An automated transfer line is to be designed. Based on previous experience, the average downtime per occurrence = 5.0 min, and t

he probability of a station failure that leads to a downtime occurrence is 0.01. The total work content time = 39.2 min and is to be divided evenly among the workstations, so the ideal cycle time for each station = 39.2/n, where n is the number of workstations.
Determine; (a) the optimum number of stations on the line that will maximize production rate and b) the production rate Rp and proportion uptime for answer to part (a).

Answer:

a) 28 stations

b) Rp = 21.43

E = 0.5

Explanation:

Given:

Average downtime per occurrence = 5.0 min

Probability that leads to downtime, d= 0.01

Total work time, Tc = 39.2 min

a) For the optimum number of stations on the line that will maximize production rate.

Maximizing Rp =minimizing Tp

Tp = Tc + Ftd

=  \frac{39.2}{n} + (n * 0.01 * 5.0)

= \frac{39.2}{n} + (n * 0.05)

At minimum pt. = 0, we have:

dTp/dn = 0

= \frac{-39.2}{n^2} + 0.05 = 0

Solving for n²:

n^2 = \frac{39.2}{0.05} = 784

n = \sqrt{784} = 28

The optimum number of stations on the line that will maximize production rate is 28 stations.

b) Tp = \frac{39.2}{28} + (28 * 0.01 * 5)

Tp = 1.4 +1.4 = 2.8

The production rate, Rp =

\frac{60min}{2.8} = 21.43

The proportion uptime,

E = \frac{1.4}{2.8} = 0.5

A negative pressure respirator brings fresh air to you through a hose<br>A) True<br>B)False​
madreJ [45]

Answer:FALSE

Explanation: A negative pressure respirator is a respiratory system which is known to have a low air pressure inside the mask when compared to the air pressure on the outside during Inhalation.

Most of the personal protective equipment (PPE) which are in use in various industries are examples of Negative pressure respirator device,any leak or damage done to the device will allow the inflows of harmful and toxic Air into the person's respiratory system. AIR SUPPLY SYSTEMS ARE KNOWN TO SUPPLY FRESH UNCONTAMINATED AIR THROUGH AIR STORED INSIDE COMPRESSED CYLINDERS OR OTHER SOURCES AVAILABLE.

Oil of density 780 kg/m3 is flowing at a velocity of 20 m/s at the atmospheric pressure in a horizontal cylindrical tube elevate
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

radius = 0.045 m

Explanation:

Given data:

density of oil = 780 kg/m^3

velocity = 20 m/s

height = 25 m

Total energy is = 57.5 kW

we have now

E = kinetic energy+ potential energy +  flow work

E = \dot m ( \frac{v^2}{2] +  zg + p\nu)

E = \dot m( \frac{v^2}{2] +  zg + p_{atm} \frac{1}{\rho})

57.5 \times 10^3 = \dot m ( \frac{20^2}{2} + 25 \times 9.81 + 101325 \frac{1}{780})

solving for flow rate

\dot m = 99.977we know that [tex]\dot m  = \rho AV

\dot m  = 780 \frac{\pi}{4} D^2\times 16

solving for d

99.97 = 780 \times \frac{\pi}{4} D^2\times 16

d = 0.090 m

so radius = 0.045 m
