Three forklift trucks are used to deliver pallet loads of parts between work cells in a factory. Average travel distance loaded is 350 ft and the travel distance empty is estimated to be the same. The trucks are driven at an average speed of 3 miles/hr when loaded and 4 miles/hr when empty. Terminal time per delivery averages 1.0 min (load = 0.5 min and unload = 0.5 min ). If the traffic factor is assumed to be 0.90, availability = 100%, and worker efficiency = 0.95, what is the maximum hourly delivery rate of the three trucks?

The from-to chart below indicates the number of loads moved per 8-hr day (above the slash) and the distances in ft (below the slash) between departments in a particular factory. Fork lift trucks are used to transport the materials. They move at an average speed = 275 ft>min (loaded) and 350 ft/min (empty). Load handling time (loading plus unloading) per delivery is 1.5 min and anticipated traffic factor = 0.9. Availability = 95% and worker efficiency = 110%. Determine the number of trucks required under each of the following assumptions: (a) the trucks never travel empty; and (b) the trucks travel empty a distance equal to their loaded distance.

A wind turbine has the maximum power output at the rated speed of 12 m/s and a rotor diameter of 82 meters. The cut-in and cut-out speeds for this type of wind turbine are 4 m/s and 23 m/s, respectively. The table below shows the annual wind data near a potential site for setting up a wind farm using this type of wind turbine and the power coefficient of the wind turbine at the specific wind speed. The air density is 1.22 kg/m3. (a). What is the maximum power output of this wind turbine, assuming Betz limit? (b). What is the average power output if the wind turbine is installed at this site?. (c). What is the capacity factor of the wind turbine at this site? (d).
