Suppose that a wing component on an aircraft is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of

27 MPa (24.57 ksi). It has been determined that fracture results at a stress of 115 MPa (16680 psi) when the maximum internal crack length is 8.3 mm (0.3268 in.). For this same component and alloy, compute the stress level at which fracture will occur for a critical internal crack length of 5.9 mm (0.2323 in.).

Answer:

The stress level = 133.5 Mpa

Explanation:

Given data;

Toughness = 27Mpa

Stress = 115 Mpa

Crack length = 8.3mm = 8.3 * 10^-3m

The stress level can be calculated using the formula,

б = $\frac{ktc}{Y\sqrt{\pi a} }$ ---------------------------------------------1

Where;

б = strain level

ktc = fracture toughness

a = surface length = 8.3 *10^-3/2 (Half of the cracked length)

Substituting into the formula, we have

But, we have to calculate the parameter Y before we can substitute into equation 1.

By making Y subject formula, we have;

Y = ktc/ (б√πa)

Y = 27/(115 *√(π * (8.3 *10^-3/2))

Y = 27/(115 *√0.0130)

Y = 27/(115 * 0.114)

Y = 27/13.131

Y = 2.1

Calculating the stress level, we substitute into equation 1 as follows;

б = $\frac{ktc}{Y\sqrt{\pi a} }$

б = 27/ (2.1 *√(π * (5.9 * 10^-3/2))

= 27/(2.1 *√(π * 0.00295))

= 27/ (2.1 *√0.00927)

= 27/(2.1 * 0.096)

= 27/0.202

= 133.5 Mpa

Two well-known NP-complete problems are 3-SAT and TSP, the traveling salesman problem. The 2-SAT problem is a SAT variant in whi

Hitman42 [59]

3-SAT ≤p TSP

If P ¹ NP, then no NP-complete problem can be solved in polynomial time.

both the statements are true.

<u>Explanation:</u>

3-SAT ≤p TSP due to any complete problem of NP to other problem by exits of reductions.
If P ¹ NP, then 3-SAT ≤p 2-SAT are the polynomial time algorithm are not for 3-SAT. In P, 2-SAT is found, 3- SAT polynomial time algorithm implies the exit of reductions. 3 SAT does not have polynomial time algorithm when P≠NP.
If P ¹ NP, then no NP-complete problem can be solved in polynomial time. because for the NP complete problem individually gets the polynomial time algorithm for the others. It may be in P for all the problems, the implication of latter is P≠NP.

A rigid 10-L vessel initially contains a mixture of liquid and vapor water at 100 °C, with a quality factor of 0.123. The mixtur

masya89 [10]

Answer:

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Explanation:

The vessel is modelled after the First Law of Thermodynamics. Let suppose the inexistence of mass interaction at boundary between vessel and surroundings, changes in potential and kinectic energy are negligible and vessel is a rigid recipient.

$Q_{in} = U_{2} - U_{1}$

Properties of water at initial and final state are:

State 1 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 101.42\,kPa$

$T = 100\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.123$

State 2 - (Liquid-Vapor Mixture)

$P = 476.16\,kPa$

$T = 150\,^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.525$

The mass stored in the vessel is:

$m = \frac{V}{\nu}$

$m = \frac{10\times 10^{-3}\,m^{3}}{0.2066\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m = 0.048\,kg$

The heat transfer require to the process is:

$Q_{in} = m\cdot (u_{2}-u_{1})$

$Q_{in} = (0.048\,kg)\cdot (1643.545\,\frac{kJ}{kg} - 675.761\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$Q_{in} = 46.454\,kJ$

Consider a simple ideal Rankine cycle and an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater. The two cycles are

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

They both have the same efficiency.

Explanation:

The simple ideal Rankine cycle and an ideal regenerative Rankine cycle with one open feedwater heater would both have the same efficiency because the extraction steam would just create a mini cycle that recirculates. The energy given to the feedwater heater is proportional to the added heat in the boiler to the feedwater in the simple cycle to raise its temperature to the same boiler inlet condition.

Therefore in comparison, the efficiency is the same for both.

A 400-m^3 storage tank is being constructed to hold LNG, liquefied natural gas, which may be assumed to be essentially pure meth

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

mass of LNG: 129501.3388 kg

quality: 0.005048662

Explanation:

Volume occupied by liquid:

400 m^3*0.9 = 360 m^3

Volume occupied by vapor

400 m^3*0.1 = 40 m^3

A figured with thermodynamic properties of saturated methane is attached. Notice that a liquid-gas mixture is present

For liquid phase specific volume (vf) at 150 K is 0.002794 m^3/kg and for vapor phase specific volume (vg) is 0.06118 m^3/kg

From specific volume definition:

vf = liquid volume/liquid mass

liquid mass = liquid volume/vf

liquid mass = 360 m^3/0.002794 m^3/kg

liquid mass = 128847.5304 kg

vg = vapor volume/vapor mass

vapor mass = liquid volume/vg

vapor mass = 40 m^3/0.06118 m^3/kg

vapor mass = 653.8084341 kg

total mass = 128847.5304 kg + 653.8084341 kg = 129501.3388 kg

Quality is defined as the ratio between vapor mass and total mass

quality = 653.8084341 kg/129501.3388 kg = 0.005048662

Cloud [144]

Answer:

a. 2x/3

b. 8

Explanation:

fundamental period can be defined to mean that at after every period of 2π radians or 360° the value of graph is repeated. For such functions the fundamental period is the period after which they repeat themselves.

It van also be looked as The fundamental period of cos(θ) is 2π. That is (for example) cos(0) to cos(2π) represents one full period.
