4. Genichi Taguchi defined the taguchi loss Function: Explain what the Taguchi Loss Function means for both the consumer and Manufacturer

As part of a mechanical device there is a circular cog, Cog1, that has a diameter of 50 cm. From the mechanic’s point of view, when the device is in action, Cog1 rotates anticlockwise and makes two full turns per minute. There is a red marker on Cog1 to help track this motion.

(a) Consider only the placement of the red marker on Cog1. It is defined by two variables, X and Y . X is the horizontal displacement from the vertical line through the center of Cog1 and Y is the vertical displacement from the horizontal line through the center of Cog1. Let θ be the angle from the positive horizontal axis to the line between the center of C og1 and the red marker. Assume θ is measured anticlockwise and in radians.

(i) Sketch a representation of this situation.

(ii) Let the red marker begin at θ = 0. Sketch the graphs X(θ) and Y (θ); the horizontal and vertical position of the red marker as functions of θ, as the marker rotates. Clearly label the axes, the maximums and minimums of the functions, and any points where the graphs cross the axes.

(iii) Give explicit expressions for X(θ) and Y (θ).

In a supermarket, air at atmospheric pressure and 25 °C is supplied to an air handling unit through a rectangular duct with a cross section of 0.5 m x 0.1 m. The air handling unit will distribute 2/3 of the air to the large shopping area of the supermarket at 25 °C, and it will cool the remaining air to -5 °C and distribute it to a walk-in refrigerator. To avoid frictional pressure losses, the average air velocity in the ducts should be 5 m/s. Assume pressure changes in the system are negligible.

a. What is the mass flowrate of air into the air handling unit?
b. Find the cross-sectional areas of the two ducts leaving the air handling unit,transporting air to the shopping area and the refrigerator.

Iron has an fcc structure at temperatures higher than 913 degree centigrade, and bcc structure below this temperature. At 1148 oC, iron can dissolve maximum of 2.08% of carbon to form steel. However, at temperature lower than 723 oC, iron can only dissolve maximum 0.025% carbon. The atomic radius is 0.129 nm in both structures (don't consider thermal expansion). One of the largest void is located at (0, ½ , 0) for fcc.

What is the largest void size in the fcc structure of iron?

A thermocouple junction of 1.0-mm in diameter is inserted in a large chamber to measure the temperature of hot gas flowing through the chamber. The hot gas has a velocity of 2 m/s and temperature (Tg) at 800 K. The chamber surface (Ts) is maintained at 500 K.

(a) If the thermocouple is at room temperature, Ti when it is inserted in the chamber, calculate the time required for the temperature difference, (Tg–T) to reach 2% of the initial temperature difference Tg-Ti . Neglect radiation and conduction through the leads. Properties of the thermocouple junction are approximated as k = 100W/mK, c = 385 J/kgK and  = 8920 kg/m3 , while those of the hot gases may be assumed to have the properties of air at atmospheric pressure.

(b) If the thermocouple junction has an emissivity of 0.5, what is the steady state temperature of the thermocouple junction?

(c) The emissivity of the thermocouple junction can be controlled through application of a thin coating. How would changes in the emissivity affect the temperature measurement error? Compute the steady state junction temperature for emissivities in the range 0.1  ɛ  1. Results are to be presented in graphical and / or tabular forms and should be accompanied by substantial discussion supported by heat transfer fundamentals.

(d) Suggest ways to eliminate the temperature measurement error
