Please define the coefficient of thermal expansion?

Engineering
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The coefficient of thermal expansion tells us how much a material can expand due to heat.

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when a material is subjected to heat and changes it's shape, area and volume as a result of that heat. How much that material changes is dependent on it's coefficient of thermal expansion.

Different materials have different coefficients of thermal expansion (i.e. It is a material property and differs from one material to the next). It is important to understand how materials behave when heated, especially for engineering applications when a change in dimension might pose a problem or risk (eg. building large structures).

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 river has an average rate of water flow of 59.6 M3/s. This river has three tributaries, tributary A, B and C, which account fo
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

50421.6 m³

Explanation:

The river has an average rate of water flow of 59.6 m³/s.

Tributary B accounts for 47% of the rate of water flow. Therefore the rate of water flow through tributary B is:

Flow rate of water through tributary B = 47% of 59.6 m³/s = 0.47 * 59.6 m³/s = 28.012 m³/s

The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B = Flow rate of water through tributary B * time taken

time = 30 minutes = 30 minutes * 60 seconds / minute = 1800 seconds

The volume of water that has been discharged through tributary B in 30 seconds = 28.012 m³/s * 1800 seconds = 50421.6 m³

A closed system of mass 10 kg undergoes a process during which there is energy transfer by work from the system of 0.147 kJ per
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

-50.005 KJ

Explanation:

Mass flow rate = 0.147 KJ per kg

mass= 10 kg

Δh= 50 m

Δv= 15 m/s

W= 10×0.147= 1.47 KJ

Δu= -5 kJ/kg

ΔKE + ΔPE+ ΔU= Q-W

0.5×m×(30^2- 15^2)+ mgΔh+mΔu= Q-W

Q= W+ 0.5×m×(30^2- 15^2) +mgΔh+mΔu

= 1.47 +0.5×1/100×(30^2- 15^2)-9.7×50/1000-50

= 1.47 +3.375-4.8450-50

Q=-50.005 KJ
