Answer:

The volume percentage of graphite is 10.197 per cent.

Explanation:

The volume percent of graphite is the ratio of the volume occupied by the graphite phase to the volume occupied by the graphite and ferrite phases. The weight percent in the cast iron is 3.2 wt% (graphite) and 96.8 wt% (ferrite). The volume percentage of graphite is:

\%V_{gr} = \frac{V_{gr}}{V_{gr}+V_{fe}} \times 100\,\%

Where:

V_{gr} - Volume occupied by the graphite phase, measured in cubic centimeters.

V_{fe} - Volume occupied by the graphite phase, measured in cubic centimeters.

The expression is expanded by using the definition of density and subsequently simplified:

\%V_{gr} = \frac{\frac{m_{gr}}{\rho_{gr}} }{\frac{m_{gr}}{\rho_{gr}}+\frac{m_{fe}}{\rho_{fe}}}\times 100\,\%

Where:

m_{fe}, m_{gr} - Masses of the ferrite and graphite phases, measured in grams.

\rho_{fe}, \rho_{gr} - Densities of the ferrite and graphite phases, measured in grams per cubic centimeter.

\%V_{gr} = \frac{1}{1+\frac{\frac{m_{fe}}{\rho_{fe}} }{\frac{m_{gr}}{\rho_{gr}} } }\times 100\,\%

\%V_{gr} = \frac{1}{1 + \left(\frac{\rho_{gr}}{\rho_{fe}} \right)\cdot\left(\frac{m_{fe}}{m_{gr}} \right)} \times 100\,\%

If \rho_{gr} = 2.3\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}}, \rho_{fe} = 7.9\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}}, m_{gr} = 3.2\,g and m_{fe} = 96.8\,g, the volume percentage of graphite is:

\%V_{gr} = \frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{2.3\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}} }{7.9\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}} } \right)\cdot \left(\frac{96.8\,g}{3.2\,g} \right)} \times 100\,\%

\%V_{gr} = 10.197\,\%V

The volume percentage of graphite is 10.197 per cent.

Ordan has _ 5 8 can of green paint and _ 3 6 can of blue paint. If the cans are the same size, does Jordan have more green paint
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Jordan has more green paints

Explanation:

Given

Green = \frac{5}{8}

Blue = \frac{3}{6}

Required

Which paint does he have more?

For better understanding, it's better to convert both measurements to decimal.

For the green paint:

Green = \frac{5}{8}

Green = 0.625

For the blue paint:

Blue = \frac{3}{6}

Blue = 0.5

By comparison:

0.625 > 0.5

<em>This means that Jordan has more green paints</em>

The Cv factor for a valve is 48. Compute the head loss when 30 GPM of water passes through the valve.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

Explanation:

Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss. Fluid looses energy in the form of head loss when passes through the valve as well.

Given:

Factor cv is 48.

Flow rate of water is 30 GPM.

GPM means gallon per minute.

Calculation:

Step1

Expression for head loss for the water is given as follows:

c_{v}=\frac{Q}{\sqrt{h}}

Here, cv is valve coefficient, Q is flow rate in GPM and h is head loss is psi.

Step2

Substitute 48 for cv and 30 for Q in above equation as follows:

48=\frac{30}{\sqrt{h}}

{\sqrt{h}}=0.625

h = 0.390625 psi.

Thus, the head loss in Psi is 0.390625 psi.

According to the decreasing order of toughness. list the following materials (note: the steels are assumed to have no cold work
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

1090 Steel >1040 Steel > Pure aluminium >Diamond.

Explanation:

Toughness:

  Toughness can be define as the are of load -deflection diagram up to fracture point.

Modulus of toughness can be defines as the area of stress-strain diagram up to fracture point.Modulus of toughness is the property of material.

So the decreasing order of toughness can be given as follows

1090 Steel >1040 Steel > Pure aluminium >Diamond.
