Let α be the percentage of a program code which can be executed simultaneously by n processors of a multiprocessor system. Assume that the remaining code must be executed sequentially on a single processor. Each processor has an execution rate of x MIPS, and all of the processors are equally capable. (a) Derive an expression for the effective MIPS rate when using the system to execute this program, in terms of the parameters n, x, and α.
(b) Let consider the synchronization overhead. When adding an additional processor, the total number of instructions will be increased byβpercent. These added instructions are for synchronization only and they canbe executed in parallel. What will be the speedup of the multiprocessor system?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
