What negative effects have resulted from the material changes? Consider the full material life cycle.
Would it actually be more sustainable from an environmental, economic, and/or social perspective to return to materials that were used in the past? Why or why not?

As a lab instructor in machining, you are required to
prepare a lab module for a
laboratory session with your students. In this session, the
students are required to
produce aT-Slot. Prepare the methodology to produce the T -Slot
with
illustrations for the lab module.

The total cycle time of an automated fiber placement (AFP) operation (sheet lamination), used to manufacture a section of the airplane fuselage, is 8 hours and 40 minutes. The setup time before the start of the operation is 10 minutes. After each layer is put down, an inspection stage is performed for 5 minutes. The AFP head requires cleaning cycle of 3 minutes every 7 layers.
1. If the part is made of 20 layers, what is the time required (in minutes) to lay down 1 layer? (40 points)
2. What is the percentage of down time for this operation? (30 points)
3. What is the total cycle time (in minutes) for making this part, if the lay down speed was doubled? (30 points)

Air enters a horizontal, constant-diameter heating duct
operating at steady state at 280 K, 1 bar, with a volumetric flow
rate of 0.25 m3/s, and exits at 325 K, 0.95 bar. The
flow area is 0.05 m2.
Assuming the ideal gas model with k = 1.4 for the air,
determine:
(a) the mass flow rate, in kg/s,
(b) the velocity at the inlet and exit, each in m/s, and
(c) the rate of heat transfer to the air, in kW

My MATLAB program won't work. I am trying to get the main program to output a plot of the three equations (1 from the main program and two called in the function). The goal is to code a Euler method and a 2nd order Taylor numerical solution for
a. x0= 1.0 , step size h= 0.2, # of steps n=20
b. x0= 1.0 , step size h=0.05 , # of steps n=80 ; write a separate functionn for f(x,y) that is called. Plot the results on the same plot as the exact solution.
I keep getting an error of "Matrix Dimensions must agree ; error in Project_2(my function) with my Tay = ... equation (2nd order taylor equation).
Main Code
t_span = 1:0.2:5;
h=0.2;
y1 = -4;
B=(t_span.^2);
[x,y] = ode45(@(x,y) y-x^2, t_span, y1);
d=[x,y];
project_2(y1,h,d,B)
subplot(4,1,1)
plot(x,y)
xlabel('value of x')
ylabel('value of y(x)')
grid on
t_span = [1:0.05:5];
y1 = -4;
h=0.05;
[x,y]= ode45(@(x,y) y-x^2, t_span, y1);

A piston–cylinder device contains 0.85 kg of refrigerant-134a at -10°C. The piston that is free to move has a mass of 12 kg and a diameter of 25 cm. The local atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Now, heat is transferred to refrigerant-134a until the temperature is 10°C. Determine (a) the final pressure, (b) the change in the volume of the cylinder, and (c) the change in the enthalpy of the refrigerant-134a.
