Cooling method for gas turbines. Refer to the Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power (January 2005) study of gas turbines augmented with high-pressure inlet fogging, Exercise 7.94 (p. 407). The researchers classified gas turbines into three categories: traditional, advanced, and aeroderivative. Summary statistics on heat rate (kilojoules per kilowatt per hour) for each of the three types of gas turbines are shown in the Minitab printout (at the top of the next page).
- a. Is there sufficient evidence of a difference between the
mean heat rates of traditional augmented gas turbines and aeroderivative augmented gas turbines? Test using α = .05. - b. Is there sufficient evidence of a difference between the mean heat rates of advanced augmented gas turbines and aeroderivative augmented gas turbines? Test using α = .05.
- c. Conduct a test (at α = .05 ) for equality of heat rate variances for traditional and aeroderivative augmented gas turbines. Use the result to make a statement about the validity of the inference derived in part a.
- d. Conduct a test (at α = .05 ) for equality of heat rate variances for advanced and aeroderivative augmented gas turbines. Use the result to make a statement about the validity of the inference derived in part b.

In the laboratory, it varied the insulation thickness and temperature. A few of the findings are: Monthly Natural Gas Consumption (cubic feet), Thickness of Outdoor Insulation Temperature (OF), (inches), X1 X2 30.3 6. 40 26.9 12 40 22.1 49 On the basis of the sample results, the regression equation is: ŷ = 62.65 – 1.86x, – 0.52x2 a. How much natural gas can homeowners expect to use per month if they install 6 inches of insulation and the outdoor temperature is 40 degrees F? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

- The article "Mathematical Modeling of the Argon-Oxygen Decarburization Refining Process of Stainless Steel: Part II. Application of the Model to Industrial Practice" (J. Wei and D. Zhu, Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B, 2001:212-217) presents the carbon content (in mass %) and bath temperature (in K) for 32 heats of austenitic stainless steel. These data are shown in the following table. Carbon % Temp. 1975 19 23 1947 22 1954 16 1992 17 1965 18 1971 12 2046 24 1945 17 1984 20 1991arrow_forwardPepsi Cans. In Exercises 5-8, refer to the axial loads (pounds) of aluminum Pepsi cans that are 0.0109 in. thick, as listed in Data Set 30 “Aluminum Cans” in Appendix B. An axial load of a can is the maximum weight supported by the side, and it is important to have an axial load high enough so that the can isn’t crushed when the top lid is pressed onto the top. There are seven measurements from each of 25 days of production. If the 175 axial loads are in one column, the first 7 are from the first day, the next 7 are from the second day, and so on, so that the “subgroup size” is 7. Pepsi Cans: R Chart Treat the seven measurements from each day as a sample and construct an R chart.

The approach has proven useful in the past, but the owner has their business objective of developing a more accurate method of predicting labor hours. In a preliminary effort to provide a more accurate method, the owner has decided to use the number of cubic feet moved as the independent variable and has collected data for 36 moves. The data is seen below: Hours Feet 24.00 545 13.50 400 26.25 562 25.00 540 9.00 220 20.00 344 22.00 569 11.25 340 50.00 900 12.00 285 38.75 865 40.00 831 19.50 344 18.00 360 28.00 750 27.00 650 21.00 415 15.00 275 25.00 557 45.00 1028 29.00 793 21.00 523 22.00 564 16.50 312 37.00 757 32.00 600 34.00 796 25.00 577…arrow_forward

- An investigation was conducted into the dust content in the flue gases of two types of solid-fuel boilers. Thirteen boilers of type A and nine boilers of type B were used under identical fueling and extraction conditions. Over a similar period, the quantities of dust were deposited in similar traps inserted in each of the twenty-two flues. Presented below are the collected dust content (in grams) given the source broiler type.
