Answer:
a) 2.452
b) 1.256
Explanation:
Stress due to dead weight. = 14 Ksi
Stress due to fully loaded tractor-trailer = 45Ksi
ultimate tensile strength of beam = 76 Ksi
yield strength = 50 Ksi
endurance limit = 38 Ksi
Determine the safety factor for an infinite fatigue life
a) If mean stress on fatigue strength is ignored
β = ( 45 - 14 ) / 2
= 15.5 Ksi
hence FOS ( factor of safety ) = endurance limit / β
= 38 / 15.5 = 2.452
b) When mean stress on fatigue strength is considered
β2 = 45 + 14 / 2
= 29.5 Ksi
Ratio = β / β2 = 15.5 / 29.5 = 0.5254
Next step: applying Goodman method
Sa = [ ( 0.5254 * 38 *76 ) / ( 0.5254*76 + 38 ) ]
= 19.47 Ksi
hence the FOS ( factor of safety ) = Sa / β
= 19.47 / 15.5 = 1.256
Answer:
0.5°c
Explanation:
Humidity ratio by mass can be expressed as
the ratio between the actual mass of water vapor present in moist air - to the mass of the dry air
Humidity ratio is normally expressed in kilograms (or pounds) of water vapor per kilogram (or pound) of dry air.
Humidity ratio expressed by mass:
x = mw / ma (1)
where
x = humidity ratio (kgwater/kgdry_air, lbwater/lbdry_air)
mw = mass of water vapor (kg, lb)
ma = mass of dry air (kg, lb)
It can be as:
x = 0.005 (100) / [(100 - 100)]
x = 0.005 x 100 / (100 - 100)
x = 0.005 x 100 / 0
x = 0.5°c
So the temperature to which atmospheric air must be cooled in order to have humidity ratio of 0.005 lb/lb is 0.5°c
Answer:

Explanation:
Availability:
It define as the probability of system which perform desired task before showing any failure .
The availability can be define as follows

Or we can say that

Availability can also be express as

Where MTBF is the mean time between two failure.
MTTR is the mean time to repair.
Answer:
Wind energy is converted to Mechanical energy which is then converted in to electrical energy
Explanation:
In a wind mill the following energy conversions take place
a) Wind energy is converted into Mechanical energy (rotation of rotor blades)
b) Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy (by using electric motor)
This electrical energy is then used for transmission through electric lines.
