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.

A very large plate is placed equidistant between two vertical walls. The 10-mm spacing between the plate and each wall is filled
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Force per unit plate area is 0.1344 N/m^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

The spacing between each wall and the plate, d = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Absolute viscosity of the liquid, \mu =1.92\times 10^{- 3} Pa-s

Speed, v = 35 mm/s = 0.035 m/s

Now,

Suppose the drag force that exist between each wall and plate is F and F' respectively:

Net Drag Force = F' + F''

F = \tau A

where

\tau = shear stress

A = Cross - sectional Area

Therefore,

Net Drag Force, F = (\tau ' +\tau '')A

\frac{F}{A} = \tau ' +\tau ''

Also

F = \frac{\mu v}{d}

where

\mu = dynamic coefficient of viscosity

Pressure, P = \frac{F}{A}

Therefore,

\frac{F}{A} = \frac{\mu v}{d} + \frac{\mu v}{d} = 2\frac{\mu v}{d}

\frac{F}{A} = 2\frac{1.92\times 10^{- 3}\times 0.035}{0.010} = 0.01344 N/m^{2}

A flywheel performs each of these functions except: A. Contains a gear used for engine starting B. Smoothes engine operation C.
torisob [31]

Answer:

C. Provides lubrication to parts

Explanation:

Flywheel :

 Flywheel is a device which stored the mechanical energy.This energy can be use when more energy required during any operation.Due to high moment of inertia of the flywheel it resist the change in the speed .The flywheel is attached to the crank shaft at the rear side of the engine.

The flywheel perform following function:

1. It connects the crankshaft and the transmission system.

2.It makes the engine operation smooth.

3.It contains gear and other parts of the engine.

But it can not provide lubrication.

C. Provides lubrication to parts
