Site office

Welcome to the Engineers Site Office. This is where engineers gather and check in when they have project tasks to organise and carry out.

This page is to discuss anything related to WikiProject Engineering

and Issues of going concern

Discussion on notability of Aluminum internal combustion engine on the reliable sources noticeboard

There is a discussion on the notability of the Aluminum internal combustion engine on the reliable sources noticeboard. The discussion involves the reliability of Russian news sources, including TASS. If you're interested, please participate at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard § Reliability of (mostly) Russian news sources for an engineering breakthrough in Russia. — Newslinger talk 06:02, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like a good case to merge this into the main article. I have talked about it on its talk page and the reliability discussion is now over (what ever that may had concluded) - AH (talk) 19:01, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Technical standards

A new WikiProject has been proposed where your knowledge and competence could be very useful.
You are invited to join the discussion about this proposal: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Technical standards. Thanks. --Daniele Pugliesi (talk) 01:11, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:List of College and University Agricultural Engineering Departments

I have created a draft in order to separate the massive list that is on the main article Agricultural Engineering because I want to improve that article as well. If someone could review, I will make the article and improve btoh articles. - AH (talk) 18:56, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One of your project's articles has been selected for improvement!

Hello,
Please note that Hammer, which is within this project's scope, has been selected as one of Today's articles for improvement. The article was scheduled to appear on Wikipedia's Community portal in the "Today's articles for improvement" section for one week, beginning today. Everyone is encouraged to collaborate to improve the article. Thanks, and happy editing!

how to achieve higher levels of utilization at 100% efficiency

Does anyone have any ideas? we know efficiency = actual output/effective capacity x 100 and Utilization = actual output/ design capacity x 100 Well efficiency is defined as the ratio of the actual output to effective capacity. So in order to calculate efficiency, you first have to determine what the effective capacity of the operation is. Once you determine the effective capacity, that will help you then to know the design capacity. Design capacity is defined as the maximum output achieved under ideal conditions. Design capacity represents 100 percent of total output. Now utilization is, the ratio of actual output to design capacity and gives a better picture of how the operation is making the most of its potential. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JENNWEISSCONNERS (talk • contribs) 21:04, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, design capacity in engineering is never 100% because engineers know that no perpetuum mobile exists. There is always some fraction where energy "leaks" aka "closed system" and ideal conditions dont exist anywhere. --Kharon (talk) 02:15, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
