Amanufacturer provides a warranty against failure of a carbon steel product within the first 30 days after sale. out of 1000 sold, 10 were found to have failed by corrosion during the warranty period. total cost of replacement for each failed product is approximately $100,000, including the cost of environ-mental clean-up, loss of product, downtime, repair, and replacement.(a) calculate the risk of failure by corrosion, in dollars.(b) if a corrosion-resistant alloy would prevent failure by corrosion, is an incremental cost of $100 to manufacture the product using such an alloy justified? what would be the maximum incremental cost that would be justified in using an alloy that would prevent failures by corrosion?

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.
