A manufacturing process produces piston rings, with ID
(inner diameter) dimension as shown above.
Process variation causes the ID to be normally distributed, with a
mean of 10.021 cm and a standard
deviation of 0.040 cm.
a. What percentage of piston rings will have ID exceeding 10.075
cm? What percentage of piston rings
will have ID exceeding 10.080 cm? (4)
b. What is the probability that a piston ring will have ID between
9.970 cm and 10.030 cm? (This is the
customer’s specification that the supplier tries to provide
.)
(ie.) If the specification is “9.970cm < ID < 10.030cm”, what
%’age of piston rings are “out of spec”? (4)
c. Half (50%) of all piston rings have ID below 10.021
cm. What is the dimension corresponding to
the smallest 10%, and what is the dimension corresponding to the
largest 10%? What is the
dimension corresponding to the smallest 20%, and what is the
dimension corresponding to the
largest 20%
d. Piston rings with ID too small or too large have different
problems that the assembly operation
(customer) would like to know about in advance.
From your results in b., how many parts in a production run of 5000
pieces would be above
specification? How many parts would be below specification?
Parts with large ID out-of-specification are charged back to the
vendor at $2.00 each. Parts with
small ID out of specification are charged back at $1.25 each. What
is the total expected penalty
cost (for the vendor) for the 5000 pieces?

An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat uses water as the working fluid. As shown in the figure below, the conditions at the inlet to the first turbine stage are 1600 lbf/in.2, 1200°F and the steam is reheated to a temperature of T3 = 800°F between the turbine stages at a pressure of p3 = p2 = 400 lbf/in.2
For a condenser pressure of p5 =
p4 = 5 lbf/in.2, determine:
(a) the quality of the steam at the second-stage turbine
exit.
(b) the cycle percent thermal efficiency.

A steam turbine receives 8 kg/s of steam at 9 MPa, 650 C and 60
m/s (pressure, temperature
and velocity). It discharges liquid-vapor mixture with a quality of
0.94 at a pressure of 325 kPa
and a velocity of 15 m/s. In addition, there is heat transfer from
the turbine to the surroundings
for 560 kW. Find the power produced by the turbine and express it
in kW.

Cylindrical water tanks are usually found on high-rise buildings and they are filled with water. Due to the weight of the water, collapses occur at the bottom of the tank. Depression (a) in the tank bottom depends on the diameter of the tank (D), the density of the water (c), the acceleration of gravity (g), the height of the water in the tank (h), the thickness of the tank bottom (t) and the modulus of the tank material (E). Using the Buckingham Pi theorem, obtain a functional expression for the collapse of the tank bottom (a).
