Answer:

porosity = 0.07 or 7%

dry bulk density = 3.25g/cm3]

water content =

Explanation:

bulk density = dry Mass / volume of  sample

dry mass = 0.490kg = 490g

volume = πr2h = 3.142 * 2 *2 *12 = 150.8cm3

density = 490/150.8 = 3.25g/cm3

porosity = \frac{wet mass - dry mass }{wet mass} = \frac{0.525 - 0.49}{0.525} = 0.07 or 7%

water content =  \frac{wet mass - dry mass}{wet mass} = 7%

Answer:

Given diameter 4cm=0.04m,lenght=0.12m

Iniatial mass m1=0.525kg final mass m2=0.490kg

dry bulk density =?

Porosity=?

Water content=?

Water content

Mass of water=0.525-0.490=0.035kg

m=Mw/Ms=0.935)0.525=0.0667 Pr 6.67%

Dry bulk density

Recall Density= mass/volume

Volume =πr^2h=π*(0.02)^2*0.12=7.54*10^-3m^3

Dry density=0.490/(7.54*10^-3)=64.97kg

Porosity

n=e/1+e

Were void ratio e=0.0667*2.6=0.1734

Porosity=0.1734/1+0.1734=0.15

A cylindrical specimen of this alloy 12 mm in diameter and 188 mm long is to be pulled in tension. Assume a value of 0.34 for Po
kicyunya [14]

This question is incomplete, the missing image in uploaded along this answer below.

Answer:

The required stress is 200 Mpa

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

diameter D = 12 mm = 12 × 10⁻³ m

Length L = 188 mm = 188 × 10⁻³ m

Poisson's ratio v = 0.34

Reduction in diameter Δd = 0.0105 mm = 0.0105 × 10⁻³ m

The transverse strain will;

εˣ = Δd / D

εˣ = -0.0105 × 10⁻³ /  12 × 10⁻³ m

εˣ = -0.00088

The longitudinal strain will be;

E^z = - ( εˣ  / v )

E^z = - ( -0.00088  / 0.34 )

E^z = - ( - 0.002588 )

E^z = 0.0026

Now, Using the values for strain, we get the value of stress from the graph provided in the question, ( first image uploaded below.

From the graph, in the Second image;

The stress is 200 Mpa

Therefore, The required stress is 200 Mpa

The gas expanding in the combustion space of a reciprocating engine has an initial pressure of 5 MPa and an initial temperature
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

a). Work transfer = 527.2 kJ

b). Heat Transfer = 197.7 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

P_{1} = 5 Mpa

T_{1} = 1623°C

                       = 1896 K

V_{1} = 0.05 m^{3}

Also given \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = 20

Therefore, V_{2} = 1  m^{3}

R = 0.27 kJ / kg-K

C_{V} = 0.8 kJ / kg-K

Also given : P_{1}V_{1}^{1.25}=C

   Therefore, P_{1}V_{1}^{1.25} = P_{2}V_{2}^{1.25}

                     5\times 0.05^{1.25}=P_{2}\times 1^{1.25}

                     P_{2} = 0.1182 MPa

a). Work transfer, δW = \frac{P_{1}V_{1}-P_{2}V_{2}}{n-1}

                                  \left [\frac{5\times 0.05-0.1182\times 1}{1.25-1}  \right ]\times 10^{6}

                              = 527200 J

                             = 527.200 kJ

b). From 1st law of thermodynamics,

Heat transfer, δQ = ΔU+δW

   = \frac{mR(T_{2}-T_{1})}{\gamma -1}+ \frac{P_{1}V_{1}-P_{2}V_{2}}{n-1}

  =\left [ \frac{\gamma -n}{\gamma -1} \right ]\times \delta W

  =\left [ \frac{1.4 -1.25}{1.4 -1} \right ]\times 527.200

  = 197.7 kJ

Estimate the endurance strength, Se, of a 37.5-mm- diameter rod of AISI 1040 steel having a machined finish and heat-treated to
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

endurance length is 236.64 MPa

Explanation:

data given:

d = 37.5 mm

Sut = 760MPa

endurance limit is

Se = 0.5 Sut

   = 0.5*760 = 380 MPa

surface factor is

Ka = a*Sut^b

where

Sut is ultimate strength

for AISI 1040 STEEL

a = 4.51, b = -0.265

Ka = 4.51*380^{-0.265}

Ka = 0.93

size factor is given as

Kb =1.29 d^{-0.17}

Kb = 0.669

Se = Sut *Ka*Kb

    = 380*0.669*0.93

Se = 236.64 MPa

therefore endurance length is 236.64 MPa

How is the fuel introduced into the Diesel engine?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

diesel fuel is pumped at high pressure to the injectors which are responsible for entering the fuel into the combustion chamber,

when the piston is at the top the pressure is so high that it explodes the fuel (diesel) that results in a generation of mechanical power
