Explanation:

The two types of furnaces used in steel production are:

<u>Basic oxygen furnace </u>

In basic oxygen furnace, iron is combined with the varying amounts of the steel scrap and also small amounts of the flux in the Blast Furnace. Lance is introduced in vessel and blows about 99% of the pure oxygen causing rise in temperature to about 1700°C. This temperature melts scrap and the impurities are oxidized and results in the liquid steel.

<u>Electric arc furnace</u>

Electric arc furnace reuses existing steel. Furnace is charged with the steel scrap. It operates on basis of electrical charge between the two electrodes providing heat for process. Power is supplied through electrodes placed in furnace, which produce arc of the electricity through scrap steel which raises temperature to about 1600˚C. This temperature melts scrap and the impurities can be removed through use of the fluxes and results in the liquid steel.

Isormophous phase diagram

shusha [124]

Answer:

Phase diagrams represent the relationship between temperature and the composition of phases present at equilibrium. An isomorphous system is one in which the solid has the same structure for all compositions. The phase diagram shown is the diagram for Cu-Ni, which is an isomorphous alloy system.

State the mathematical expression to define the availability of equipment over a specified time and operational availability?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

$Availability=\dfrac{Up\ time}{Down\ time+Up\ time}$

Explanation:

Availability:

It define as the probability of system which perform desired task before showing any failure .

The availability can be define as follows

$Availability=\dfrac{Up\ time}{Down\ time+Up\ time}$

Or we can say that

$Availability=\dfrac{Up\ time}{total\ time}$

Availability can also be express as

$Availability=\dfrac{MTBF}{MTBF+MTTR}$

Where MTBF is the mean time between two failure.

MTTR is the mean time to repair.

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy$

$T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy$

$T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy$

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.
