The results of cost estimating can be used to serve all of the following objectives, except a)- benchmarking of a firm's productivity improvements b)- evaluating the optimal capital required to make improvements to products (product design) c)- cost estimating doesn't really make sense to engineers. it is the responsibility of accountants. d)- setting selling prices in evaluating engineering contract projects e. none of the above

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

Afluid flows with a velocity field given by v=(x/t)i.. determine the local and convective accelerations when x=3 and t=1.
