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.
Answer:
a) 8kW
b) $128
Explanation:
Given the coefficient of performance of the heat pump cycle to be 2.5
Energy delivered by the heat pump = 20kW
a) net power required to operate the heat pump = Energy delivered / coefficient of performance
Net power required = 20/2.5
= 8kW
b) Given the cost of electricity is $0.08 for 1kWhour
Since net power required to operate heat pump = 8kW
If the heat pump operate for 200hours, total power required for a month = 8kW×200hours = 1600kWhour
since 1kWh of electricity costs $0.08, cost of electricity used in a month when the pump operates for 200hour will be 1600kWh×$0.08 which is equivalent to $128
Answer:
The average thickness of the blubber is<u> 0.077 m</u>
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the average thickness of the Walrus blubber.
We employ a mathematical formula to calculate this;
The rate of heat transfer(H) through the Walrus blubber = dQ/dT = KA(T2-T1)/L
Where dQ is the change in amount of heat transferred
dT is the temperature gradient(change in temperature) i.e T2-T1
dQ/dT = 220 W
K is the conductivity of fatty tissue without blood = 0.20 (J/s · m · °C)
A is the surface area which is 2.23 m^2
T2 = 37.0 °C
T1 = -1.0 °C
L is ?
We can rewrite the equation in terms of L as follows;
L × dQ/dT = KA(T2-T1)
L = KA(T2-T1) ÷ dQ/dT
Imputing the values listed above;
L = (0.2 * 2.23)(37-(-1))/220
L = (0.2 * 2.23 * 38)/220 = 16.948/220 = 0.077 m
Answer:
All machines have three fundamental hazards: moving parts, point of operation, and the power transmission.
Explanation:
The unit that supplies power to the machine is a critical hazard due to high energy sources being potential fatal if proper protocols are not followed. This is why lockout tagout (LOTO) measures are put in place in order to protect people while they work on equipment.
