A mechatronics engineer works to automate the transfer of materials and goods, and the manufacturing process. Their tasks involve identifying areas for task automation, designing, developing and testing potential mechatronic devices, and implementing design solutions.
A typical tea bag has somewhere between a gram and two grams of stuff in it. If the entire contents were nothing but fructose, and that fructose completely dissolved when you made your tea, you'd consume between 4 and 8 calories (carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram) per cup of tea -- so that's the ceiling.
At first glance, loose leaf tea seems more expensive because the price of the bag on the shelf may be $8, and you know at the grocery store there are boxes of tea for $2.50. The box of tea at the grocery store probably has 20 bags of tea, about 12.5Â¢ per cup of tea. The loose leaf tea says 3 oz. As we will discuss below, the rule is to use 2 grams of loose-leaf tea per cup. There are about 85 grams in 3 oz, so there are 42.5 cups of tea in a 3 oz. loose-leaf package. The loose-leaf will be around 19Â¢ per cup of tea, just 5Â¢ more for much better quality. The only thing to stop you now is the convenience of tea bags.
