“You can achieve anything you put your mind to!” Meet Leia W. ! Leia is a Mission Systems Engineer on an industrial placement at Babcock International Group , who has created women in STEM societies and ran events for students. Her goal for the FAB15 is to build a community of engineers and help people feel empowered and connected. The FAB15 is RS’ global advisory board made up of 15 bright young business and engineering minds from all over the world. #FAB15 #Engineering #WomenInSTEM

We spotted this meme recently and wanted to look really clever in our engineering group chats. Luckily, we have access to an amazing real life astrophysicist, Paul Grimes who took time out of his busy telescope day job at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian to give us this explanation. ”Navier–Stokes is the consequence of conservation of momentum and Newton's laws on a fluid that can sustain a stress tensor via viscosity. It's really just showing how complex stuff gets from very simple laws If you want to make it really complicated, you make the fluid charged, so that Maxwell's equations also apply, and you have Magnetohydrodynamics. If that's not hard enough, you make the fluid actively undergoing nuclear fusion, so that it's self-heating and changing mass. And for the end of level boss, you do that in a general relativistic spacetime around a spinning charged black hole to model accretion disks.” Thanks Paul! Now to practice saying “magnetohydrodynamics” three times in a row 🧠 #Physics #NavierStokes #Science

One of our values here at RS is 'Make Every Day Better'. We live that value out in various ways, and utilising our volunteering days is one of them. Whether we're cleaning a beach, planting a forest, renovating a garden at a domestic abuse safehouse, or helping our local little league - we want our communities to be a bit better, every day. #WeAreRS #EveryDayBetter

It's been a minute since we've tested your maintenance engineering know-how... See if you can spot the lie: 1️⃣ Infrared thermography is used to detect electrical faults and thermal insulation deficiencies in equipment, but it cannot be used to monitor fluid levels in tanks. 2️⃣ Ultrasonic testing can detect internal flaws in materials and is also commonly used for checking the thickness of pipes and tanks to monitor for corrosion. 3️⃣ Condition-based maintenance (CBM) relies solely on the time-based maintenance schedule and does not use real-time data from sensors.

RS UK & Ireland reposted this
In celebration of #REflect 2024, we’re highlighting 24 inspiring engineers from Global Ethnic Majorities who are working today to engineer a better tomorrow, in collaboration with RS UK & Ireland and Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE-UK). #GEMinSTEM Founded in 2019, REflect is a collaboration between us, RS and the Association For Black & Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE). The initiative 24 for 2024 aims to celebrate the achievements of Global Ethnic Majorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (GEM in STEM). These extraordinary individuals have not only excelled in their respective fields but have also paved the way for future generations of engineers, scientists, and innovators. Pictured 📷: Dr Nike Folayan MBE (PhD, CEng., FIET), Ollie Folayan MBE (PhD CEng FIChemE), Ozak Esu (Ph.D. CEng MIET) and George Imafidon MBE Click here to see our interactive poster and learn more about our top 24 trailblazers: https://spkl.io/60474hy7T

Can you tell the difference between a real product, and a fake one? 🤔 Whether it's a machine part or PPE, verifiable authenticity is vital. Machine reliability, staff health and safety, the environment, and business outcomes are all at stake if a fake product makes its way into your production. But how can you spot the fakes? Look for these warning signs: → Is the offer presented as a bargain? → Are you being offered short delivery times for special products? → Have you received product authenticity certificates? SKF Group have just launched an Authenticity App, to help its customers verify their products - a move that we hope many of our suppliers and partners will adopt. In the meantime, though, purchasing via RS Online will ensure that the product you want is the the product you get - every single time. You can download the SKF app here: https://lnkd.in/dHT5E_WR #SKFAuthenticate #WeAreRS
