Answer:

A) micro defects are left behind on the surface of metal components during the manufacturing process. These defects, in the form of micro-cracks or pits, becomes initiation sites for crack propagation or corrosion. Removing these imperfections on the surface of metal parts by electroplating greatly improves the life of metal components.

B) it will reduce fatigue crack growth.

Dispersion hardening involves the inclusion of small, hard particles in the metal, thus restricting the movement of dislocations, and thereby raising the strength properties. In dispersion hardening it is assumed that the precipitates do not deform with the matrix and that a moving dislocation bypasses the obstacles (precipitates) by moving in the clean pieces of crystal between the precipitated particles.

C) stress concentrations such as changes in section with sharp corners caused yielding, which will typically occur first at a stress concentration. For ductile materials localised plastic deformation can cause a redistribution of stress, enabling the component to continue to carry load. Brittle materials will typically fail at the stress concentration. Repeated loading may cause a fatigue crack to initiate and slowly grow at a stress concentration leading to the failure of even ductile materials. Fatigue cracks always start at stress raisers, so removing such defects increases the fatigue strength.

A cylindrical buoy is 2m in diameter and 2.5m long and weight 22kN . The specific weight of sea water is 10.25kN/m^3 . (I) Show

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$GM$

So the bouy does not float with its axis vertical

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter $d=2m$

Length $l=2.5m$

Weight $W=22kN$

Specific weight of sea water $\mu= 10.25kN/m^3$

Generally the equation for weight of cylinder is mathematically given by

Weight of cylinder = buoyancy Force

$W=(pwg)Vd$

Where

$V_d=\pi/4(d)^2y$

Therefore

$22*10^3=10.25*10^3 *\pi/4(2)^2y\\\\\22*10^3=32201.3247y\\\\\y=1.5m$

Therefore

Center of Bouyance B

$B=\frac{y}{2}=0.26m\\\\B=0.75$

Center of Gravity

$G=\frac{I.B}{2}=2.6m$

Generally the equation for\BM is mathematically given by

$BM=\frac{I}{vd}\\\\BM=\frac{3.142/64*2^4}{3.142/4*2^2*0.5215}\\\\BM=0.479m\\\\$

Therefore

$BG=2.6-0.476\\\\BG=0.64m$

Therefore

$GM=BM-BG\\\\GM=0.479m-0.64m\\\\GM=-0.161m\\\\$

Therefore

$GM$

So the bouy does not float with its axis vertical

A rigid tank with a total volume of 0.05 m3 initially contains a two-phase liquid-vapor mixture of water at a pressure of 15 bar

Westkost [7]

Answer:

a) $m_{2} = 0.753\,kg$ , b) $Q_{in} = 2122.963\,kJ$

Explanation:

A rigid tank means a storage whose volume is constant. Process is entirely isobaric. Initial and final properties of water are included below:

State 1 - Gas-Vapor Mixture

$P = 1500\,kPa$

$T = 198.29^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.02726\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1192.94\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$h_{g} = 2791.0\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.2$

State 2 - Gas-Vapor Mixture

$P = 1500\,kPa$

$T = 198.29^{\textdegree}C$

$\nu = 0.06643\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg}$

$u = 1718.12\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$h_{g} = 2791.0\,\frac{kJ}{kg}$

$x = 0.5$

The model for the rigid tank is created by using the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{in} - (m_{1}-m_{2})\cdot h_{g} = m_{2}\cdot u_{2}-m_{1}\cdot u_{1}$

Initial and final masses are:

$m_{1} = \frac{V_{1}}{\nu_{1}}$

$m_{1} = \frac{0.05\,m^{3}}{0.02726\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m_{1} = 1.834\,kg$

$m_{2} = \frac{V_{2}}{\nu_{2}}$

$m_{2} = \frac{0.05\,m^{3}}{0.06643\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg} }$

$m_{2} = 0.753\,kg$

a) The final mass within the tank is:

$m_{2} = 0.753\,kg$

b) The total amount of heat transfer is:

$Q_{in} = m_{2}\cdot u_{2}-m_{1}\cdot u_{1}+ (m_{1}-m_{2})\cdot h_{g}$

$Q_{in} = (0.753\,kg)\cdot (1718.12\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )- (1.834\,kg)\cdot (1192.94\,\frac{kJ}{kg} ) + (1.081\,kg)\cdot (2791.0\,\frac{kJ}{kg} )$

$Q_{in} = 2122.963\,kJ$

A sedimentation basin in a water treatment plant has a length = 48 m, width = 12 m, and depth = 3 m. The flow rate = 4 m 3 /s; p

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The minimum particle diameter that is removed at 85% is 1.474 * 10 ^⁻4 meters.

Solution

Given:

Length = 48 m

Width = 12 m

Depth = 3m

Flow rate = 4 m 3 /s

Water density = 10 3 kg/m 3

Dynamic viscosity = 1.30710 -3 N.sec/m

Now,

At the minimum particular diameter it is stated as follows:

The Reynolds number= 0.1

Thus,

0.1 =ρVTD/μ

VT = Dp² ( ρp- ρ) g/ 10μ²

Where

gn = The case/issue of sedimentation

VT = Terminal velocity

So,

0.1 = Dp³ ( ρp- ρ) g/ 10μ²

This becomes,

0.1 = 1000 * dp³ (1100-1000) g 0.1/ 10 *(1.307 * 10 ^⁻3)²

= 3.074 * 10 ^⁻6 = dp³ (.g01 * 10^6)

dp³=3.1343 * 10 ^⁻12

Dp minimum= 1.474 * 10 ^⁻4 meters.
