The Acme Widget Company has generally followed a relative conservative business model and has done well. Their sales have been relatively stable over the past decade and represent about 40% of the powered widget market, with widgets operating on conventional fossil fuels – gasoline, diesel, and propane. One of the founders of the company recently passed on his voting stock to his son, who advocates moving the company in a new direction. He wants the company to pursue a new business opportunity with the design and manufacture of widgets that employ alternative energy sources. You have been hired as a consulting engineer by the company to help them decide if they should go forward. While you know next to nothing about powered widgets, they believe you can help them perform an objective RWW analysis.  

Describe in some detail how you would go about leading this analysis: what questions would you have for the company personnel, what other sources of data might you want to use and what information would you attempt to gather from these sources? Incorporate as many of the tools we have explored this semester as you feel apply. For example: Is the Design for X Spiderweb graphic relevant for this analysis? What role might forecasting techniques play? How important is it to be able to quantify various factors at each stage of the analysis?

Air enters a heating section at 100 kPa, 9^oC, 45% relative humidity at rate of 10m³/min, and it leaves at 22^oC. Determine (a) the rate of heat transfer (Q^?) in the heating section and (b) the relative humidity (??) at the exit. (c) What-if Scenario: What would the relative humidity at the exit be if the relative humidity of the mixture changed to 75%?

Briefly describe how a Design of Experiments methodology can be used when testing a new pump design that has three variables (number of impeller blades, channel depth, outlet diameter). Why would a factorial design of experiments be better than optimizing each variable independently?

if the pilot light on a gas water heater will not stay lit... what seem to be the problem?

From an iron-carbon phase diagram, plotted in terms of weight percent carbon:

A) What is the composition in weight percent of the iron-carbon alloy that has the lowest melting temperature? What is this melting temperature?

B) What is the composition in weight percent of the iron-carbon alloy that has the eutectoid composition? What is the eutectoid temperature?

C) What is the lowest temperature and weight percent carbon at which any iron-carbon alloy shows any amount of delta phase?

D) A particular iron-carbon alloy shows a final microstructure after slow cooling that consists of 80% proeutectoid ferrite and 20% pearlist. What is the carbon composition of this alloy, in weight percent?

E) At what temperature would the alloy from part d become all single-phase austentite on heating?

F) At what temperature would the alloy from part d become all liquid on heating?

The following information is for a proposed project that will provide the capability to produce a specialized product estimated to have a short market (sales) life before new technology, known to be in the R&D stage, makes it obsolete:

• Capital investment of $1,000,000, composed of $420,000 of depreciable equipment and $580,000 of non-depreciable capital (land, working capital, etc.)

• Assume that the depreciable property is in the MACRS (GDS) three-year property class.

• The study period is 3 years

• Annual operating and maintenance costs are $636,000 in the first year and increase at a rate of 6% per year.

• The estimated salvage value at the end of year 3 is $280,000

• The effective tax rate (combined federal and state) is 38%

• Assume that the recovered capital (salvage value – book value) is taxed at the same rate as taxable revenue

• After tax MARR is 10% Based on an after-tax analysis using net present value, what is the minimum amount of uniform annual revenue required to justify the project economically?

Consider a vapor power cycle as shown below. Steam enters the first turbine stage at 12 MP a, 480 oC, and expands to 2 MP a. Some steam is extracted at 2 MP a and fed to the closed heater. The remainder expands through the second-stage turbine to 0.3 MP a, where an additional amount is extracted and fed into the open heater operating at 0.3 MP a. The steam expanding through the third-stage turbine enters the condenser at a pressure of 6 kP a and leaves the condenser as saturated liquid at 6 kP a. Liquid water leaves the closed heater at 210 oC, 12 MP a, and condensate exiting as saturated liquid at 2 MP a is trapped into the open heater. Saturated liquid at 0.3 MP a leaves the open heater. Assume all pumps and turbine stages operate isentropically. Determine for the cycle: (a) the heat transfer to the working fluid passing through the steam generator, in MW, (b) the heat transfer from the working fluid passing through the condenser, in MW, (c) the thermal efficiency (%), and (d) sketch a T ?s diagram for the entire cycle with labeled states, isobars, and process directions

1. Two samples of a low hardness steel were tested using a Rockwell C hardness tester and the Rockwell B scale at the same lab on the same day. The difference between the average hardness of the two samples was 0.5 Rockwell C. Do you think there is a significant difference in the hardness? Justify your answer.

2. Two manufacturers produce a steel. Manufacturer B claims their steel is better than manufacturer A because their average Rockwell B hardness is 68.4 HRBW while that of manufacturer B is 60.5 HRBW. Do you think there is a significant difference in their hardness? Justify your answer. Hint: Use the specification!!

3. Find an important engineering failure that involves some of the topics discussed in MSE 350. Describe the failure, why it occurred, the damage (human, environmental, and economic) and the changes that could have been made in the design to avoid the failure. Was the failure caused by lack of engineering knowledge at the time, engineering error, or management/government error? Discuss!!

4.

For each of the following common items, identify what they are commonly made of, the material type (composite, metal, semiconductor, polymer <thermoplastic, thermoset or elastomer>, ceramic, glass. Describe why that material type is used. Include at least two references for your answers (websites are fine, but try and find good ones). If more than one material type is used in the items, include them all! Be careful to use proper engineering vocabulary when answering this question!
