COMPUTER PROGRAMMING FOR ENGINEERS - ANSWER 17.1 : When Excel is used, let column A=RAND() and column B=ASIN(A1). Stretch the columns A and B vertically. The data is transferred to Word, then reinserted into column C and D in order to prevent changes in column A. By using the sort function from the lowest to highest, arrange the data in column C and D, followed by trapezoidal rule performance in column E=0.5*(C1+C2)*(D2-D1). The 2 times summation of values in column E will approximate I gradually as the random numbers used increase. Exact value of I = -2(-1) = 2 units.

What is a good method of minimizing shell side pressure drop in a shell and tube exchanger?
X is strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
