ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.10 : Let D be the random outcome of rolling a dice once. A new dice has values of D* = D - 3.5. There is a total of n rolls of a dice. (a) Find the variance for D* by using the formula 6 V = [ D* (D = 1) ] [ D* (D = 1) ] + [ D* (D = 2) ] [ D* (D = 2) ] + [ D* (D = 3) ] [ D* (D = 3) ] + [ D* (D = 4) ] [ D* (D = 4) ] + [ D* (D = 5) ] [ D* (D = 5) ] + [ D* (D = 6) ] [ D* (D = 6) ]. (b) Calculate the standard deviation of D* as a square root of V. (c) Another new dice has values of D** = kD*. (i) Find the value of k so that D** has a standard deviation of 1. (ii) Find the values of D** for each outcome of D = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, when the standard deviation is 1. (iii) Given that the average score of a dice is 3.5, find the equivalent, new and improved model of a dice, Sn in term of n and D**. (iv) Find the expected value of D** as the average of D**.
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.10 : (a) 6 V = (1 - 3.5) (1 - 3.5) + (2 - 3.5) (2 - 3.5) + (3 - 3.5) (3 - 3.5) + (4 - 3.5) (4 - 3.5) + (5 - 3.5) (5 - 3.5) + (6 - 3.5) (6 - 3.5) = 17.5. V = 17.5 / 6 = 2.92. (b) Standard deviation = square root of V = (2.92) ^ (0.5) = 1.71. (c) (i) k = 1 / (standard deviation of D*) = 1 / 1.71 = 0.585. (ii) D** (D = 1) = -2.5 / 1.71 = -1.462, D** (D = 2) = -1.5 / 1.71 = -0.877, D** (D = 3) = -0.5 / 1.71 = -0.292, D** (D = 4) = 0.5 / 1.71 = 0.292, D** (D = 5) = 1.5 / 1.71 = 0.877, D** (D = 6) = 2.5 / 1.71 = 1.462. (iii) Sn = 3.5 n + 1.71 nD**. (iv) Expected value of D** = [ D** (D = 1) + D** (D = 2) + D** (D = 3) + D** (D = 4) + D** (D = 5) + D** (D = 6) ] / 6 = (- 1.462 - 0.877 - 0.292 + 0.292 + 0.877 + 1.462) / 6 = 0.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.4 : A university is enrolling new students of biochemical engineering degree. A long queue is formed during registration. Let L = rate of newcomers to a queue, m = number of clients served at a certain time, T = time in system. In M / M / 1 queue, let T = time waiting in a queue + service time, L = 2 / second, m = 3 / second. (a) Find the service time, A = 1 / m. (b) Calculate time waiting in a queue, B = A (L / m) / (1 - L / m). (c) What is the value of T?

In differential centrifugation of cells with diameter D in centimeter, the square of D is given by D x D = [18n ln (RF / RI) ] / [ (RP – RFF) Wt ] where n is the fluid viscosity (poise), RF is the final radius of rotation (cm), RI is the initial radius of rotation (cm), RP is cell density (g/ml), RFF is the fluid density (g/ml), W the square for the rotational velocity in (radians / s) (radians / s), t is the time required to sediment from RI to RF (s). Derive an equation for W as a function for D, n, RF, RI, RP, RFF and t, with the stated units above, in radian

Question 42 - According to Margules Equation, P = x(1) p(1) g(1) + x(2) p(2) g(2) for a two-component mixture where P is bubble pressure, x is mole fraction, p is saturation pressure, g is constant given by ln g(1) = x(2) A x(2). Find the value of A as a constant when P = 1.08 bar, p(1) = 0.82 bar, p(2) = 1.93 bar in a 50 : 50 mole fraction mixture. Estimate the pressure required to completely liquefy the 30 : 70 mixture using the same equation, by proving P = 1.39 bar. Take note that ln g(2) = x(1) A x(1), ln g(1) = x(2) A x(2).
