Radiation Heat Transfer

View Factor Orientation (or View factor or shape factor) plays an important role in radiation heat transfer. View factor is defined as, "fraction of radiation leaving surface 'i' and strike 'j' ". Summation Rule (View Factor) If there is are similar surfaces 'i' and 'j' , then: Blackbody Radiation Exchange Radiation Exchange between Opaque, Diffuse, Gray surfaces in an Enclosure 1. Opaque 2. Surfaces 3. Two surface enclosure Radiation Shield It is used to protect surfaces from radiation act like a reflective surface.

Bathymetric operation in Hydrographic Survey

-

Hydrographic Survey

Uses:

  • It is used to determine mean sea level and observation of tides in oceans, lakes, Bayer and harbors.
  • Used to find water depths and locations of rocks, sand bars for navigation channel opening and salvage operation.
  • Determination of pollution sources. 
  • For designing of projects like dams, bridges, reservoirs, port, harbors and many alot.
  • Preparation of nautical charts(nautical chart is the graphical representation of a sea area and the adjacent coastal regions. 
  • Through the knowledge of Hydrographic Survey we can prepare navigation charts.

Objectives of Hydrographic Survey

  1. Measurements of wavelengths of tides and waves.
  2. Construction of sea defence works. 
  3. Determination of bed depth.
  4. Location of underwater features. 
  5. Off shore engineering and shipping industries and many more things.

Bathymetric operations in Hydrographic Survey 

Hydrographic Echo Sounder:

Hydrographic Echo Sounder is used to find the depth of seafloor by using the properties of acoustic waves. It's basic principles is to measure the time which is required by wave when it is transmitted and reflected back like echo at seafloor.
Hydrographic Echo Sounder is further divided into 2 types :
1. Single Beam Echo Sounder 
2. Multi Beam Echo Sounder


1. Single Beam Echo Sounder(SBES) :

It is also called depth Sounder which determines the depth of water by time travel measurement of a short sonar pulse or ping.
The emitter or instrument is placed just below water surface and SBES listens for the return echo from the bottom. By this method we accurately determine the depth of water. SBES may use different frequencies, typically at 100m 200 kHz is used but if the frequency is decreased about 24-33kHz then it can be used for deeper water survey. Results from SBES are easier to interpret, less time consuming and this equipment may be operated by less experienced persons.

2. Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) :

In MBES, the sounding system emits sound in the form of waves. The time taken by the sound waves to strike the sea beds and bounced back to the receiver, is used to determine the depth of water. Echo Sounder can also be used to map the sea floor or to look for the specific items such as underwater ancient things or shipwreks. MBES shows the higher density of data. 
Multi beam echo sounders is not ideal for work in shallow river areas but has been produced for ocean and coastal survey. It works wonderfully with the depth of more than 100ft.

The difference between the multibeam and single Beam Echo Sounders is totally illustrated in the given pictorial presentation.

Orthographic Projections

Projection: The term Projection is defined as: Presentation of an image or an object on a surface. The principles used to graphically represent 3-D objects and structures on 2-D media and it based on two variables: Line of Sight.  Plane of Projection.  Line of Sight & Plane of Projection: Line of sight is divided into 2 types: Parallel Projection Converging Projection  & A plane of projection is an imaginary flat plane upon which the image created by the lines of sight is projected. Orthographic Projection: When the projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of projection. The lines pf sight of the observer create a view on the screen. The screen is referred to as the Plane of Projection (POP). The lines of sight are called Projection lines or projectors. Rules of Orthographic Projection: Edges that are parallel to a plane of projection appear as lines. Edges that are inclined to a plan

Corrections Of Tape

TAPING CORRECTIONS There are two types of corrections depending upon the type of errors in tape due to the different conditions.  1. Systematic Errors : Slope Erroneous tape length Temperature Tension Sag 2. Random Errors : Slope  Alignment Marking & Plumbing Temperature Tension & Sag 1. Temperature Correction  It is necessary to apply this correction, since the length of a tape is increased as its temperature is raised, and consequently, the measured distance is too small.  It is given by the formula,                         C t  = 𝛼 (T m  – T o )L Where,   C t  = the correction for temperature, in m.      𝛼 = the coefficient of thermal expansion.    T m  = the mean temperature during measurement.          T o  = the temperature at which the tape is standardized.       L = the measure length in m. For Foot Unit :                          C t  = 6.45×10^-6  (T m  – 68 )L For Metric Unit :                          C t  = 1.16

Introduction to Survey

ENGINEERING SURVEY Surveying is the science, art and technology of determine the relative positions of points above, on or beneath the Earth's surface so as to construct a map, plan or description. TYPES OF SURVEY : There are many types of survey but we discuss some of them.  1. Plane & Geodatic Survey : Ordinary field and topographical surveying in which the Curvature of Earth's surface is disregarded is called Plane Survey. It is performed when the area is smaller than 250sq.km.  A survey of a large land area in which corrections are made for the Curvature of Earth's surface is called Geodatic survey.  Why Geodatic Survey is important? Earth's surface is not flat, it is sphere. So all the calculations which were made by considering the Earth's surface flat are incorrect. So a new type of survey came into play which made calculations on the basis of geodatic condition of Earth's surface.  2. Topographic Survey : Topographic surv
