Weston Materials‚ Inc.‚ a national manufacturer of unattached garages‚ reports that it takes two construction workers a mean of 32 hours and a standard deviation of 2 hours to erect the Red Barn model. Assume the assembly times follow the normal distribution. a. Determine the z values for 29 and 34 hours. What percent of the garages take between 32 hours and 34 hours to erect? z(29) = (29-32)/2 = -3/2 z(34) = (34-32)/2 = 1 z(32) = 0 P(32 < x < 34) = P(0< z < 1) = 0.34 b. What percent of the

PROBLEM 15.15 (WWWR) A 0.20-m-thick brick wall (k=1.3W/m•K) separated the combustion zone of a furnace from its surroundings at 25℃. For an outside wall surface temperature of 100℃‚ with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 18 W/m2•K‚ what will be the inside wall surface temperature at steady-state conditions? Solution : q k = Tw = h(Ts − Tsurrounding ) A L Tw = = h(Ts − Tsurrounding )i L k Tinside =? 0.2m Ts = 100°c (18W / m.k )(75k )(20 × 10−2 m) 1.3(W / m.k ) Tsurrounding
