There are two machines for sale that you are considering purchasing for your sawmill to produce hardwood flooring. You want to f

ind the one that has a higher process capability index, or Cpk. The goal is to produce flooring that is between 46 and 50 millimeters thick. The first machine is more accurate on average, producing to a mean of 48 millimeters…but unfortunately it has more variation with a standard deviation of .7 millimeters. The second machine is not as accurate, with a mean of 47mm, but does deliver a more consistent output, with standard deviation of .3mm.

Answer:

Machine 2 has a higher process capability index, it would be best considered for purchase.

Explanation:

Process capability index: Cpk= Min [(mean-L spec)/3sd; (U spec-mean)/3sd]

For machine 1, mean= 48mm and L spec= 46 and U spec= 50, Standard deviation sd= 0.7

Cpk= [0.952;0.952]= 0.952

For machine 2, mean= 47 and L spec= 46 and U spec= 50, Standard deviation sd= 0.3

Cpk= [1.111;3.333]= 1.111

It is clearly observed from the calculations above that the Cpk value of machine 2 is higher than that of machine 1.

Since machine 2 has a higher process capability index, it would be best considered for purchase.

Consider the expansion of a gas at a constant temperature in a water-cooled piston-cylinder system. The constant temperature is
Leona [35]

Answer:

Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

Explanation:

According to the first thermodynamic law, the energy must be conserved so:

dQ = dU - dW

Where Q is the heat transmitted to the system, U is the internal energy and W is the work done by the system.

This equation can be solved by integration between an initial and a final state:

(1) \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU - \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dW

As per work definition:

dW = F*dr

For pressure the force F equials the pressure multiplied by the area of the piston, and considering dx as the displacement:

dW = PA*dx

Here A*dx equals the differential volume of the piston, and considering that any increment in volume is a work done by the system, the sign is negative, so:

dW = - P*dV

So the third integral in equation (1) is:

\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV

Considering the gas as ideal, the pressure can be calculated as P = \frac{n*R*T}{V}, so:

\int\limits^1_2 {- P} \, dV = \int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV

In this particular case as the systems is closed and the temperature constant, n, R and T are constants:

\int\limits^1_2 {- \frac{n*R*T}{V}} \, dV = -nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV

Replacion this and solving equation (1) between state 1 and 2:

\int\limits^1_2 {} \, dQ = \int\limits^1_2 {} \, dU + nRT \int\limits^1_2 {\frac{1}{V}} \, dV

Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT(ln V_{2} - ln V_{1})

Q_{2} - Q_{1} = U_{2} - U_{1} + nRT ln \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}

The internal energy depends only on the temperature of the gas, so there is no internal energy change U_{2} - U_{1} = 0, so the heat exchanged to the system equals the work done by the system:

Q_{in} = W_{out} = nRT ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

An amplifier with 40 dB of small-signal, open-circuit voltage gain, an input resistance of 1 MO, and an output resistance of 100
Vanyuwa [196]

convert 40db to standard gain

AL=10^40/20=100

calculate total voltage gain

=AL×RL/RL+Ri

=83.33

calculate power

Pi=Vi^2/Ri Po=Vo^2/RL

power gain= Po/Pi

=13.90×10^6
