Consider a machine that has a natural process time of 1 minute (deterministic) when it works but is subject to failures with MTTF=100 minutes and MTTR=10 minutes. Assume cr=1. This machine receives parts every 1.5 minutes from the previous process (deterministic).

a. What is the availability of this machine?

    

b. What is the average effective process time, te, for this machine?

c. What is the squared coefficient of variation of the process time, ce2?

d. How long does the average part wait in queue in front of this machine before being served?

Suppose you are observing parts come out of this machine.

e. What is the average rate with which parts depart this machine and arrive to the next machine?

f. What is the squared coefficient of variation of inter-departure times from this machine?

Water flowing at a rate of 0.667 kg/s (Cp = 4.192 kJ/kg. K) enters a counter current heat exchanger at 318 K and is heated by an oil stream entering at 393 K at a rate of 2.85 kg/s (Cp=1.89 kJ/kg. K). The overall U=290 W/m2. K and the area A=20 m2. Calculate the heat transfer rate and the exit water temperature.

Plot longitudinal tensile strength of an E-glass/epoxy unidirectionally reinforced composite as a function of volume fraction of fiber and assuming tensile strength follows a volume rule of additivity.

E-glass: modulus = 72.4 GPa, tensile break strength = 2.4 GPa, break strain = 2.6%

epoxy: modulus = 3.5 GPa, tensile break strength = 45 MPa, break strain = 1.28%

1. An aluminum circular cylinder 50 mm in diameter with ends insulated is initially at 100◦C. Approximate the temperature at the center of the cylinder after 2 s if the lateral surface is kept at 0◦C.For aluminum, k = 8.6 × 10−5m2 /s.

2. A circular cylinder 1 m in radius is completely insulated and has an initial temperature distribution 100r ◦C. Find an expression for the temperature as a function of r and t. Write integral expressions for at least three coefficients in the series expansion.

In one batch of nickel (Ni)-plated cast iron components, you observed that there were minute pores in the Ni surface coating growing down to the cast iron surface.Should you allow this batch of nickel (Ni)-plated cast iron components be used for a water treatment application? Will the component be susceptible to corrosion and what form of corrosion could occur?
