Suppose the thickness of a certain part is important to a major customer. You want to know how “good” the micrometer you use is, i.e., is the measurement system acceptable? You decide to run a Gage R&R by having 3 operators measure 5 parts 2 times each. You perform the Gage R&R using operators A, B and C. The data from the study are given in Table 1 below. Perform the Gage R&R study and interpret the results.

Machine A was purchased three years ago for $23,000 and had an estimated MV of $2,300 at the end of its 10-year life. Annual operating costs are $2,300. The machine will perform satisfactorily for the next seven years. A salesperson for another company is offering Machine B for $57,000 with an MV of $5,500 after 10 years. Annual operating costs will be $1,500. Machine A could be sold now for $17,000, and MARR is 15% per year. Compare the before-tax equivalent uniform annual cost, EUAC, of the defender (keeping Machine A) to the challenger (buying Machine B). To answer this problem, calculate the value of the difference in annual costs; EUAC(challenger) – EUAC(defender) = EUAC(Machine B) – EUAC(Machine A). (Enter your answer as a number without the dollar $ sign.)

Think about a turboprop engine (explained in the lecture). The turbine-compressor assembly drives a propeller for the propulsion and it delivers net power of 1.1 MW to the prop. This aircraft was designed to fly at 8km altitude with 550 km/h speed. The atmospheric condition up there is 236K and 0.36 bar. Air enters the diffuser and decelerates to 0 km/h for maximizing the ram effect. The compression ratio is 6.3 and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 83%. The turbine has 1360K inlet temperature, and the efficiency is also 83%. The pressure at the turbine exit is 10 kPa higher than the ambient pressure, and assume that the diffuser and nozzle show isentropic behaviors. Kinetic energy except for at the diffuser and the nozzle exit can be neglected. Determine:
a) The mass flow rate in kg/s.
