While such text sources might beavoided, most compromised problems are effectively disguised by changing the associateddiagrams and graphics and rewording the given and find statement(s). Constant vigilance isrequired to stay one step ahead of the misdirected. Fortunately, routine revision of assignmentsets is a task that is accomplished with only a fraction of time and effort invested to initiallycreate the set.Exemplar Answer KeyThe familiar textbook answer key is used by some students to verify the correctness of theirsolution.

Once, power to the centrifugal fan wasturned on, clean filtered air was supplied to the clean space. Using a calibrated hot wire tomeasure air velocity profiles over the duct between the filters and clean room wedetermine the measured volumetric flow rate into the cleanroom to be 0.5 m3/s. Giventhe small, 5.7 m3, total volume of the clean space, this air flow rate implied an airexchange rate for the cleanroom of one complete air change about every 11 seconds, orjust over 300 air changes per

Since all three components, GNS3, Dynagen, and Dynamips are essentially beta-quality software and interdependent, identifying simulation-software related problems is noteasy. A number of simulations have simply terminated after starting successfully, the causeundetermined. Therefore, instructors must choose simulation topologies that are proven or basedon proven simulations to avoid unnecessary hardship on the students’ part.The development teams for GNS3, Dynagen, and Dynamips are small, and therefore unable torespond quickly with software updates.

appropriately, simulation can be used to wring the mostperformance out of engineered systems at an acceptable cost. A vivid example of this is the caseof the Speedo LZR swimsuit which was developed through a combination of simulation andphysical testing. Experts used FLUENT, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD)software, to design modifications in the suit that led to a reduction in the water drag on thewearer. Swimmers wearing the LZR suit went on to claim 33 of the first 36 medals in the BeijingOlympic games and continue to break world records, as reported in the popular press6.
