A spent nuclear rod 2 m in length and 20 cm in diameter is encased in concrete, a cylinder 2 m long and 40 cm in diameter. The spent rod generates heat at a rate of 2700 W/m³. For radiation shielding the rod should be buried as deep as possible, however, the surface temperature of the rod should not exceed 200°C. If the thermal conductivity of the soil is 0.27 W/m-K, how deep can the rod be buried?

Company ABC is planning to introduce a new advanced model for their Juice Maker product. The process is mainly fabrication of parts followed by assembly of the final product. The design team of the company is assigned to perform the following tasks. Show how the data is obtained (survey, literature, actual from records). Justify any assumptions used in your analyses. Strategy 1. To set strategy of the operation function based on the following: a. Quality as OQD and cost as OWD. b. The company position itself based on cost. c. The company policy of minimizing use of natural materials to be adopted and deployed. Product Design 2. To design the new model of the product based on the following analyses: a. Use of QFD as a design tool.
Kasapreku Distilleries Ghana Ltd, a liquor Production Company located in Ghana had a major contract to supply alcoholic beverage to a neighboring country within one week deadline. In the course of production, there was a major breakdown which led to a long downtime resulting in missing out on the deadline.
