starts with the multidimensional definition of quality, Q ? f (Q1 ,..., Q n ) with the nelements that correspond to those factors and features that relate to how the products aredesigned, developed, produced, and used by customers. Functions involving design, production,and service have differing effects among the n dimensions, producing large impact on some andvery little on others. This of course will depend on the particular type of product. The nature ofthe dimensions makes it difficult to establish an overall simple measure of the state of quality,with some dimensions being quantitative while others are very subjective. Warranty feedback, W ? h ] g1 (Q1 ,..., Q n ),..., g m (Q1 ,..., Q n )_ does however, provide an overall weighting of

What is the purpose of finding the mass flow rate of the air in the house?”A: “Mass flow rate is used only in the calculating air exchanges between the house and theambient as it happens due to closing and opening of doors, leakage through the windows anddoors etc. and this is given as 0.4.”Q: “Shouldn't the heat input for solar radiation be higher in the summer than in the winter,considering we are closer to the sun in the summer time? Would you please elaborate on thismatter?”A: “Good question! In winter, the angle made by the sun is more oblique at the earth. (see linkfor a picture depicting this).

The proposed laboratory traininghelps students to understand physical processes occurred in a solid body under the action oftemperature. They can observe processes which are invisible for a human eye and betterunderstand thermal wave propagation in the testing object.

An indirect method is possible, by measuring the volumetric flow rate supplied Page 14.208.7to the rake manifold from the smoke generation system. If the total volumetric flow rate of aircontaining smoke is Q, then the average discharge velocity from N identical rake tubes will be U= Q/(NA), where A is the internal cross-sectional area of a single typical rake tube.
