i. Assuming you are new engineer working in R & D division at manufacturing company which has decided to evaluate CAD/CAM system to adopt in your company in order to meet Industrial 4.0. (Select your company such plastic moulding, automotive, aerospace, marine etc). The company are required yourself to outline executive report for them to decided which suitable CAD/CAM system can be selected. Your report must discuss the suitable CAD/CAM system by referring to current trend which available can be accessed in the journals, articles, books, market/industrial report etc. You are assigned to this assignment with an individual work.

Q1
In the aerospace industry, the material cost is small in relation to the total fabricated cost of the material. If we assume approximately 10% of the total value of a pound saved on a sattelite may be spent on raw material, how much can we spend (in dollars per pound) on raw material?
Q2
Using the result of the previous question, which of the following materials can be justified for use in fabrication of a sattelite if a large majority of the sattelite will comprise the material selected?
nickel-based superalloys
silver
palladium
gold
high-strength composites
Q3
Based on the analysis of this section, at most approximately $.20/lb can go toward raw material cost in the fabrication of rail and ship transit carriers. What is the most expensive material that is feasible in the fabrication of the structural components in this sector?
wood
concrete
carbon steel
plastic

You are considering two columns with identical dimensions. One is constructed out of steel, the other aluminium, which will buckle at a smaller load? The euler formula for critical buckling force for column, pin jointed at both ends is given by Pcr = pi^2 EI/ L^2 if the end of the column are constrained to prevent rotation, how will the buckling force change?
In: Mechanical Engineering
When designing a column against buckling, how do you decide weather to use the Johnson or Euler formula in your calculations when computing the critical buckling load?

Based on the Pb-Sn alloy phase diagram, explain why Pb-Sn
alloy was widely used as the solder material in the reflow
soldering process in the past and it is much less used in the
electronic packaging nowadays.
Figure Q1 below shows the equilibrium phase diagram of Lead (Pb)-Tin (Sn) alloy system.

Q2 The pump of a LiBr--water absorption refrigeration
system delivers (0.7 kg/s) of
solution. The absorption system operates at the following
temperatures: generator (I 10 'C);
condenser (40 'C); evaporator (lO 'C); and absorber (33 'C).
Calculate;
(a) The refrigerant mass flow rate, the refrigerating capacity, and
the COP of the system.
(b) The COP of an ideal heat-operated refrigeration system that
operates with the same
temperatures.

Excellent combinations of hardness, strength, and toughness are
obtained from
tempered martensite. An employee in a heat treatment facility
austenitized an eutectoid
steel at 9500C for 45 min and finally allowed the steel to slowly
cooled in furnace. Do
you think the required tempered martensite structure was produced?
If not, support
your answer with a detail heat treatment that can be employed for
the steel.

Water enters the condenser of surface type; the temperatures of the water that is used to cool the steam is 17oC and 28oC respectively. The pressure of the condenser is at 0.055 bar and 0.87 dry fraction. The overall heat transfer coefficient in the condenser is 3 kW/m2.oC. The condenser has three passes and tubes used have 17.6 mm internal diameter and 20 mm external diameter. If the flow area is 1.3 m2, Design the condenser. If the condenser is used to condense 240 tons of steam per hour.
