Exercise 5.3 An electronic scale at an automated filling operation stops the manufacturing line after three underweight packages are detected. Suppose that the probability of an underweight package is 0.01 and fills are independent. 1. Determine the probability mass function of the number of fills (X) before the manufacturing line is stopped. 2. Find the probability that at least 100 fills can be completed before the manufacturing line is stopped. 3. Calculate the mean and variance of X.

Q1: Calculate the dynamic viscosity of an oil, which is used for lubrication between a rectangular plate of size 0.75m x 0.55 m and an inclined plane with angle of inclination 45" as shown in figure 1. The weight of the rectangular plate is 0.5 kN and it slides down the inclined plane with a uniform velocity of 0.35 m/s. The thickness of oil film is 1.75 mm. Then, state the scope for this obtained viscosity? Rec bangular plabe -oil Inclined plane
Energy Loss in Bends and Fittings a) What is the difference between major loss and minor losses in a pipe network? Give at least three examples of minor losses? b) The following information has been collected in the lab during "Head Loss in Bends and Fittings" experiment: Manometer readings for sections before and after a bend: h₁=326 mm and h₂=253 mm Q=0.28 lit/s Pipe diameter 1.83 cm Calculate the head loss coefficient (K) for this bend. - c) Name the fitting from the lab experiment (excluding the valve) that should have the highest head loss and explain why this is the case?

The diagram below shows a pumping system to pump water to an elevated tank. The next page shows the performance curve of a specific type of centrifugal pump. The loss factors at the inlet and outlet are 0.5 and 1.5 respectively while the loss factor associated with the bend is 1.5. The diameter of the pipe is 0.050 m while the total pipe length is 400 m. In order to simplify the calculation you can assume that the friction factor is f= 0.036. Determine the duty point of this pumping system and thus determine the flow rate of the pump for an impeller diameter of 140 mm? Also determine the shaft power of the pump and give an estimate of the pumps efficiency at the duty point. Given that the pump is located 1.80 m above the water surface (1), and the pipe length from inlet to pump is 6.0 m, determine the NPSHA at the pump and state whether cavitation is likely to occur.

Two suppliers manufacture a plastic gear used in a laser printer. The impact strength of these gears measures in foot-pounds is an important characteristic. A random sample of 10 gears from supplier 1 results in x₁ = 290 and s₁ = 12 while another random sample of 16 gears from the second supplier results in x2 = 321 and s₂ = 22. Is there evidence to support the claim that supplier 2 provides gears with higher mean impact strength. Use a =0.04, and assume that both populations are normally distributed with equal variances.
