What are the optical properties of steel

Engineering
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago

Answer:

A selective surface with large absorption for solar radiation and high reflectance for thermal infrared radiation was produced by use of surface oxidation of stainless steel. The surfaces were studied for use with concentrated light in a solar power plant at temperatures of 400°C and higher.

In order to investigate the relation between surface treatment and optical properties, stainless steels (AISI 304 and 430) which were submitted to different chemical and mechanical surface treatments, were used. To increase the spectral selectivity, these surfaces were treated in air and in vacuum at different temperatures and times. The optical properties of these films were investigated. Visual and infrared spectral absorptances were measured at room temperature. The thermal hemispherical emittance and absorptance were obtained by a calorimetric method at 200°C. It was noticed that these chemically and mechanically treated stainless steel surfaces have good spectral properties without further oxidations. This is very important for high temperature uses. The best values are found for samples 7 and 8 under vacuum and air. These two samples with mechanically ground surfaces retained their selectivity and specularity after several hours oxidation. One can conclude that the surface ground treatment confers good selectivity on the steel surfaces for use in concentrating solar collectors with a working temperature of 500°C.

Sample surfaces were subjected to long temperature ageing tests in order to gain some idea of the thermal stability of the surfaces. The results promise better-performing surface and the production of durable selective finishes at, possibly, lower cost than competing processes.

For some metal alloy, a true stress of 345 MPa (50040 psi) produces a plastic true strain of 0.02. How much will a specimen of t
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

K = σT/ (εT)ⁿ

given that metal alloy true stress σT = 345 Mpa, plastic true strain εT = 0.02,

strain-hardening exponent n = 0.22

we substitute

K = 345 / 0.02^{0.22

K = 815.8165 Mpa

next, we determine the true strain

(εT) = (σT/ K)^1/n

given that σT = 412 MPa

we substitute

(εT) = (412 / 815.8165 )^(1/0.22)

(εT) = 0.04481 mm

Now, we calculate the instantaneous length

l_i = l_0e^{ET

given that l_0 = 480 mm

we substitute

l_i =480mm × e^{0.04481

l_i =  501.998 mm

Now we find the elongation;

Elongation = l_i - l_0

we substitute

Elongation = 501.998 mm - 480 mm

Elongation = 21.998 mm

Therefore, the elongation of the metal alloy is 21.998 mm

The output side of an ideal transformer has 35 turns, and supplies 2.0 A to a 24-W device. Ifthe input is a standard wall outlet
Crank

Answer:

The current drawn from the outlet is 0.2 A

The number of turns on the input side is 350 turns

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the secondary coil, Ns = 35 turns

the output current, I_s = 2 A

power supplied, P_s = 24 W

the standard wall outlet in most homes = 120 V = input voltage

For an ideal transformer; output power = input power

the current drawn from the outlet is calculated;

I_pV_p = P_s\\\\I_p = \frac{P_s}{V_p} = \frac{24}{120} = 0.2 \ A

The number of turns on the input side is calculated as;

\frac{N_p}{N_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p}  \\\\N_p = \frac{N_sI_s}{I_p} \\\\N_p = \frac{35 \times 2}{0.2} \\\\N_p = 350 \ turns

2) The switch in the circuit below has been closed a long time. At t=0, it is opened.
saul85 [17]

Answer:

  il(t) = e^(-100t)

Explanation:

The current from the source when the switch is closed is the current through an equivalent load of 15 + 50║50 = 15+25 = 40 ohms. That is, it is 80/40 = 2 amperes. That current is split evenly between the two parallel 50-ohm resistors, so the initial inductor current is 2/2 = 1 ampere.

The time constant is L/R = 0.20/20 = 0.01 seconds. Then the decaying current is described by ...

  il(t) = e^(-t/.01)

  il(t) = e^(-100t) . . . amperes
