Answer:

a) Using Ideal gas Equation, T = 434.98°R = 435°R

b) Using Van Der Waal's Equation, T = 637.32°R = 637°R

c) T obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is T = 559.67°R = 560°R

Explanation:

a) Ideal gas Equation

PV = mRT

T = PV/mR

P = pressure = 400 psia

V/m = specific volume = 0.1144 ft³/lbm

R = gas constant = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T = 400 × 0.1144/0.1052 = 434.98 °R

b) Van Der Waal's Equation

T = (1/R) (P + (a/v²)) (v - b)

a = Van Der Waal's constant = (27R²(T꜀ᵣ)²)/(64P꜀ᵣ)

R = 0.1052 psia.ft³/lbm.°R

T꜀ᵣ = critical temperature for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 673.6°R

P꜀ᵣ = critical pressure for refrigerant-134a (from the refrigerant tables) = 588.7 psia

a = (27 × 0.1052² × 673.6²)/(64 × 588.7)

a = 3.596 ft⁶.psia/lbm²

b = (RT꜀ᵣ)/8P꜀ᵣ

b = (0.1052 × 673.6)/(8 × 588.7) = 0.01504 ft³/lbm

T = (1/0.1052) (400 + (3.596/0.1144²) (0.1144 - 0.01504) = 637.32°R

c) The temperature for the refrigerant-134a as obtained from the refrigerant tables at P = 400 psia and v = 0.1144 ft³/lbm is

T = 100°F = 559.67°R

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.6 mm; the spe
ankoles [38]

Answer:

F =  8849 N

Explanation:

Given:

Load at a given point = F =  4250 N

Support span = L = 44 mm

Radius = R = 5.6 mm

length thickness of tested material = 12 mm

First compute the flexural strength for circular cross section using the formula below:

σ_{fs} = F_{f} L / \pi  R^{3}

σ = FL / π R³

Putting the given values in the above formula:

σ = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ ) / π  ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 ( 44 x 10⁻³ )  / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 (44 x 1 /1000 )) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 4250 ( 11 / 250  ) / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 10⁻³ ) ³

  = 187 / 3.141593 ( 5.6 x 1 / 1000 ) ³

  = 187 / 3.141593 (0.0056)³

  = 338943767.745358

  = 338.943768 x 10⁶

σ = 338 x 10⁶ N/m²

Now we compute the load i.e. F from the following formula:

F_{f} = 2 σ_{fs} d³/3 L

F = 2σd³/3L

  = 2(338 x 10⁶)(12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3(44 x 10⁻³)

  = 2 ( 338 x 1000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 2 ( 338000000 ) ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 ( 12 x 10⁻³)³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 ( 12  x  1/1000  )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 (  3  / 250  )³ / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 676000000 (  27  / 15625000 )  / 3 ( 44 x 10⁻³)

  = 146016  / 125 / 3 ( 44 x 1 / 1000  )

  = ( 146016  / 125 ) /  (3 ( 11 /  250 ))

  =  97344  / 11

F =  8849 N
