Using the Lumen Method to find out how many fittings are required for a square conference room which requires 500 lux from CIBSE Guide, of area 200 m2, using the T5 fluorescent fittings at 1.2 meter long each and at 2 m high measured from the light source to the working surface.
The 1.2m T5 luminaire has 2700 lumens each.
Your answer should mention about all the light losses, say, due to surface reflectance at ceiling, wall and floor, light loss factor, maintenance factor, etc,.

A manufacturing process produces piston rings, with ID (inner diameter) dimension as shown above. Process variation causes the ID to be normally distributed, with a mean of 10.021 cm and a standard deviation of 0.040 cm. a. What percentage of piston rings will have ID exceeding 10.075 cm? What percentage of piston rings will have ID exceeding 10.080 cm? (4) b. What is the probability that a piston ring will have ID between 9.970 cm and 10.030 cm? (This is the customer’s specification that the supplier tries to provide .) (ie.) If the specification is “9.970cm < ID < 10.030cm”, what %’age of piston rings are “out of spec”? c. Half (50%) of all piston rings have ID below 10.021 cm. What is the dimension corresponding to the smallest 10%, and what is the dimension corresponding to the largest 10%? What is the dimension corresponding to the smallest 20%, and what is the dimension corresponding to the largest 20%

  1. (10 pts) Air (R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K) enters the compressor of a simple Brayton cycle at 94 kPa and 7oC. The pressure ratio is 19.2, the compressor efficiency is 81%, the turbine inlet temperature is 1600 K and the turbine isentropic efficiency is 85%. The mass flow rate is 21 kg/s. Using variable specific heat analysis, determine:
    1. (2 pts) The power input to the compressor, in kW.
    2. (2 pts) The rate of heat input in the combustion chamber, in kW.
    3. (3 pts) The net power produced by the engine, in kW.
    4. (1 pt) The overall efficiency
    5. (2 pts) The density of the air exiting the compressor, in kg/m3.

  1. A device used to expose fighter pilots to high g’s that they might experience in action incorporates a small cockpit on the end of a 50 ft. long radial shaft that is attached to the cg. of the cockpit. The cockpit and pilot weigh 600 lb total. If there is a motor that provides a torque of 1000*sqrt(t) ft-lb to the system, calculate the following:
    1. How fast does the cockpit have to travel to produce 6 g’s?
    2. How long does the system take to get to that speed?

Assume you have a metal alloy - an aluminum alloy for example - that has been welded and then heat treated in a way that leaves you uncertain as to the microstructure. Since the component is to be used for a critical application, you want to be sure of both the structure and mechanical properties. You want to create a single phase structure so that you can "start over" with a new heat treat cycle to more exactly and carefully create the desired properties. What type of heat treatment would you use to create the single phase structure?
