This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A pool of contaminated water is lined with a 40 cm thick containment barrier. The contaminant in the pit has a concentration of 1.5 mol/L, while the groundwater circulating around the pit flows fast enough that the contaminate concentration remains 0. There is initially no contaminant in the barrier material at the time of installation. The governing second order, partial differential equation for diffusion of the contaminant through the barrier is:

dC/dt = D( d²C / dz²)

where c(z,t) represent the concentration of containment of any depth into the barrier at anytime and D is the diffusion coefficient (a constant) for the containment in the barrier material.

a) write all boundary and initial conditions needed to solve this equation for C(z, t)

b) Find the steady  state solution (infinite time) for C(z)

Answer:

a) At t = 0, z= 0, c = 1.5 mol/L

at t =0, z = 0.4m, c = 0 mol/L

b) C(z) = z² - 4.15z + 1.5

Explanation:

a)

The boundary and initial conditions are as follows

At t = 0, z= 0, c = 1.5 mol/L

at t =0, z = 0.4m, c = 0 mol/L

b)

The governing second order, partial differential equation for diffusion of the contaminant through the barrier is :

(dC/dt) = D*(d²C/dz²) ..............equ(1)

For steady state, above equation becomes,

(d²C/dz²) =0

Integrating above equation,

(dC/dz) = Z + C1  { where C1 is integration constant) }

again integrating above equation,

C = z² + C1*z + C2    ...................equ(2)

applying boundary condition : at t =0, z= 0, c = 1.5 mol/L, to above equation

 C = z² + C1*z + C2

1.5 = 0 + 0*0 + c2

C2 = 1.5

applying boundary condition : at t =0, z= 0.4m, c = 0 mol/L, to equation (2) ,

0 = 0.4² + C1*0.4 +  1.5

0 = 0.16 + 0.4C1 + 1.5

0.4C1 = - 1.66

C1 = -1.66/0.4

C1 = -4.15

So, the steady state solution for C(z) is:

C(z) = z² - 4.15z + 1.5

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Aluminum

Explanation:

The best material to use when creating an electric fence would be Aluminum. Aluminum wiring is incredibly durable and can be easily obtained. Since aluminum is a non-magnetic metal its conducting capabilities far exceed other metallic options in the market and is also why companies choose aluminum for their high tension cable wiring. Aside from being more expensive than other feasible options its durability and conducting capabilities make it easily the best option.

A 50 mm diameter shaft is subjected to a static axial load of 160 kN. If the yield stress of the material is 350 MPa, the ultima
zvonat [6]

In order to develop this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to fatigue and compression effort and Goodman equation, i.e, an equation that can be used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a materia.

With the given data we can proceed to calculate the compression stress:

\sigma_c = \frac{P}{A}

\sigma_c = \frac{160*10^3}{\pi/4*0.05^2}

\sigma_c = 81.5MPa

Through Goodman's equations the combined effort by fatigue and compression is expressed as:

\frac{\sigma_a}{S_e}+\frac{\sigma_c}{\sigma_u}=\frac{1}{Fs}

Where,

\sigma_a=Fatigue limit for comined alternating and mean stress

S_e =Fatigue Limit

\sigma_c=Mean stress (due to static load)

\sigma_u = Ultimate tensile stress

Fs =Security Factor

We can replace the values and assume a security factor of 1, then

\frac{\sigma_a}{320}+\frac{81.5}{400}=\frac{1}{1}

Re-arrenge for \sigma_a

\sigma_a = 254.8Mpa

We know that the stress is representing as,

\sigma_a = \frac{M_c}{I}

Then,

Where M_c=Max Moment

I= Intertia

The inertia for this object is

I=\frac{\pi d^4}{64}

Then replacing and re-arrenge for M_c

M_c = \frac{\sigma_a*\pi*d^3}{32}

M_c = \frac{260.9*10^6*\pi*0.05^3}{32}

M_c = 3201.7N.m

Thereforethe moment that can be applied to this shaft so that fatigue does not occur is 3.2kNm

We can model a certain battery as a voltage source in series with a resistance. The open-circuit voltage of the battery is 10 V
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

51.4 Ohms

Explanation:

By applying voltage division rule

V_f=v_i\times \frac {R_l}{R_l+R_m} where v is voltage, subscripts i and f represnt initial and final, R is resistance, m is internal and l is external.Substituting 7V for final voltage, 10V for initial voltage and the external resistance as 120 Ohms then

7=10*\frac {120}{120+R_m}\\7R_m+840=1200\\R_m={1200-840}{7}=51.428571\approx 51.4 Ohms

Someone should help me and explain stress strain curve​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

In engineering and materials science, a stress–strain curve for a material gives the relationship between stress and strain. It is obtained by gradually applying load to a test coupon and measuring the deformation, from which the stress and strain can be determined (see tensile testing).
