mario62 [17]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Step1

Float glass is the process of glass manufacturing on the flat surface of metal like tin. In this method molten glass is allowed to float on the surface of metal.

Step2

Float glass gives the uniform and flat surface of glass product. The thickness of the glass produced is uniform throughout. This process of glass making is very cheap and has negligible distortion. Flat glass process is called the float process because of producing high quality flat surface.

A center-point bending test was performed on a 2 in. x d in. wood lumber according to ASTM D198 procedure with a span of 4 ft an
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

3.03 INCHES

Explanation:

According to ASTM D198 ;

Modulus of rupture = ( M / I ) * y  ----- ( 1 )

M ( bending moment ) = R * length of span / 2

                                     = (120 * 10^3 ) * 48 / 2 = 288 * 10^4 Ib-in

I ( moment of inertia ) = bd^3 / 12

                                    = ( 2 )*( d )^3  / 12 =  2d^3 / 12

b = 2 in ,  d = ?

length of span = 4 * 12 = 48 inches

R = P  / 2 =  240 * 10^3 / 2 =   120 * 10^3 Ib

y ( centroid distance ) = d / 2  inches

back to equation ( 1 )

( M / I ) * y

940.3 ksi = ( 288 * 10^4 / 2d^3 / 12 ) * d / 2

                = ( 288 * 10^4 * 12 ) / 2d^3 )  * d / 2

940300  = 34560000* d / 4d^3

4d^3 ( 940300 ) = 34560000 d  ( divide both sides with d )

4d^2 = 34560000 / 940300

d^2 = 9.188   ∴ Value of d ≈ 3.03 in

Find the number of Btu conducted through a wall in 8 hours. The wall is 8 feet high by 24 feet long and has a total R-value of 1
dedylja [7]

Answer:

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu

Explanation:

given data

height h = 8ft

Δt = 8  hours

length L = 24 feet

R value = 16.2 hr⋅°F⋅ft² /Btu

inside temperature t1 = 68°F

outside temperature t2 = 16°F

to find out

number of Btu conducted

solution

we get here number of Btu conducted by this expression that s

\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} =\frac{-A}{R} (t2 -t1)     ......................1

here A is area that is = h × L = 8 × 24 = 1492 ft²

put here value we get

\frac{\Delta Q}{8} =\frac{-192}{16.2} (16-68)

solve it we get

ΔQ = 4930.37 BTu
