerMetal pieces, such as balls. Transfer energy from shaft to
wheel, and reduce friction.
Clutches - correct answerUsed to connect 2 rotational devices. Allows adjustment of the
mechanical advantage.
Devices used in fluid power systems - correct answerValves, Pipes, tubes, hoses.
Dynamics - correct answerStudy the motion of objects, effects of forces on the motion of
objects.
Energy - correct answerMechanical tools require energy source to do work.
Fluid power systems - correct answerTransmit power by using power of confined fluids.
Can generate large amount of force.
Generally have few moving parts.
Easy to manipulate
Force - correct answerMoves an object, required to accomplish work.
Gears - correct answerTransmit rotational force against another gear or device.
Hydraulic systems - correct answerUses liquids like oils or water. Best when a large
amount of force is needed. Capable of providing large amounts of force with small
output devices.
Linkages - correct answerRigid components that have series of joints that combine to
form a closed chain. Used to transfer energy from one power source to another.
Mechanical energy - correct answerEnergy in motion that uses mechanical devices.
Mechanical Engineering - correct answerThe designing, building, and maintenance of
mechanical and fluid systems.
Mechanical engineers specialize in - correct answerEngine design, Heating/air
conditioning, and power systems.
