Chapter 6, Problem 6PE Problem Using the function basis terms provided in the chapter, create a valid function structure for the device chosen in Problem 6.5. Problem 6.5 Dissect a small appliance and create a physical decomposition diagram. Write a narrative accompanying the diagram to explain how the product works. Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 1 Students are asked to create the function structure for the hand mixer of the previous problem. Unmixed Ingredients Mixed Ingredients Clean Beaters ( CIBs) Covered Beaters (Bs) Electrical Energy (EE) Human Energy (HE) Black Box Representation of Mixer Unmixed Ingredients HE HE HE CIBs Mech HE Energy Signal HE Signal Fig. 6.3 Function structure of mixer Function structures are not unique. Fig. 6.7 holds one version of a valid function structure for the hand mixer. More details that could be included in a different function structure include a function block for steering the beaters through the ingredients to be mixed using human energy and a "guide" function block. The electrical cord could be represented by a "channel" function block that would direct the flow of energy from a wall socket source to the device.
