Question 2: (Power law and sizing function)
A company that produces high efficiency Fraction Horsepower DC motors. Started four years ago by producing
both of 0.20, and 0.35 HP motors at the cost of $15 and $20 for each respectively. At that time the relevant
Cost Index was 115. The company is currently considering the production of a 0.5 Horsepower motor of a
similar design, the current cost index is 150.
1. Estimate the cost of the 0.5 Horsepower motor using the power law and sizing function. (Hint:
Determine the value of index m first)
2. Estimate the cost if the company adds a speed Reducer Head to the motor at the current cost of 6:00
dollars

- QUESTION 2 Thermocouples are devices used to measure temperature of a given sample or the surrounding medium. These devices feature a "bead", which has a spherical shape, and produces voltage upon change in temperature. For an engineering application at a pharmaceutical company, thermocouple devices are being tested for their responsiveness, i.e. how fast it can detect temperature changes in the environment (surrounding air). The engineers at this company have specified design constraints for an ideal thermocouple: it must detect temperature changes no later than 1.5 minute, and the reported temperature value must be reasonably correct: at most %3 difference between measured and actual temperature values is allowed. Four thermocouples from different vendors are being tested. Relevant properties of these devices are listed below: Thermal conductivity Density 36 W/m*K 36 W/m*K 42 W/m*K 33 W/m*K Specific Heat 140 kJ/kg*K 120 kJ/kg*K 150 kJ/kg*K 160 kJ/kg*K Device Bead Diameter…arrow_forwardQuestion 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.

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.
