Answer:

Atlantis benefited from lessons learned in the construction and testing of Enterprise, Columbia and Challenger. ... The Experience gained during the Orbiter assembly process also enabled Atlantis to be completed with a 49.5 percent reduction in man hours (compared to Columbia).

Answer:

(a) 2.5 ksi

(b) 0.1075 in

Explanation:

(a)

$E=\frac {\sigma}{\epsilon}$

Making $\sigma$ the subject then

$\sigma=E\epsilon$

where $\sigma$ is the stress and $\epsilon$ is the strain

Since strain is given as 0.025% of the length then strain is $\frac {0.025}{100}=0.00025$

Now substituting E for $10\times 10^{6} psi$ then

$\sigma=(10\times 10^{6} psi)\times 0.00025=2500 si= 2.5 ksi$

(b)

Stress, $\sigma= \frac {F}{A}$ making A the subject then

$A=\frac {F}{\sigma}$

$A=\frac {\pi(d_o^{2}-d_i^{2})}{4}$

where d is the diameter and subscripts o and i denote outer and inner respectively.

We know that $2t=d_o - d_i$ where t is thickness

Now substituting

$\frac {\pi(d_o^{2}-d_i^{2})}{4}=\frac {1600}{2500}$

$\pi(d_o^{2}-d_i^{2})=\frac {1600}{2500}\times 4$

$(d_o^{2}-d_i^{2})=\frac {1600}{2500\times \pi}\times 4$

But the outer diameter is given as 2 in hence

$(2^{2}-d_i^{2})=\frac {1600}{2500\times \pi}\times 4$

$2^{2}-(\frac {1600}{2500\times \pi}\times 4)=d_i^{2}$

$d_i=\sqrt {2^{2}-(\frac {1600}{2500\times \pi}\times 4)}=1.784692324 in\approx 1.785 in$

As already mentioned, $2t=d_o - d_i hence t=0.5(d_o - d_i)$

$t=0.5(2-1.785)=0.1075 in$

A furnace wall composed of 200 mm, of fire brick. 120 mm common brick 50mm 80% magnesia and 3mm of steel plate on the outside. I

Liula [17]

Answer:

fire brick / common brick : 1218 °C
common brick / magnesia : 1019 °C
magnesia / steel : 90.06 °C
heat loss: 4644 kJ/m^2/h

Explanation:

The thermal resistance (R) of a layer of thickness d given in °C·m²·h/kJ is ...

R = d/k

so the thermal resistances of the layers of furnace wall are ...

R₁ = 0.200/4 = 0.05 °C·m²·h/kJ

R₂ = 0.120 2.8 = 3/70 °C·m²·h/kJ

R₃ = 0.05/0.25 = 0.2 °C·m²·h/kJ

R₄ = 0.003/240 = 1.25×10⁻⁵ °C·m²·h/kJ

So, the total thermal resistance is ...

R₁ +R₂ +R₃ +R₄ = R ≈ 0.29286 °C·m²·h/kJ

The rate of heat loss is ΔT/R = (1450 -90)/0.29286 = 4643.70 kJ/(m²·h)

The temperature drops across the various layers will be found by multiplying this heat rate by the thermal resistance for the layer:

fire brick: (4543.79 kJ/(m²·h))(0.05 °C·m²·h/kJ) = 232 °C

so, the fire brick interface temperature at the common brick is ...

1450 -232 = 1218 °C

For the next layers, the interface temperatures are ...

common brick to magnesia = 1218 °C - (3/70)(4643.7) = 1019 °C

magnesia to steel = 1019 °C -0.2(4643.7) = 90.06 °C

_____

<em>Comment on temperatures</em>

Most temperatures are rounded to the nearest degree. We wanted to show the small temperature drop across the steel plate, so we showed the inside boundary temperature to enough digits to give the idea of the magnitude of that.
