Which option can John use for transferring materials between machining centers and inspection centers in his factory? John needs to implement a flexible manufacturing system. He plans to do away with the fixed mechanisms in his factory that are used to transfer parts and materials and employ various BLANK
to navigate without human drivers. They will be used to transfer materials between machining centers and inspection stations.

Aplate of dimensions 3 m x 3 m is placed 0.37 mm apart from a fixed plate. the plate requires a force of 2n to move at speed of 45 cm/s. evaluate the viscosity of the fluid in between the plates

Arigid tank contains 10 kg of air at 137 kpa (abs) and 21°c. more air is added to the tank until the pressure and temperature rise to 242 kpa (abs) and 32°c, respectively. determine the amount of air added to the tank. [r-0.287 kj/kg k]

The catalogue for a refrigerant 22, four-cylinder, hermetic compressor operating at 29 r/s. a condensing temperature of 40°c and an evaporating temperature of -4°c shows a refrigeration capacity of 115 kw. at this operating point, the motor (its efficiency is 90 percent) draws 34.5 kw. the bore of the cylinders is 87 mm and the piston stroke is 70 mm. the performance data are based on 8°c of sub-cooling of the liquid leaving the condenser. compute (a) the actual volumetric efficiency and (b) the compression efficiency.
