Consider the following Moore’s law growth pattern (since 1980) for the number of transistors inside a particular commercial microprocessor: N = 1920 x 10 0.1637(Y – 1980) where Y is the year and N is the number of transistors. Assuming sustained Moore’s law growth, what will be the number of transistors in a microprocessor in year 2025? Using the same expression, calculate how many years it will take for the transistor count to increase by 100x

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Aflywheel accelerates for 5 seconds at 2 rad/s2 from a speed of 20 rpm. determine the total number of revolutions of the flywheel during the period of its acceleration. a.5.65 b.8.43 c. 723 d.6.86

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
