A photoconductor film is manufactured at a nominal thickness of 25 mils. The product engineer wishes to increase the mean speed of the film and believes that this can be achieved by reducing the thickness of the film to 20 mils. Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured. For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is x1 = 1.15 and s1 = 0.11, and for the 20-mil film the data yield x2 = 1.06 and s2 = 0.09. Note that an increase in film speed would lower the value of the observation in microjoules per square inch.

a. Do the data support the claim that reducing the film thickness increases the mean speed of the film? Use σ = 0.10, and assume that the two population variances are equal and the underlying population of film speed is normally distributed. What is the P-value for this test?

b. Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in the two means that can be used to test the claim in part (a).

In a hot combustion chamber, oxygen diffuses through a stagnant film of air with thickness L to the carbon surface where it reacts to make CO and CO2. The mole fraction of oxygen just outside the stagnant film (z = 0) is 0.21. The reaction may be assumed to be instantaneous. No reaction occurs in the gas film. The chamber is at 1 atm, 1000 K, and L = 10 cm. The diffusivity of oxygen at these conditions is 0.35...
