A material point in equilibrium has 1 independent component of shear stress in the xz plane. a)True b)- False
ozzi

Answer:

True

Explanation:

For point in xz plane the stress tensor is given by\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Dx_{} &txz\\tzx&Dz\\\end{array}\right]

where Dx is the direct stress along x ; Dz is direct stress along z ;  tzx and txz are the  shear stress components

We know that the stress tensor matrix is symmetrical which means that tzx = txz  ( obtained by moment equlibrium )

thus we require only 1 independent component of shear stress to define the whole stress tensor at a point in 2D plane

The fins attached to a surface are determined to have an effectiveness of 0.9. Do the rate of heat transfer from the surface dec
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: The rate of heat transfer decreases.

Explanation:

Fin effectiveness is defined as the ratio of heat transfer rate from a  finned surface to the heat transfer rate from the same surface if there were no fins.  Its  value is expected to be greater than 1.

Having effectiveness  value of 0.9  which is less than 1 indicates that the heat transfer rate will decrease since a fin effectiveness smaller than 1 shows that the  fin acts as insulation (thermal insulation).

Why is the back-work ratio much higher in the brayton cycle than in the rankine cycle?
zloy xaker [14]

The back-work ratio much higher in the Brayton cycle than in the Rankine cycle because a gas cycle is the Brayton cycle, while a steam cycle is the Rankine cycle. Particularly, the creation of water droplets will be a constraint on the steam turbine's efficiency. Since gas has a bigger specific volume than steam, the compressor will have to work harder while using gas.

<h3>What are modern Brayton engines?</h3>

Even originally Brayton exclusively produced piston engines, modern Brayton engines are virtually invariably of the turbine variety. Brayton engines are also gas turbines.

<h3>What is the ranking cycle?</h3>

A gas cycle is the Brayton cycle, while the Ranking cycle is a steam cycle. The production of water droplets will especially decrease the steam turbine's performance. Gas-powered compressors will have to do more work since gas's specific volume is greater than steam's.
