Why is the freezer placed at the top in a refrigerator, why not at the bottom ?

Answer / amruthasesh
It is because the freezer when kept at top cools the circulated air in contact with it thus making it denser than the air below. Thus cooled air comes down and the hotter air being less dense moves up. Imagine if the freezer is at the bottom..circulation will not be possible as cold air being dense will continue to remain at the bottom and hot air being light will continue to be at the top. This is nothing but natural convection phenomena.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.23 : An engineering company would like to produce 10000 units of control instruments. Let selling price per unit = $10, variable cost per unit = $2, overall fixed cost = $30000. (a) Calculate the income obtained when all units are sold out successfully. (b) Find the overall cost of production. (c) Calculate the percentage of gross profit obtained based on the answers in (a) and (b). (d) Find the minimum units that need to be sold out successfully in order to prevent losses. (e) How many minimum units of instruments that need to be produced in order to prevent losses, if all units produced are sold out successfully?

QUANTUM COMPUTING - EXAMPLE 32.3 : A system of linear congruences consists of 3 equations : X ≡ 1 (mod 3), X ≡ 3 (mod 5), X ≡ 4 (mod 6). X has positive values. (a) List the values of these equations from 1 to 35. Then find the minimum value of X. (b)(i) Find the least common multiple (LCM) of b = 3, 5 and 6 where X ≡ a (mod b). (ii) If b - a has the same value of all equations above, then X + (b - a) is divisible by LCM. Find the value of minimum value of X via LCM division.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 34.36 : Du Pont analysis is used to perform calculation on Return On Equity (ROE) for an engineering organization. Let Net Income = A; Earning Before Tax (EBT) = B; Earning Before Interest, Tax (EBIT) = C; Sales = D; Assets = E; Equity = F. In 5-step Du Pont formula, let Tax Burden = G = A / B; Interest Burden = H = B / C = 1.04; EBIT % = I = C / D = 0.27; Asset Turnover = J = D / E = 0.66; Leverage = K = E / F = 2.66; ROE = L = A / F. If (1 / G) = (4 / 3) : (a) find the value of L; (b) calculate the values of A, B, C, E and F when D = $1500; (c) verify the answer (b) is correct by using the answer (a).
