Answer:

Glazier

Explanation:

Glaziers are workers who specializes in cutting and installation of glass works.

They work with glass in various surfaces and settings, such as cutting and installing windows and doors, skylights, storefronts, display cases, mirrors, facades, interior walls, etc.

Thus, the type of worker the contractor will hire for this project is a Glazier

An alloy is evaluated for potential creep deformation in a short-term laboratory experiment. The creep rate (ϵ˙) is found to be

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Activation energy for creep in this temperature range is Q = 252.2 kJ/mol

Explanation:

To calculate the creep rate at a particular temperature

creep rate, $\zeta_{\theta} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R \theta} )$

Creep rate at 800⁰C, $\zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R (800+273)} )$

$\zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} )\\\zeta_{800} = 1 \% per hour =0.01\\$

$0.01 = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} )$ .........................(1)

Creep rate at 700⁰C

$\zeta_{700} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{R (700+273)} )$

$\zeta_{800} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{973R} )\\\zeta_{800} = 5.5 * 10^{-2} \% per hour =5.5 * 10^{-4}$

$5.5 * 10^{-4} = C \exp(\frac{-Q}{1073R} )$ .................(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2)

$\frac{0.01}{5.5 * 10^{-4} } = \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073R} -\frac{-Q}{973R} ]\\18.182= \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073R} +\frac{Q}{973R} ]\\R = 8.314\\18.182= \exp[\frac{-Q}{1073*8.314} +\frac{Q}{973*8.314} ]\\18.182= \exp[0.0000115 Q]\\$

Take the natural log of both sides

$ln 18.182= 0.0000115Q\\2.9004 = 0.0000115Q\\Q = 2.9004/0.0000115\\Q = 252211.49 J/mol\\Q = 252.2 kJ/mol$

1. A glass window of width W = 1 m and height H = 2 m is 5 mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of kg = 1.4 W/m*K. If the inn

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

1. $\dot Q=19600\ W$

2. $\dot Q=120\ W$

Explanation:

1.

Given:

height of the window pane, $h=2\ m$

width of the window pane, $w=1\ m$

thickness of the pane, $t=5\ mm= 0.005\ m$

thermal conductivity of the glass pane, $k_g=1.4\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature of the inner surface, $T_i=15^{\circ}C$

temperature of the outer surface, $T_o=-20^{\circ}C$

<u>According to the Fourier's law the rate of heat transfer is given as:</u>

$\dot Q=k_g.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

here:

A = area through which the heat transfer occurs = $2\times 1=2\ m^2$

dT = temperature difference across the thickness of the surface = $35^{\circ}C$

dx = t = thickness normal to the surface = $0.005\ m$

$\dot Q=1.4\times 2\times \frac{35}{0.005}$

$\dot Q=19600\ W$

2.

air spacing between two glass panes, $dx=0.01\ m$

area of each glass pane, $A=2\times 1=2\ m^2$

thermal conductivity of air, $k_a=0.024\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

temperature difference between the surfaces, $dT=25^{\circ}C$

<u>Assuming layered transfer of heat through the air and the air between the glasses is always still:</u>

$\dot Q=k_a.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=0.024\times 2\times \frac{25}{0.01}$

$\dot Q=120\ W$

Do plastic materials have high or low ductility? Explain why.

Flura [38]

The impact behavior of plastic materials is strongly dependent upon the temperature. At high temperatures, materials are more ductile and have high impact toughness. At low temperatures, some plastics that would be ductile at room temperature become brittle.

When preparing a foundation for a heavy duty machine tool, discuss any four (4) statics machine characteristics to be considered

kozerog [31]

Answer:

1 ) Accuracy of the Machine Tool

2) Load bearing capacity

3) Linearity in the product line

4) Torque of the machine

Explanation:

we know that machine tool is the permanent essential in manufacturing industries

it is a machine use for different form like cutting , grinding and boring etc

so 1st is

1 ) Accuracy of the Machine Tool

we know it is very important Characteristic of the machine tool because when we use it in manufacturing unit Accuracy of the Machine Tool should be higher concern

2) Load bearing capacity

we should very careful about Load bearing capacity because how much amount of load tool will bear check by some parameter like creep , shear stress and strength etc

3) Linearity in the product line

Linearity in the product line mean that it should be group of related product produced by the any one of the manufacturer otherwise it will take time or it may be intermixing

4) Torque of the machine

we know that Torque is a rotational force or a turning force so amount of force multiplied by the distance of the operation

and we know torque per second give the power rating of machine tool

A 1000 kg turbine has a rotating unbalance of 0.1 kg.m. The turbine operates at a speed between 500 to 750 rpm. What is the maxi

raketka [301]

Answer:

maximum isolator stiffness k =1764 kN-m

Explanation:

mean speed of rotation $=\frac{N_1 +N_2}{2}$

$Nm = \frac{500+750}{2} = 625 rpm$

$w =\frac{2\pi Nm}{60}$

=65.44 rad/sec

$F_T = mw^2 e$

$F_T = mew^2$

= 0.1*(65.44)^2

F_T =428.36 N

Transmission ratio $=\frac{300}{428.36} = 0.7$

also

transmission ratio $= \frac{1}{[\frac{w}{w_n}]^{2} -1}$

$0.7 =\frac{1}{[\frac{65.44}{w_n}]^2 -1}$

SOLVING FOR Wn

Wn = 42 rad/sec

$Wn = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}$

k = m*W^2_n

k = 1000*42^2 = 1764 kN-m

k =1764 kN-m
