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.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) the inductance of the coil is 6 mH

b) the emf generated in the coil is 18 mV  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

N = 570 turns

diameter of tube d = 8.10 cm = 0.081 m

length of the wire-wrapped portion l =  35.0 cm = 0.35 m

a) the inductance of the coil (in mH)

inductance of solenoid

L = N²μA / l

A = πd²/4  

so

L = N²μ(πd²/4) / l

L = N²μ(πd²) / 4l

we know that μ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ TmA⁻¹

we substitute

L = [(570)² × 4π × 10⁻⁷× ( π × (0.081)² )] / 4(0.35)

L =  0.00841549 / 1.4

L = 6 × 10⁻³ H    

L = 6 × 10⁻³ × 1000 mH

L = 6 mH

Therefore, the inductance of the coil is 6 mH

b)

Emf ( ∈ ) = L di/dt

given that; di/dt = 3.00 A/sec

{∴ di = 3 - 0 = 3 and dt = 1 sec}

Emf ( ∈ ) = L di/dt

we substitute

⇒ 6 × 10⁻³ ( 3/1 )

= 18 × 10⁻³ V

= 18 × 10⁻³ × 1000

= 18 mV  

Therefore, the emf generated in the coil is 18 mV
