Scavenger Hunt: Architectural Features of Steam Service Building Questions: 1)
Examine the Bulkheads in the lobby area and respond to the following questions a)
Capture one or more photographs to document: i)
What are the ceiling heights? How do they compare to the drawings? What material are the ceilings made of? How does the ceiling height change? -
The ceiling heights are similar to what they were in the drawings. They were only off by about 0.3 IN when measured manually. This tolerance could come because of human error (i.e., not even I could measure a 9FT + ceiling correctly without a ladder), dimensions being measured from exterior wall to exterior wall on drawings etc. We were accurate regarding the materials used for the ceiling but off by the size. 2)
Explore corridor Q103 on the first floor
, and answer the following: Ceiling Calculations and Material Assumptions vs. Blueprints In-Person Calculations/Assumptio
ns Blueprints Ceiling Height 11.7 FT 12 FT – 8IN Ceiling Corridor Height 9.81 FT 9FT – 3IN Bulkhead Height 9.58 FT 9 FT Material Assumption for Ceiling(s) Acoustic Gypsum Tile ½” 2FT – 4FT Acoustic Ceiling tile Figure 1: Bulkhead Figure 2: Bulkhead Measurements
a)
Capture one photograph to document:
- The elevation begins to change is 2 FT from the top of the ramp to the bottom of of the ramp. - We took estimates of the concrete missionary units (CMU) and found them to be 8 IN x 6 IN. - The corridor stretches 19 bricks long towards the left-hand side of figure 1. - The hall is estimated to be 12 FT in length and 5.4 FT in width. i)
Estimate the difference in elevation. - The change in elevation was around 3 bricks in depth which totals to be 2.0 FT. 3)
Locate one curtain wall and a punched window in the building (while minimizing disruption to individuals working there) and respond to the following: a)
Capture one or more photographs of the punched window of your choice: i)
Identify the window on the drawing using the window tag. - The first figure is curtain wall type ALG on the drawings. - The second figure is punch window type A9 in the drawings. ii)
Measure its dimensions (length and width) and compare with the drawings. Analyze any discrepancies and speculate on possible reasons. Figure 1: Corridor Q103 Figure 2: Corridor Q103 Length Figure 1: Lobby Curtain Wall Figure 2: Punch Window
- The dimensions of the Punch window are 6.5 FT x 11.8 FT - The punch window that was measure was A10 and the plans dimensions are 6FT – 8IN x 12FT – 0IN. - We were off in measurements by 2 inches. b)
Capture photographs of the curtain wall of your choice: i)
Identify the curtain wall on the drawing using the curtain wall tag. - ii)
Estimate its dimensions (length and width, based on the dimension of a brick or other estimate methods) and compare with the drawings. Analyze any discrepancies and speculate on possible reasons. - In this case the curtain wall within the lobby was estimated using the CMU dimensions of the bricks along the length and width of the window. However, in this case it was customs dimensions. - Using the CMU method of measurement was actually much more successful then thought. We were only off by an inch or two.

Inspect Stair Tower ST 1 and answer the following: a)
Capture one or more photographs to document: i)
What is the height of the basement landing for ST 1? How many stair treads are there from floor Level One up to the first landing? Does the number match the plans? Is there a wall located under the stair landing? - Basement height from ST1: 13.3 Ft - There are 12 stair treads leading from the landing to the next floor. - Does the number match the plans
No, there was 11 in the blueprints. - There is a wall located under the stair landing. There was also a wall in the plans as well. ii)
Measure the height and location of the handrail, then compare it to the drawings, commenting on similarities and differences. -The height of the handrail is 3 FT. - The plans measured the rail to be 2FT – 10IN. We were off by two IN. Figure 1: Stair Tower Measurements Figure 2: Stair Tower Rail Measurements

QUESTION 3
A Type I offshore life jacket (i.e. personal flotation device) is the type worn by commercial fishermen - it is
designed for extended survival in rough, open seawater. Consider such a life jacket that uses an impermeable
foam material with a density of 32 kg/m³ - the other parts of the life jacket (straps, fasteners, etc) weigh 0.6 kg
and are of negligible volume to the design.
a) Draw a free body force diagram for the life jacket.
b) Determine the minimum volume of foam material (in L) that is needed for the life jacket in order to
provide a minimum 98 N net upward force when it is fully submerged in seawater (as required by US
Coast Guard regulations).

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the…

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.

hints:
The flask will be filled with water (at a constant rate of 500 gallons per minute).
It will take me exactly 10 minutes to escape from the chains.
The diameter of the tank at 1 foot intervals.
I am 5 feet 9 inches tall, and I'm pretty skinny so that you can ignore both my volume and the volume of the stool in your analysis.
A gallon is equal to 0.13368 cubic feet.
You can think of the volume and the height of the water as functions of time. You can easily find an expression for V (t), and then use your expression for volume in terms of height to solve for h(t).
after 10 minutes amount of water in the tank=66.84 ft3
t=69.3 minutes
h(t)=e66.84t/100? -1
h(10)=e66.84(10)/100? -1=7.39 ft
Height of stool=1.64 ft
Height of water in the tank=7.39 ft
Questions: show work
How fast is the water rising?
I would like to know how long I will have to hold my breath during the last part of the stunt.

Steam at Tx1 = 320 °C flows in a cast iron pipe (k = 80 W/m. °C) whose inner and outer diameters are
5 cm = 0.05 m and D₂ = 5.5 cm = 0.055 m, respectively. The pipe is covered with 3-cm-thick glass wool
insulation with k = 0.05 W/m. °C. Heat is lost to surroundings at T2 = 5 °C by natural convection and
radiation, with a combined heat transfer coefficient of h₂ = 18 W/m². °C. Taking the heat transfer coefficient
inside the pipe to be h₁ = 60 W/m². °C, determine the temperature drops across the pipe and the insulation.
The determination is based on a unit length of the pipe (L = 1 m).
Assumptions
1. Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is no indication of any change with time.
2.
Heat transfer is one-dimensional since there is thermal symmetry about the centreline and no
variation in the axial direction.
3. Thermal conductivities are constant.
4. The thermal contact resistant at the interface is…

Case Study: Paula’s Pain
Paula has worked for Brindle Corporation for 3 years. During this time, she has worked as a machine operator/cell leader in various work cells. Recently, the plant went to mandatory 12-hour shifts and plans to remain on this schedule for several months.
Paula’s present work cell is manufacturing 3-inch diameter exhaust tubes that are made from stainless steel. These tubes get a hole punched in them, a flange welded on, and burrs ground off. The pipe then gets placed into a gage to check that it was made correctly. (The tubes weigh about six pounds.)
Paula has been performing the welding operation. She leans into the machine and loads the part into a fixture then positions the flange. Both pieces are clamped (using hand clamps) into position and the machine is cycled by depressing two palm buttons.
The gaging operation requires placing the finished part into the gage and clamping it (using hand clamps) into place. A pin is depressed to verify the position…
