Considering quantitative risk assessment, what is one of the most significant disadvantages to project crashing?

reference to source question https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/question-4-production-manager-electronic-toys-company-et-co-begin-project-design-productio-q29681067

This is not an incomplete question it is asking in genereal what is the disadvantages of project crashing. where disadvantages are that it is expensive and can cause failure to activities and effect the whole project. the part i do not understand is answering the question with reference to quantitative risk assessment.

Nitrogen gas is contained in a rigid 1-m3 tank, initially at 5 bar, 300 K. Heat transfer to the contents of the tank occurs until the temperature has increased to 400 K. During the process, a pressure-relief valve allows nitrogen to escape, maintaining constant pressure in the tank. Neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, and using the ideal gas model with constant specific heats evaluated at 350 K, determine (a) the mass of nitrogen that escapes, in kg, and (b) the amount of energy transfer by heat, in kJ.

(HVAC)

For a specific building with a specific user, we have calculated the heating load.

if we use deferent heat provider such as hot water,gas heaters or radiators , would it be a change in calculated heating load?? in other words Is the calculation of heating load independent of the type of heating system?

A simple ideal Rankine cycle with water as the working fluid operates between the pressure limits of 4 MPa in the boiler and 5 kPa in the condenser and a turbine inlet temperature of 700°C. The boiler is sized to provide a steam flow of 50 kg/s. Determine the power produced by the turbine and consumed by the pump. Use steam tables.

Find the values of power produced by the turbine and consumed by the pump in kW

Water flows in a horizontal pipe of d1=100 mm with a velocity wt=1m/s and pressure p1=90 kPa. It enters a pipe reduction to a diameter d2=50 mm. Pressure after the pipe reduction drops to p2=80 kPa while temperature is unchanged. Find entropy generation rate in the zone of the pipe reduction. Assume that the surroundings is at Ts=20?C and pressure is ps=80kPa and the steady state is considered. What will be the exit pressure after the pipe reduction if the process was reversible? Water density is ?=1000kg/m^3. Specific enthalpy and entropy of the water can be calculated from formulae: h=href+cT[K]+?(?-?ref), where c=4.19 KJ/(kgK).

(Computer memory) (Computer-integrated Manufacturing)

A retail store uses a CD ROM with 700 MB capacity to store its products name, specification and manufacturer information. On the average, including the spaces between words, the products names are 15 letters long. The product specification and manufacturer information require 60 and 30 letters each. An additional 200 letters is required for retailer tracking information.

How many CDs are necessary for 1,000,000 products?

1. Find a picture on the internet that shows the underlying structure of an aircraft wing and discuss how it is similar to the box beam concept.

2.The box beam concept handles bending and torsional loads. Consider and discuss what structural elements we have explored so far in this course that address these loads. Hint: there are two (one for bending and one for torsion). Also, please include the following in the discussion.

Depending on the air vehicle performance requirements a wing’s thickness is different. For example, a lower speed vehicle such as a large transport aircraft (e.g., B-747) will have a thicker wing compared to a fighter aircraft. The reasons for this are beyond the scope of this course.

Consider the I-beam concept we have been exploring in this module. Discuss what happens as the wing thickness changes. For example, what is the variable in the bending equation that is effected as the wing thickness changes?

How could the allowable stress level be managed for the different wing structures (i.e., what happens to the skin thickness, which is the upper part of the box beam)?
