A project specifies a concrete strength of at least 3000 psi. Materials engineers will design
the mix for a strength higher than that. Calculate the required average compressive strength of
the mix design if the standard deviation is s = 350 psi. Estimate the modulus of elasticity of the
concrete at the required average compressive strength.

Sketch and label each of the following three signals:
i) y(t)= u(t+3)+u(t-3) ii) y(t)= e-tu(t) iii) y[n]=δ[n]-δ[n-3]
A boiler produces 6 tonnes/hour of steam at a pressure of 1.8 MPa and a temperature of 250ºC. Feedwater enters at a temperature of 39ºC. At exit from the economizer part of the boiler the temperature is 72ºC. At exit from the evaporator part of the boiler the steam is 90 % dry. Energy is supplied by 650 kg of coal per hour, which has a calorific value of 36 MJ/kg. The A/F ratio is 25 : 1. The temperature of the flue gas at entry to the economizer part of the boiler is 430ºC. The average specific heat at constant pressure of the flue gas in the economizer is 1045 J/kg.K. 4.1 Calculate the efficiency of the boiler.
