A large part in a turbine-generator unit operates near room temperature and is made of ASTM A470-8 steel ( ). A surface crack ha

s been found that is roughly a semi-ellipse, with surface length 2c= 50 mm and a depth a= 15 mm. the stress normal to the plane of the crack is 250 MPa, and the member width and thickness are large compared to the crack size. What is the safety factor against brittle fracture? Should the power plant

Answer: safety factor= 1.26

safety factor does not exceed 2. Therefore, it is not safe to operate.

Explanation:

Express the stress infinity factor (k) that relate to the crack length (Q) applied stress for the centre crack of the plate.

K= Fsq √ πa/Q

Here,

the dimension less function quality is F

Crack length is a

Q= 1 + 1.48(a/c)^1.65

The surface length is c

c= 25mm

a= 15mm

Substitute c= 25mm and a=15mm into the equation

Q= 1 + 1.48(15mm/25mm)^1.65

Q= 1 + 1.48(0.6)^1.65

Q= 1 + 0.630

Q= 1.630

Find the stress intensity factor of the corresponding ratio of 0.4 and 0.12

Where

F= 1.12

S= 250mpa

Q= 1.63

a= 15mm

Substitute into the qequation

K= (1.12) (250mpa) √π(15mm× (1/1000mm))/1.63

K= (1.12) (250mpa)√47.1mm× (1/1000mm))/1.63

K= 2.80mpa √0.0471× (1m)/1.63

K= 280mpa × 0.170√m

K= 476mpa√m

Calculate the safety

Xk= Kk/K

Where fraction toughness is Kk

From the table of fraction toughness, corresponding tensile property for metal at room temperature, select this fraction toughness for ASTM A470-8 steel.

Substitute 47.6mpa√m for k

60mpa√m for Kk

Xk= 60mpa√m/47.6mpa√m

Xk= 1.26

In conclusion, from the above result, safety factor does not exceed 2. Therefore, it is not safe to operate.

Explain the process of energy conversion by describing how energy was converted from the windmill design brief. Discuss the diff
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Wind energy is converted to Mechanical energy  which is then converted in to  electrical energy

Explanation:

In a wind mill the following energy conversions take place

a) Wind energy is converted into Mechanical energy (rotation of rotor blades)

b) Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy (by using electric motor)

This electrical energy is then used for transmission through electric lines.

Tires can be recycled instead of thrown out.<br> True<br> False
Arisa [49]

Answer:

True :)

Explanation:

You can recycle it! Tire recycling is the most practical and environment-friendly way of disposing of old and worn-out tires. Due to their inherent durability, large volume and environment and health risks, tires are one of the most problematic sources of solid wastes.

Hope it helped have a nice day! :)

At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power ge
tangare [24]

Answer:

e= 50 J/kg

Explanation:

Given that

Speed ,v= 10 m/s

Diameter of the turbine = 90 m

Density of the air ,ρ = 1.25 kg/m³

We know that mechanical energy given as

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\ J

That is why mechanical energy per unit mass will be

e=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2\ J/kg

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

e=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10^2\ J/kg

e= 50 J/kg

That why the mechanical energy unit mass will be 50 J/kg.
