you will find out a real-life problem which can be formulated as a linear programming model. After determining and understanding the problem on hand, you will collect the necessary data and develop the linear programming model. Then, you will solve the proposed mathematical model by using GAMS optimization software. After obtaining the optimal solution, you also need to perform sensitivity analysis on this problem. Finally, you will prepare
a report as described below.
Chapter 1 – Problem Definition
Give the detailed problem definition by explaining the following items:
• Motivation of the study.
• Known parameters of the problem.
• Restrictions of the problem.
• Objective of the study.
• Values that should be determined.
Chapter 2 – Linear Programming Model
Give the details of developed linear programming model by explaining the following items: • Indices
Page 1

• Parameters
• Decision Variables
• Objective Function
• Constraints
Explain the objective function and constraints by words.
Chapter 3 – Implementation & Results
In this chapter, please give the information related to your input data. Give the values of parameters (table representation is preferred). Give brief information about the optimization software (GAMS) that you are using. Give the optimal results of your problem (table representation is preferred). Optimal solution and optimal values of decision variables should be explained in detail.
Chapter 4 – Scenario Analysis
For the parameters on hand, you should perform sensitivity analysis. You have to perform sensitivity analysis on at least two parameters of the problem.
For example, you can analyze the effect of increase in the cost to the optimal solution (objective function and values of decision variables). For different increase rates (such as %5, %10, %15, %20, %25, etc.), you can run the model and obtain the results for those increased values. Do the necessary comparisons. Please explain all results and comparisons in detail.
Chapter 5 – Conclusion & Suggestions
Please provide a general conclusion of your project. Do not forget to write some recommendations related to the problem you have studied

There are a variety of leadership styles. Each of the five styles has better applications and uses.
1. Consider the current state of our society (please select either the State or the Country) and identify which of the leadership styles would be the most beneficial for all of society.
2. Clearly identify if you are focusing your analysis on the State you currently live in (for most of us this will be Michigan) or the Country you currently live in (again, most likely the U.S.A.).
3. Explain which leadership style you feel is most appropriate and why you chose it?
4. What are some potential social issues that could arise due to the style of leadership?

You are using a silver spoon to stir water that just started boiling so that you can achieve a more even heat distribution in your water. The spoon is partially immersed in boiling water and a thermometer in your kitchen reads 27 °C. The handle of the spoon has a cross section of 2mm × 1cm and extends 15 cm in the air from the free surface of the water. The heat transfer coefficient at the exposed surfaces of the spoon handle is 3 W/m2 ×K. Part A : Determine the temperature difference across the exposed surface of the spoon handle. Follow the problem-solving guide on the front page. At the minimum, your analysis should answer the following questions providing detailed justifications:

1. What are the modes of heat transfer that the spoon is exposed to?

2. Is this a time dependent or steady state problem? Why or why not?

3. Is this a 1-D, 2-D or 3-D problem? Why or why not?

4. What is the thermal conductivity of the material? Can you assume it constant and if so, for what ranges?

5. The heat transfer coefficient is a function of many variables. Discuss the variables and whether the heat transfer coefficient can be assumed to be constant.
