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.

A cylindrical insulation for a steam pipe has an inside radius rt = 6 cm, outside radius r0 = 8 cm, and a thermal conductivity k
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

heat loss per 1-m length of this insulation is 4368.145 W

Explanation:

given data

inside radius r1 = 6 cm

outside radius r2 = 8 cm

thermal conductivity k = 0.5 W/m°C

inside temperature t1 = 430°C

outside temperature t2 = 30°C

to find out

Determine the heat loss per 1-m length of this insulation

solution

we know thermal resistance formula for cylinder that is express as

Rth = \frac{ln\frac{r2}{r1}}{2 \pi *k * L}   .................1

here r1 is inside radius and r2 is outside radius L is length and k is thermal conductivity

so

heat loss is change in temperature divide thermal resistance

Q = \frac{t1- t2}{\frac{ln\frac{r2}{r1}}{2 \pi *k * L}}

Q = \frac{(430-30)*(2 \pi * 0.5 * 1}{ln\frac{8}{6} }

Q = 4368.145 W

so heat loss per 1-m length of this insulation is 4368.145 W

3) Explain how dc machines Can work as motor and generator​
weeeeeb [17]

The working principle of a DC machine is when electric current flows through a coil within a magnetic field, and then the magnetic force generates a torque that rotates the dc motor. The DC machines are classified into two types such as DC generator as well as DC motor.
