Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 22P
Contol of HIV/AIDS. As of 2012. the number of people living worldwide with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/ AIDS) was estimated at 35 million. with 23 million new infections per year and 1.6 million deaths due to the disease {UNAIDS, 2013). Currently there is no known cure for the disease, and HIV cannot be completely ehminated in an infected individual. Drug combinations can be used to maintain the virus numbers at low levels, which helps prevent AIDS from developing. A common treatment for HIV is the administration of two types of drugs: reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs). The amount in which each of these drugs is administered is varied according to the amount of HIV viruses in the body (Craig, 2004). Draw a block diagram of a feedback system designed to control the amount of HIV viruses in an infected person. The plant input variables are the amount of RTIs and PIs dispensed. Show blocks representing the controller, the system under control, and the transducers. Label the corresponding variables at the input and output of every block.

O You are running an industrial research study together with your project team to
improve energy efficiency in a combustion process. The purpose of the research is
to identify the optimum air-fuel ratio for the combustion process in a boiler under
varying conditions of air supply and quality of fuel. The study would involve
design of experiments, data collection and analysis, simulation of the different
variables and validation of the optimum parameters. There is a lot of pressure to
improve the energy efficiency as there is a forecast of fuel price rise in the
forthcoming month.
Based on the CRPE code of ethics, explain two critical precautions which
the engineers have to consider before implementation of the data collection

A nearsighted eye is corrected by placing a diverging lens in front of the eye. The lens will create a virtual image of a distant object at the far point (the farthest an object can be from the eye and still be in focus) of the myopic viewer where it will be clearly seen. In the traditional treatment of myopia, an object at infinity is focused to the far point of the eye. If an individual has a far point of 39.5 cm, prescribe the correct power of the lens that is needed. Assume that the distance from the eye to the lens is negligible.

The membrane must be able to retain both protein and glucose on the inlet side and allow other, smaller molecules to flow through. You have found that the membrane is 0.25 mm thick and contains long, rectangular pores with a width of 0.1 microns. 57% of the 50 cm^2 membrane surface area is covered with pores. A test fluid (viscosity = 1.5 cP, density = 1015 kg/m^3) is passed through the membrane. You can assume that the test fluid has a composition similar to that of blood plasma. An initial test is run at physiological conditions, and you observe that the flow rate of fluid through the membrane is 500 cm^3/min. Given this data, what must the hydrodynamic pressure drop across the membrane in your test system be in pascals?arrow_forward
