A hypothetical metal alloy has a grain diameter of 2.4 × 10−2 mm. After a heat treatment at 575°C for 500 min, the grain diamete

r has increased to 5.1 × 10−2 mm. Compute the time required for a specimen of this same material (i.e., d0 = 2.4 × 10−2 mm) to achieve a grain diameter of 5.5 × 10−2 mm while being heated at 575°C. Assume the n grain diameter exponent has a value of 2.2.

Answer:

The time required is 10.078 hours or 605 min

Explanation:

The formula to apply here is ;

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t

where t is time in hours

d is grain diameter to be achieved after heating in mm

d₀ is the grain diameter before heating in mm

Given

d=5.5 × 10^-2 mm

d₀=2.4 × 10^-2 mm

t₁= 500 min = 500/60 =25/3 hrs

t₂=?

n=2.2

First find K

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t₁

K={ (5.1 × 10^-2 mm)²-(2.4 × 10−2 mm)² }/ 25/3

K=(0.051²-0.024²) ÷25/2

K=0.000243 mm²/h

Re-arrange equation for K ,to get the equation for d as;

d=√(d₀²+ Kt) where now t=t₂

$d=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243*t} \\\\0.055=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243t} \\\\0.055^2=0.024^2+0.000243t\\\\0.055^2-0.024^2=0.000243t\\\\0.002449=0.000243t\\\\0.002449/0.000243=t\\\\10.078=t\\\\t=605min$

Mention verious medium level and higher level human resources related to engineering

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Engineering aims to allow technical parts, structures and/or systems, such as those of a machine, to fulfill their function. To this end, occurring and/or desired processes (the operation thereof) are investigated and elaborated. Appropriate parts are designed individually or in a team, occurring stresses are calculated and the parts to be produced are modeled and/or specified on technical drawings. In some fields, maintenance is a standard part of the work to be performed. For a large part of engineering, standards and agreements have been drawn up with a view to the desired safety and practical applicability.

In the construction of a large reactor pressure vessel, a new steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 55 MPa-m1/2

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$l=24mm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Plane strain fracture toughness of $T=55 MPa-m1/2$

Y value $Y=1.0$

Stress level of $\sigma =200 MPa$

Generally the equation for length of a surface crack is mathematically given by

$l=\frac{1}{\pi}(\frac{T}{Y*\sigma})^2$

$l=\frac{1}{3.142}(\frac{55}{1*200})^2$

$l=0.024m$

Therefore

in mm

$l=24mm$

A reversible refrigeration cycle operates between cold and hot reservoirs at temperatures TC and TH, respectively. (a) If the co

podryga [215]

Answer:

a) $T_{H} = 1.967\,^{\circ}F$ , b) $COP_{R} = 9.105$ , c) $T_{H} = 115.934\,^{\circ}F$ , d) $COP_{R} = 6.995$ , e) $T_{H} = 25.129\,^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

a) The coefficient of performance of the reversible refrigeration cycle is:

$COP_{R} = \frac{T_{C}}{T_{H}-T_{C}}$

$10 = \frac{419.67\,R}{T_{H}-419.67\,R}$

The temperature of the hot reservoir is:

$10\cdot T_{H} - 4196.7 = 419.67$

$T_{H} = 461.637\,R$

$T_{H} = 1.967\,^{\circ}F$

b) The coefficient of performance is:

$COP_{R} = \frac{273.15\,K}{303.15\,K-273.15\,K}$

$COP_{R} = 9.105$

c) The temperature of the hot reservoir can be determined with the help of the following relation:

$\frac{Q_{C}}{Q_{H}-Q_{C}} = \frac{T_{C}}{T_{H}-T_{C}}$

$\frac{500\,BTU}{600\,BTU-500\,BTU} = \frac{479.67\,R}{T_{H}-479.67\,R}$

$5 = \frac{479.67\,R}{T_{H}-479.67\,R}$

$5\cdot T_{H} - 2398.35 = 479.67$

$T_{H} = 575.604\,R$

$T_{H} = 115.934\,^{\circ}F$

d) The coefficient of performance is:

$COP_{R} = \frac{489.67\,R}{559.67\,R-489.67\,R}$

$COP_{R} = 6.995$

e) The temperature of the cold reservoir is:

$8.9 = \frac{268.15\,K}{T_{H}-268.15\,K}$

$8.9\cdot T_{H} - 2386.535 = 268.15$

$T_{H} = 298.279\,K$

$T_{H} = 25.129\,^{\circ}C$

According to fire regulations in a town, the pressure drop in a commercial steel, horizontal pipe must not exceed 2.0 psi per 25

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

6.37 inch

Explanation:

Thinking process:

We need to know the flow rate of the fluid through the cross sectional pipe. Let this rate be denoted by Q.

To determine the pressure drop in the pipe:

Using the Bernoulli equation for mass conservation:

$\frac{P1}{\rho } + \frac{v_{2} }{2g} +z_{1} = \frac{P2}{\rho } + \frac{v2^{2} }{2g} + z_{2} + f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}$

thus

$\frac{P1-P2}{\rho } = f\frac{l}{D} \frac{v^{2} }{2g}$

The largest pressure drop (P1-P2) will occur with the largest f, which occurs with the smallest Reynolds number, Re or the largest V.

Since the viscosity of the water increases with temperature decrease, we consider coldest case at T = 50⁰F

from the tables

Re= 2.01 × 10⁵

Hence, f = 0.018

Therefore, pressure drop, (P1-P2)/p = 2.70 ft

This occurs at ae presure change of 1.17 psi

Correlating with the chart, we find that the diameter will be D= 0.513
