Britannia Royal Naval College Visit Report Introduction On the 28th March 2006, our physics group visited the Dartmouth Royal Naval Engineer College where we found out more about engines and materials, connecting to several aspects of physics. One of the aspects is the energy accounting of diesel engines for the ships. The engine needs power to operate and it gets that from the fuel, the efficiency of the engine can tell us how much power is used to heat up the engine, and how much power is wasted as noise our shaking of the engine. Efficiency (in %) = Another important aspect is the mechanics of materials and how they can be tested for making metal cables. As in order to quantify the effects of various types of loads on a material it's often necessary to know the mechanical properties of the material. These properties are often determined from standardised tests. Finding...
