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.

If the maximum allowable shear stress is 70 MPa, find the shaft diameter needed to transmit 40 kW when the shaft speed is 250 rp
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The diameter is 50mm

Explanation:

The answer is in two stages. At first the torque (or twisting moment) acting on the shaft and needed to transmit the power needs to be calculated. Then the diameter of the shaft can be obtained using another equation that involves the torque obtained above.

T=(P×60)/(2×pi×N)

T is the Torque

P is the the power to be transmitted by the shaft; 40kW or 40×10³W

pi=3.142

N is the speed of the shaft; 250rpm

T=(40×10³×60)/(2×3.142×250)

T=1527.689Nm

Diameter of a shaft can be obtained from the formula

T=(pi × SS ×d³)/16

Where

SS is the allowable shear stress; 70MPa or 70×10⁶Pa

d is the diameter of the shaft

Making d the subject of the formula

d= cubroot[(T×16)/(pi×SS)]

d=cubroot[(1527.689×16)/(3.142×70×10⁶)]

d=0.04808m or 48.1mm approx 50mm

N76 [4]

Answer:

the base-emitter junction is open and the emitter resistor is open

Explanation:

Because here there will be no base current only when the the base emitter junction is kept open and. Also when emitter resistor is kept open or with thus there will be no voltage drop across the Resistor meaning the base voltage Will be equal to that in the voltage divider circuitry

Semiconductor pn junction diode and zener diode quiz questions
suter [353]

1.) A semiconductor is a device whose conductivity lies between the conductivity of the conductors and the insulators.

2.) A Zener diode is a semiconductor device made of silicon that allows current to flow in both directions.

<h3>What is a semiconductor?</h3>

A semiconductor is a device whose conductivity lies between the conductivity of the conductors and the insulators.

Due to the inclusion of an impurity or temperature effects, a solid substance with conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals. Semiconductor devices, particularly silicon devices, are key components of most electronic circuits.

Zener diode:-

A Zener diode is a semiconductor device made of silicon that allows current to flow in both directions.
