Choice of Technique: As he wishes to stick to a low investment model, we may suggest him to go with the labour-intensive approach to manufacture N95 masks. Since better technology would cost him much and his risk appetite is not conducive for capital intensive techniques of production.

Concept:

Track Tolerances:

The safety and comfort of travel depend primarily on track geometry and the standard at which it is maintained. In practice, it is not possible to obtain a flawless and perfect track; the parameters governing track geometry always show certain variations due to various reasons. Track tolerances may be defined as the limits of the variability of various parameters pertaining to track geometry.

Tolerances are generally laid down for the following track parameters:

• Gauge variation
• Unevenness 
• Cross-level difference 
• Twist

Concept:

There are various methods of railway alignment in mountain regions as discussed below:

Switch-back alignment:

• In the case of steep side slopes, a considerable gain in elevation is accomplished with the switch-back method of alignment.
• This method involves a reversal of direction achieved by the switch point.
• The switch point is normally located in the station yard.

Spiral alignment:

• This method is used in a narrow valley where a small bridge or viaduct has been constructed at considerable height to span the valley.
• In this case, normally a complete loop of the railway line is constructed so that the line crosses the same point again at height through a flyover or tunnel.

Zigzag alignment:

• In this method, the railway line traverses in a zigzag alignment and follows a convenient side slope which is at nearly right angles to the general direction of alignment.
• The line then turns about 180° in a horseshoe pattern to gain height.

Adaption of straight alignment for mountain regions is less preferred because it will lead to a very steep track. This will be difficult for traveling and construction. Thus for easy attainment of heights spiral, zigzag or switch-back alignments are followed.

• Type of conductor is NOT included in the preparation of wiring because in wiring we generally used different types of the cable according to the current rating.
• Type of conductor consideration is mainly used for distribution and transmission cable according to distance, tensile strength as well as current rating such as ACSR, AAC, Cadmium copper, etc.

The main consideration for the preparation of Wiring:

1. Wiring manufacturer company: We have to use the different kinds of manufacturer wire according to the market analysis as well as estimation.

2. Specifications of the wire: We have to select the different SWG of the cable according to power ratings such as light-subcircuit load or power circuit load.

3. Colour code: We have to use different color codes to distinguish the Phase, Earth, or Neutral wire.

4. Types of Cable: Different types of cable used such as PVC, Lead-sheath, CTC-TRS, etc according to the application.

To apply the preventive maintenance plan we have to do the following:

• Study the production line of planning and plant area environment and the theory of the machine
• Divided the machines into many branches like gearboxes, bearing, hydraulic, pneumatic and etc...
• Start evaluation of the lubrication plan for all parts.
• Start establishing the daily, weekly, monthly and etc. maintenance tasks plans for the maintenance team and production teams for each machine
• Start establishing the daily testing (it a very important )
• Start to implement the system and collect the result to make the fine-tuning of this scandal according to the feedback from the downtime report.
• All of these steps depend on the recommendations of the machine's fabricators and your experience.

The correct answer is The water vapour present in the air condenses on the surface of the bottle.

• Moisture in the air called "humidity".
• The amount of moisture that can be in the air depends on the temperature of the air.
• The warmer the air is, the more water it can hold in it.
• When the air comes up against the cold outside of a cold bottle, the air right next to the bottle gets cold.
• It gets so cold that it can't hold as much water anymore and some of the water "condenses" or comes out of the air onto the bottle.
• That cold air next to the bottle is heavier than the air around it (hot air rises, cold air sinks) so the colder air with some water out of it sinks, and fresh water-filled air comes in to get cooled and leave some more condensation.
• This process is similar to what causes clouds to form and rain to fall. Moisture in the air is condensed and precipitated because of cooler temperature or similar effect.
• The formation of dew is almost exactly like the formation of the water droplets on the outside of a cold bottle.

The correct answer is to Transfer heat from the reactor to water in a heat exchanger.

• A nuclear reactor coolant is a coolant in a nuclear reactor used to remove heat from the nuclear reactor core and transfer it to electrical generators and the environment.
• Frequently, a chain of two coolant loops are used because the primary coolant loop takes on short-term radioactivity from the reactor.

(a) \(A = \begin{bmatrix} 7&1\\4&-3 \end{bmatrix}\)

\(|A| = \begin{vmatrix} 7&1\\4&-3\end{vmatrix} = -21 -4 = -25\)

\(A_{11} = (-1)^{1 + 1} (-3) = -3\)

\(A_{12} = (-1)^{1 +2}4 = -4\)

\(A_{21} = (-1)^{2 + 1}1 = -1\)

\(A_{22} = (-1)^{2 + 2} \,7 = 7\)

\(\therefore adj \,A = {C_{ij}}^T = \begin{bmatrix}-3 &-4\\-1&7\end{bmatrix}^T = \begin{bmatrix}-3 &-1\\-4&7\end{bmatrix}\)

\(\therefore A^{-1} = \frac{adj\,A}{|A|} = \frac{-1}{25} \begin{bmatrix}-3 &-1\\-4&7\end{bmatrix}\).

(b) \(B = \begin{bmatrix}1 &6\\-3&5\end{bmatrix}\)

\(|B| = \begin{vmatrix} 1&6\\-3&5\end{vmatrix} = 5+18 = 23\)

\(\therefore B^{-1} = \frac{adj\,B}{|B|} = \frac{1}{23} \begin{bmatrix}5 &-6\\3&1\end{bmatrix}\)

(i) \(\begin{vmatrix}x&3\\4&3\end{vmatrix}\) = \(\begin{vmatrix}4&-3\\0&1\end{vmatrix}\)

⇒ x² - 12 = 4

⇒ x² = 16

⇒ x = -4 or x = 4.

(ii) \(\begin{vmatrix}2x&3\\-1&x\end{vmatrix}\) = \(\begin{vmatrix}3&1\\x&3\end{vmatrix}\) 

⇒ 2x² + 3 = 9 - x

⇒ 2x² + x - 6 = 0

⇒ 2x² + 4x - 3x - 6 = 0

⇒ (2x - 3) (x + 2) = 0

⇒ x = 3/2 or -2
