A bicycle rider is interested in the effects of temperature on air density. A change in temperature will also affect the tire pressure.
a) Write a computer program that calculates air density at atmospheric pressure for temperatures from -10?C to 50?C.
b) Assume that a bicycle tire is inflated to an absolute pressure of 450 kPa at 20?C. Assume also that the volume of the tire does not change with temperature. Write a program to show how the tire pressure changes with the temperature in the same range, -10?C to 50?C.
Prepare a table or graph or both.

A piston-cylinder assembly has initially a volume of 0.3 m3 of air at 25 oC. Mass of the air is 1 kg. Weights are put on the piston until the air reaches to 0.1 m3 and 1,000 oC, in which the air undergoes a polytropic process (PVn = const). Assume that heat loss from the cylinder, friction of piston, kinetic and potential effects are negligible. 1) Determine the polytropic constant n. 2) Determine the work transfer in kJ for this process, and discuss its direction. 3) Sketch the process in T-V (temperature-volume) diagram.

Engineer Doe is employed on a full-time basis by a radio broadcast equipment manufacturer as a sales representative. In addition, Doe performs consulting engineering services to organizations in the radio broadcast field, including analysis of their technical problems and, when required, recommendation of certain radio broadcast equipment as may be needed. Doe’s engineering reports to his clients are prepared in form for filing with the appropriate governmental body having jurisdiction over radio broadcast facilities. In some cases Doe’s engineering reports recommend the use of broadcast equipment manufactured by his employer. Can Doe ethically provide consulting services as described? What NSPE Code of Ethics references might apply to this case? |

The propeller shaft of a large ship has an outside diameter of 350 mm and inside diameter 250mm. the shaft is rated for a maximum of shear stress 62 MPa.
1) if the shaft is runnning at 500 rpm what is the maximum power that can be transmitted without exceeding allowable stress.
2) if the rotational speed of the shaft is doubled but the power requirements unchanged what happens to the shear stress in the shaft? calculate valures.

As changes across industries driven by Process, People, Technology happen at a rapid pace. The quality management toolkit needs new relevance. The basic principles of Quality Management are still relevant in the 21st century. With examples, outline how enterprises are applying the QM principles such as 1) Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the Enterprise, 2) Respond quickly to employee feedback and implement corrections, 3) Break down barriers between departments and work as a team and 4) Quality is meeting the needs of the customer. Discuss how Data, Process and People are being leveraged for this purpose.
