Answer:

  83.6%

Explanation:

<h3>(a)</h3>

On its current schedule, the plant can theoretically produce ...

  (30 pc/h/machine)(10 machine)(8 h/shift)(2 shift/day)(5 day/wk)(50 wk/yr)

  = (30)(10)(8)(2)(5)(50) pc/yr = 1,200,000 pc/yr

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

On the proposed schedule, this production becomes ...

  (30 pc/mach)(10 mach)(8 h/sh)(3 sh/da)(6 da/wk)(51 wk/yr)

  = (30)(10)(8)(3)(6)(51) pc/yr = 2,203,200 pc/yr

The increase in capacity is ...

  (2,203,200/1,200,000 -1) × 100% = 83.6% . . . capacity increase

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The number of parts per shift did not change. Only the number of shifts per year changed. It went up by a factor of (3/2)(6/5)(51/50) = 1.836. Hence the 83.6% increase in capacity.

We have to assume that maintenance and repair are done as effectvely as before in the reduced down time that each machine has.

What is an isentropic process?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Isentropic process is the process in fluids which have a constant entropy.

Explanation: The  isentropic process is considered as the ideal thermodynamical  process and has both adiabatic as well as reversible processes in internal form.This process supports no transfer of heat and  no transformation of matter .The entropy of the provided mass also remains unchanged or consistent.These processes are usually carried out on material on  the efficient device.
