Adesign has an expected distribution of stress with a mean value of 1 mpa and a standard deviation of 0.3 mpa. the strength of the design is expected to have a mean value of 2 mpa and a standard deviation of 0.2 mpa. both can be assumed to be normal distributions. what is the expected failure rate of the design?

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?

A21-tooth spur pinion mates with a 28-tooth gear. the diametral pitch is 3 teeth/in and the pressure angle is 20°, find the following values: the addendum, dedendum, circular pitch, tooth thickness, and base circle diameters.
