One of the industrial robots designed by a leading producer of servomechanisms has four major components. components’ reliabilities are .98, .95, .94, and .90. all of the components must function in order for the robot to operate effectively. designers want to improve the reliability by adding a backup component. due to space limitations, only one backup can be added. the backup for any component will have the same reliability as the unit for which it is the backup. what will be the highest reliability the robot can achieve?

If the thermal strain developed in polyimide film during deposition is given as 0.0044. assume room temperature is kept at 17.3 c, and thermal coefficient of expansion for the film and the substrate are 54 x 10^-6c^-1 and 3.3 x 10^-6c^-1respectively. calculate the deposition temperature.

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

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?
