Historically, the introduction of technology has caused profound changes in the labor market and, temporarily at least, displace

d people from jobs. Discuss whether the introduction of extensive process automation is likely to have the same consequences for software engineers. If you don’t think it will, explain why not. If you think that it will reduce job opportunities, is it ethical for the engineers affected to passively or actively resist the introduction of this technology?

Technological advancement and the need for humanity to obtain faster and more efficient processes in all social sectors has caused a strong automation of several jobs that were previously done manually, by workers. The automation of these services, allows a faster, but efficient, more standardized and more economical production. This has hindered the entry of workers into the productive sector, causing major layoffs, competitions and wage cuts. Agricultural countries, such as Brazil, for example, even replace about 300 workers, with only one harvester machine, controlled by software and only one driver. This scenario is worrying for workers, but this only tends to grow and become more and more common in our society.

However, this substitution of human labor for automation is a reality for manual and manual labor, which is not the case for software engineering. Software engineering works with the creation, monitoring, specification and development of software (which are used in automation, including). These processes need to be carried out by human hands, which shows that automation will not negatively affect software engineers, at least at the moment we live in today.

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11.3 h duration will raise the carbon concentratio
diamong [38]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11.3 h duration at Temperature T1 will raise the carbon concentration to 0.44 wt% at a point 1.8 mm from the surface. A separate experiment is performed at T2 that doubles the diffusion coefficient for carbon in steel.

Estimate the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 mm position for an identical steel and at the same carburizing temperature T2.

Answer:

the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

treatment time t₁ = 11.3 hours

Carbon concentration = 0.444 wt%

thickness at surface x₁ = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

thickness at identical steel x₂ = 4.9 mm = 0.0049 m

Now, Using Fick's second law inform of diffusion

x^2 / Dt = constant

where D is constant

then

x^2 / t = constant

x^2_1 / t₁ = x^2_2 / t₂

x^2_1 t₂ = t₁x^2_2

t₂ = t₁x^2_2 / x^2_1

t₂ = (x^2_2 / x^2_1)t₁

t₂ = ( x_2 / x_1 )^2 × t₁

so we substitute

t₂ = ( 0.0049  / 0.0018  )^2 × 11.3 hrs

t₂ = 7.41 × 11.3 hrs

t₂ = 83.733 hrs

Therefore, the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs

g A steel water pipe has an inner diameter of 12 in. and a wall thickness of 0.25 in. Determine the longitudinal and hoop stress
zvonat [6]

Answer:

a) \mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}

     \mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 0}

b)\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}

  \mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter d = 12 in

thickness t = 0.25 in

the radius = d/2 = 12 / 2 = 6 in

r/t = 6/0.25 = 24

24 > 10

Using the  thin wall cylinder formula;

The valve A is opened and the flowing water has a pressure P of 200 psi.

So;

\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}

\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = 0

\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{200(12)}{2(0.25)}

\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 4800 psi}

b)The valve A is closed and the water pressure P is 250 psi.

where P = 250 psi

\sigma_{hoop} = \sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t}

\sigma_{long} = \sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t}

\sigma _ 1 = \frac{Pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma _ 1 = \frac{250*(12)}{2(0.25)}

\mathbf{\sigma _ 1 = 6000 psi}

\sigma _2 = \frac{Pd}{4t} \\ \\  \sigma _2 = \frac{250(12)}{4(0.25)}

\mathbf{ \sigma _2 = 3000 psi}

A well insulated turbine operates at steady state. Steam enters the turbine at 4 MPa with a specific enthalpy of 3015.4 kJ/kg an
Anarel [89]

Answer:

power developed by the turbine = 6927.415 kW

Explanation:

given data

pressure = 4 MPa

specific enthalpy h1 = 3015.4 kJ/kg

velocity v1 = 10 m/s

pressure = 0.07 MPa

specific enthalpy h2 = 2431.7 kJ/kg

velocity v2 = 90 m/s

mass flow rate = 11.95 kg/s

solution

we apply here  thermodynamic equation that

energy equation that is

h1 + \frac{v1}{2}  + q = h2 + \frac{v2}{2}  + w

put here value with

turbine is insulated so q = 0

so here

3015.4 *1000 + \frac{10^2}{2}  =  2431.7 * 1000 + \frac{90^2}{2}  + w

solve we get

w = 579700 J/kg = 579.7 kJ/kg

and

W = mass flow rate × w

W = 11.95 × 579.7

W = 6927.415 kW

power developed by the turbine = 6927.415 kW
