A disk has 900 cylinders and the capacity of 300 MB. The number of revolutions per minute is 7200 and the seek time (t) as a function of the number of cylinders traveled (x) is t(x)-x [millisecond] (a) Compute the average access time for a contiguous file whose size is 100 MB. (b) Write a simulator that verifies the obtained analytic result. (b) Compute the average access time if this disk uses a cache memory that has the capacity of 1/2 50 MB and the access time of 1 ms

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2

Which of the following refers to refers to how well the control system responds to sudden changes in the system. a)-transient regulation b)- distributed regulation c)-constant regulation d)-steady-state regulation
