It is the year 2025. Every rental car now transmits data to rental company headquarters every 5 seconds.

The data transmitted is:

(i) Current latitude to nearest 1/100 of a degree e. g. 34.12N

(ii) Current longitude to the nearest 1/100 of a degree e. g., 117.54W

(iii) Current speed in mph (0..127)

(iv) Current direction in degrees from North (0..359)

(v) Position of transmission lever (P, N, D, R or L)

(a) How many bits per minute are transmitted from each vehicle?

(b) To the nearest day, how long would it take for the data from a fleet of 200 vehicles to fill a one gigabyte (230 bytes) storage card?

Manometers are good examples of measuring instruments, nowadays they are not as common as before. a)-capacitive probe gauges b)-gravitational gauges deformation ) gauges d)-digital gauges

The flow rate of air through a through a pipe is 0.02 m5/s. a pitot static tube is placed in the flow. the radius of the pitot static tube is 1 mm. assuming the flow to be steady and the air to be at 300k, calculate the difference in total and static pressure if the diameter of the pipe is: (a) d 0.1 m d 0.05 m (c) d 0.01 m

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
