a) If a copper (A=64) specimen is exposed to monoenergetic (2 Mev) neutrons of flux (=2 x

10^(15) n cm^-2s^-1) for 6 days continuously, show that the number of atomic displacements per
atom (dpa) is 2.856 (Ed=22 eV, el=2 b).

Assume that only one vacancy survived per billion atoms displaced (due to recombination).
b) what will be the (equivalent) temperature at which the same number of vacancies would exist
in unirradiated specimen? (Qv=28 kcal mol^-1, Qd=52 kcal mol^-1)

c) Determine the enhancement in self-diffusivity at 400 due to radiation produced vacancies?

d) If the steady-state creep rate () follows a power law, =ADo^(4.5), calculate the % change in
the creep rate due to radiation (assume that the same equation is valid before and after
irradiation).

e) If the creep rupture life of the unirradiated material is 45 days at a stress (0), estimate the
rupture life of the irradiated specimen.

A pirate is searching for buried treasure (marked by the X, of course) in a land that consists of
the 4x4 grid shown here. The black lines represent impenetrable obstacles. Write the Kmap for
the direction the pirate should move (shortest path), given A, B, C and D as coordinates for his
current location. Direction is a 2-bit value (DIR1, DIR0), specified according to the compass
shown.
Imagine that a circuit built from Part A's truth table will power a device that uses a single LED
for each direction. NOTE: Only one LED will be lit at any particular time! Draw a circuit that
would convert the two-bit DIR1, DIR0 into four signals, one each for LED_N, LED_S, LED_E,
LED_W. Your answer should be simplified, using the fewest components possible.

A separately-excited DC generator has the magnetization curve shown in Figure. The rated
output is 5.5 kW and 210 V at 1200 rpm. The input torque to sustain these rated conditions is
49.5 N-m.

a) Determine the rated load current IL. To produce rated output it is found necessary to set the
field current IF, equal to 1.6A. This current is supplied from a 200 V DC source. The resistance,
RF, in the field winding is 100 Ohms. Determine:
b) The value of the adjustable resistance, Radj,
c) the equivalent load resistor, RL, which must be connected to the generator output terminals to
receive this amount of power. With the machine delivering rated output, the load is disconnected
but no other changes are made. Study the system carefully and determine:
d) the no-load terminal voltage, VT,
e) the value of RA, the armature resistance,
f) the percent voltage regulation of this machine,
g) the power converted from mechanical to electrical, PCONV,
h) the required mechanical input power, PIN,
i) the friction and windage loss of the machine, j) the efficiency of operation at rated output
