Write 1 to 2 typed pages, double spaced to address the following issues:
1. Who was responsible for the malfunctioning of the system?
2. Was an adequate solution developed for this problem? Explain your answer.
Multidata is responsible for the malfunctioning of the system because there were
many errors. When the blocks were tested as one, two, or four of different shapes as a
single block there would be many miscalculations. Although the doctors changed the
software, which made the radiation therapy machine miscalculate there were zero
warnings of miscalculations from the software. The hospital did not do any manual
checks on the software’s calculations, which could have shown the wrong dosages. The
hospital stated that they had over a hundred patients to take care of and the whole
purpose of the software is to save time and treat the patients as quickly as possible.
The FDA inspected Multidata in 2001 and found out that there were six complaints and
many wrong calculations with the software. Multidata knew about the software failure
since September 1992 and did nothing to fix the problem. Therefore Multidata is
responsible for the miscalculations of the dosages given to patients. The only adequate
solution developed for the software miscalculations was the FDA investigating Multidata
and finding out that they have known about the problem since 1992. Multidata decided
to sign a consent decree with the FDA stating that they would not sell software for
radiation therapy devices in the United States.

|Read the problem statement and the solution provided. There may or may not be one or more
mistakes in the solution. Go through the solution carefully and then do the following.
1. State if the solution is correct or incorrect
2. If the solution is incorrect, identify what is the mistake in the solution. Be specific and succinct.
3. If the solution is incorrect, provide the final solution with appropriate steps. You can make the
corrections directly on a copy of this provided solution, but make sure you clearly explain the
corrections.
Problem: Consider fully-developed flow of water through a 24-cm diameter tube. The water comes in at
20°C and exits at 40°C. The surface temperature of the tube is uniform at 60°C. The water flow has a
mass flow rate of 0.24 kg/s. What is the average convection coefficient of the water flow?
Solution: We have T, = 60°C, Tmi = 20°C, Tmo = 40°C, So, the bulk-mean temperature is Tm = 30°C.
The appropriate properties are: u = 7.98 × 10-4 kg/ms;
k = 0.615…

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 Ti-6Al-4V…

A new electronic component for aircraft is tested to withstand temperatures as low as -50°F. One engineer suggests that the device cannot actually stand temperatures that low. What are the Type I and Type II errors?
Type I: The device CAN NOT withstand temperatures as low as -50F but the engineer incorrectly finds that it CAN.Type II: The device CAN withstand temperatures as low as -50F but the engineer incorrectly finds that it CAN NOT.
Type I: The device CAN withstand temperatures as low as -50F but the engineer incorrectly finds that it CAN NOT.Type II: The device CAN NOT withstand temperatures as low as -50F but the engineer incorrectly finds that it CAN.

Steam at T1 = 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…

A nearsighted eye is corrected by placing a diverging lens in front of the eye. The lens will create a virtual image of a distant object at the far point (the farthest an object can be from the eye and still be in focus) of the myopic viewer where it will be clearly seen. In the traditional treatment of myopia, an object at infinity is focused to the far point of the eye. If an individual has a far point of 39.5 cm, prescribe the correct power of the lens that is needed. Assume that the distance from the eye to the lens is negligible.
