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.

What are the four processes of the Carnot cycle? Sketch the Carnot cycle (a) on T-s (temperature - entropy) and P-V (pressure -
Tanya [424]

Answer:

\eta = 0.7315

Explanation:

Carnot cycle

Carnot cycle have four process

1. Iso thermal expansion

2.Reversible adiabatic expansion

3. Iso thermal compression

4.Reversible adiabatic compression

 This is ideal cycle for all work producing devices.All devices have efficiency less than Carnot cycle. Because in Carnot cycle all process is reversible process.

Efficiency of Carnot cycle given as

\eta =1-\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}

But temperature must be in Kelvin

So

\eta =1-\dfrac{288}{1073}

\eta = 0.7315

The moisture in hot, humid, stagnant air surrounding a cold-water pipeline continually diffuses to the cold surface where it con
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The simplest differential form of Fick's flux equation for water vapor is

\frac{1}{r} \frac{d}{dr} (rN_{rA} )=0

Explanation:

Fick's law has to do with the density of the particles is proportional to their concentration gradient. For this question some assumptions will be taken into account:

-The pipe is considered to be very long and diffusion only occurs in the r direction.

-The reaction is not homogeneous, therefore RA = 0

-The concentration of the component A is constant

-No mixing, only diffusion

Due to the complexity of the terms used in solving the Fick equation, the solution is found in the attached file.

A. Briefly describe the microstructural difference between spheroidite and tempered martensite. Explain why tempered martensite
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

A) Both spheroidite & tempered martensite possess sphere - like cementite particles within their microstructure known as a ferrite matrix. However, the difference is that these particles are much larger for spheroidite than tempered.

B) Tempered martensite is much harder and stronger than spheroidite primarily because there is much more ferrite - cementite phase boundary area for its sphere - like cementite particles.

This is because the greater the boundary area, the more the hardness.

You just purchased a 400-L rigid tank for a client who works in the gas industry. The tank is delivered pre-filled with 3 kg of
solniwko [45]

Answer:

the pressure reading when connected a pressure gauge is 543.44 kPa

Explanation:

Given data

tank volume (V) = 400 L i.e 0.4 m³

temperature (T) =  25°C  i.e. 25°C + 273 = 298 K

air mass (m)  = 3 kg

atmospheric pressure  = 98 kPa

To find out

pressure reading

Solution

we have find out pressure reading by gauge pressure

i.e. gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

first we find absolute pressure (p) by the ideal gas condition

i.e pV = mRT

p = mRT / V

p = ( 3 × 0.287 × 298 ) / 0.4

p = 641.44 kPa

so

gauge pressure = absolute pressure - atmospheric pressure

gauge pressure = 641.44 - 98

gauge pressure = 543.44 kPa
