A pitfall cited in Section 1.10 is expecting to improve the overall performance of a computer by improving only one aspect of th

e computer. Consider a computer running a program that requires 250 s, with 70 s spent executing FP instructions, 85 s executed L/S instructions and 40 s spent executing branch instructions
(5 min, sec 1.10)By how much is the total time reduced if the time for FP operations is reduced by 20%?


(5 min, sec 1.10) By how much is the time for INT operations reduced if the total time is reduced by 20%?
(5 min, sec 1.10) Can the total time be reduced by 20% by reducing only the time for branch instructions?

Answer:

a) For this case the new time to run the FP operation would be reduced 20% so that means 100-20% =80% from the original time

(1-0.2)*70 s =56s

The reduction on this case is 70-56 s=14s

And since the new total time would be given by 250-14=236 s

b) For this case the total time is reduced 20%  so that means that the new total time would be (1-0.2)=0.8 times the original total time (1-0.2) *250s =200 s

The original time for INT operations is calculated as:

250 = 70+85+40 +t_{INT}

t_{INT}=55s

For this part the only time that was changed is assumed the INT operations so then:

200 = 70+85+40 \Delta t_{INT}

And then: \Delta t_{INT}= 200-70-85-40=5 s

c) A reduction of the total time implies that the total time would be 205 s from the results above. And the time for FP is 70, for L/S is 85 and for INT operations is 55 s, so then if we add 70+85+55=210s, we see that 210>205 so then we cannot reduce the total time 20% just reducing the branch intructions.

Explanation:

From the info given we know that a computer running a program that requires 250 s, with 70 s spent executing FP instructions, 85 s executed L/S instructions and 40 s spent executing branch instructions.

Part 1

For this case the new time to run the FP operation would be reduced 20% so that means 100-20% =80% from the original time

(1-0.2)*70 s =56s

The reduction on this case is 70-56 s=14s

And since the new total time would be given by 250-14=236 s

Part 2

For this case the total time is reduced 20%  so that means that the new total time would be (1-0.2)=0.8 times the original total time (1-0.2) *250s =200 s

The original time for INT operations is calculated as:

250 = 70+85+40 +t_{INT}

t_{INT}=55s

For this part the only time that was changed is assumed the INT operations so then:

200 = 70+85+40 \Delta t_{INT}

And then: \Delta t_{INT}= 200-70-85-40=5 s

And we can quantify the decrease using the relative change:

\% Change = \frac{5s}{55 s} *100 = 9.09\% of reduction

Part 3

A reduction of the total time implies that the total time would be 205 s from the results above. And the time for FP is 70, for L/S is 85 and for INT operations is 55 s, so then if we add 70+85+55=210s, we see that 210>205 so then we cannot reduce the total time 20% just reducing the branch intructions.

Determine the angular acceleration of the uniform disk if (a) the rotational inertia of the disk is ignored and (b) the inertia
lukranit [14]

Answer:

α = 7.848 rad/s^2  ... Without disk inertia

α = 6.278 rad/s^2  .... With disk inertia

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of the disk, M = 5 kg

- The right hanging mass, mb = 4 kg

- The left hanging mass, ma = 6 kg

- The radius of the disk, r = 0.25 m

Find:-

Determine the angular acceleration of the uniform disk without and with considering the inertia of disk

Solution:-

- Assuming the inertia of the disk is negligible. The two masses ( A & B )  are hung over the disk in a pulley system. The disk is supported by a fixed support with hinge at the center of the disk.

- We will make a Free body diagram for each end of the rope/string ties to the masses A and B.

- The tension in the left and right string is considered to be ( T ).

- Apply newton's second law of motion for mass A and mass B.

                      ma*g - T = ma*a

                      T - mb*g = mb*a

Where,

* The tangential linear acceleration ( a ) with which the system of two masses assumed to be particles move with combined constant acceleration.

- g: The gravitational acceleration constant = 9.81 m/s^2

- Sum the two equations for both masses A and B:

                      g* ( ma - mb ) = ( ma + mb )*a

                      a =  g* ( ma - mb ) / ( ma + mb )

                      a = 9.81* ( 6 - 4 ) / ( 6 + 4 ) = 9.81 * ( 2 / 10 )

                      a = 1.962 m/s^2  

- The rope/string moves with linear acceleration of ( a ) which rotates the disk counter-clockwise in the direction of massive object A.

- The linear acceleration always acts tangent to the disk at a distance radius ( r ).

- For no slip conditions, the linear acceleration can be equated to tangential acceleration ( at ). The correlation between linear-rotational kinematics is given below :

                     a = at = 1.962 m/s^2

                     at = r*α      

Where,

           α: The angular acceleration of the object ( disk )

                    α = at / r

                    α = 1.962 / 0.25

                    α = 7.848 rad/s^2                                

- Take moments about the pivot O of the disk. Apply rotational dynamics conditions:

             

                Sum of moments ∑M = Iα

                 ( Ta - Tb )*r = Iα

- The moment about the pivots are due to masses A and B.

 

               Ta: The force in string due to mass A

               Tb: The force in string due to mass B

                I: The moment of inertia of disk = 0.5*M*r^2

                   ( ma*a - mb*a )*r = 0.5*M*r^2*α

                   α = ( ma*a - mb*a ) / ( 0.5*M*r )

                   α = ( 6*1.962 - 4*1.962 ) / ( 0.5*5*0.25 )

                   α = ( 3.924 ) / ( 0.625 )

                   α = 6.278 rad/s^2

In normal operation, a paper mill generates excess steam at 20 bar and 400◦C. It is planned to use this steam as the feed to a t
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The maximum power that can be generated is 127.788 kW

Explanation:

Using the steam table

Enthalpy at 20 bar = 2799 kJ/kg

Enthalpy at 2 bar = 2707 kJ/kg

Change in enthalpy = 2799 - 2707 = 92 kJ/kg

Mass flow rate of steam = 5000 kg/hr = 5000 kJ/hr × 1 hr/3600 s = 1.389 kg/s

Maximum power generated = change in enthalpy × mass flow rate = 92 kJ/kg × 1.389 kg/s = 127.788 kJ/s = 127.788 kW

if you had 100 B size sheets and you cut them into A size sheets, how many sheets of A size paper would you have
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

200

Explanation:

A size sheets (also known as letter size) are 8.5 inches by 11 inches.

B size sheets (also known as ledger size) are 11 inches by 17 inches.

One B size sheet is twice as large as a A size sheet.  So if you have 100 B size sheets and cut each one in half, you'll get 200 A size sheets.
