Choose a problem, ideally a complex problem or one that does not yet have a solution, that interests you in the field of computer technology or health care.

Work through the problem using the analytical approach steps listed in the lesson and document your progress. You may do research, conduct experiments (or simulate experiments), or do any other activity needed to understand the problem, uncover options for solving it, and propose a solution.

Be creative…you may write a report, create a podcast or video presentation, or find another way to share the information with your instructor and your class.

Make sure to include a list of sources you used in your research.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
