  2. Engine room - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_room

    This design maximizes the cargo carrying capacity of the vessel and situates the prime mover close to the propeller, minimizing equipment cost and problems posed from long shaft lines. On some ships, the engine room may be situated mid-ship, such as on vessels built from 1900 to the 1960s, or forward and even high, such as on diesel-electric ...

    The machine is trained based on inputs with tags that are connected to a corresponding output. Through this process, the machine develops a predictive model for the connection of this input to a certain output. This does not differ from the way that knowledge is learned in a classroom, with a teacher available to correct any errors.

  4. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. [1] In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. [2] Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines that were defined by Renaissance scientists: [3] [4 ...

  5. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    Rolling-element bearings have the advantage of a good trade-off between cost, size, weight, carrying capacity, durability, accuracy, friction, and so on. Other bearing designs are often better on one specific attribute, but worse in most other attributes, although fluid bearings can sometimes simultaneously outperform on carrying capacity ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_car

    Each unit of a double-stack car contains a single well; they often are constructed with three to five cars connected by articulated connectors. The intermediate connectors are supported by the centerplate of single trucks, often a 125-short-ton (112-long-ton; 113 t)-capacity truck but sometimes a 150-short-ton (134-long-ton; 136 t)-capacity one.

    Cube – The cargo carrying capacity of a ship, measured in cubic metres or feet. There are two common types: Bale Cube (or Bale Capacity) – The space available for cargo measured in cubic metres or feet to the inside of the cargo battens, on the frames, and to the underside of the beams. It is a measurement of capacity for cargo in bales or ...

  9. Plain bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_bearing

    A simple linear bearing can be a pair of flat surfaces designed to allow motion; e.g., a drawer and the slides it rests on [3] or the ways on the bed of a lathe. Plain bearings, in general, are the least expensive type of bearing. They are also compact and lightweight, and they have a high load-carrying capacity. [4]
