Answer:

a)exit velocity of the steam, V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) the amount of entropy produced is 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100 psi

V1 = 100 ft./sec

T1 = 500f

P2 = 40 psi

n = 95% = 0.95

a) for nozzle:

Let's apply steady gas equation.

$h_1 + \frac{(v_1) ^2}{2} = h_2 + \frac{(v_2)^2}{2}$

h1 and h2 = inlet and exit enthalpy respectively.

At T1 = 500f and P1 = 100 psi,

h1 = 1278.8 Btu/Ibm

s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At P2 = 40psi and s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

1193.5 Btu/Ibm

Let's find the actual h2 using the formula :

$n = \frac{h_1 - h_2*}{h_1 - h_2}$

$n = \frac{1278.8 - h_2*}{1278.8 - 1193.5}$

solving for h2, we have

$h_2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm$

Take Btu/Ibm = 25037 ft²/s²

Using the first equation, exit velocity of the steam =

$(1278.8 * 25037) + \frac{(100)^2}{2}= (1197.77*25037)+ \frac{(V_2)^2}{2}$

Solving for V2, we have

V2 = 2016.8 ft/s

b) The amount of entropy produced in BTU/ lbm R will be calculated using :

Δs = s2 - s1

Where s1 = 1.708 Btu/Ibm.R

At h2 = 1197.77 Btu/Ibm and P2 =40 psi,

S2 = 1.714 Btu/Ibm.R

Therefore, amount of entropy produced will be:

Δs = 1.714Btu/Ibm.R - 1.708Btu/Ibm.R

= 0.006 Btu/Ibm.R

Consider a single crystal of nickel oriented such that a tensile stress is applied along a [001] direction. If slip occurs on a

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$\mathbf{\tau_c =5.675 \ MPa}$

Explanation:

Given that:

The direction of the applied tensile stress =[001]

direction of the slip plane = [ $\bar 1$ 01]

normal to the slip plane = [111]

Now, the first thing to do is to calculate the angle between the tensile stress and the slip by using the formula:

$cos \lambda = \Big [\dfrac{d_1d_2+e_1e_2+f_1f_2}{\sqrt{(d_1^2+e_1^2+f_1^2)+(d_2^2+e_2^2+f_2^2) }} \Big]$

where;

$[d_1\ e_1 \ f_1]$ = directional indices for tensile stress

$[d_2 \ e_2 \ f_2]$ = slip direction

replacing their values;

i.e $d_1$ = 0 , $e_1$ = 0 $f_1$ = 1 & $d_2$ = -1 , $e_2$ = 0 , $f_2$ = 1

$cos \lambda = \Big [\dfrac{(0\times -1)+(0\times 0) + (1\times 1) }{\sqrt{(0^2+0^2+1^2)+((-1)^2+0^2+1^2) }} \Big]$

$cos \ \lambda = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Also, to find the angle $\phi$ between the stress [001] & normal slip plane [111]

Then;

$cos \ \phi = \Big [\dfrac{d_1d_3+e_1e_3+f_1f_3}{\sqrt{(d_1^2+e_1^2+f_1^2)+(d_3^2+e_3^2+f_3^2) }} \Big]$

replacing their values;

i.e $d_1$ = 0 , $e_1$ = 0 $f_1$ = 1 & $d_3$ = 1 , $e_3$ = 1 , $f_3$ = 1

$cos \ \phi= \Big [ \dfrac{ (0 \times 1)+(0 \times 1)+(1 \times 1)} {\sqrt {(0^2+0^2+1^2)+(1^2+1^2 +1^2)} } \Big]$

$cos \phi= \dfrac{1} {\sqrt{3} }$

However, the critical resolved SS(shear stress) $\mathbf{\tau_c}$ can be computed using the formula:

$\tau_c = (\sigma )(cos \phi )(cos \lambda)$

where;

applied tensile stress $\sigma =$ 13.9 MPa

∴

$\tau_c =13.9\times ( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} )( \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$

$\mathbf{\tau_c =5.675 \ MPa}$

The 40-ft-long A-36 steel rails on a train track are laid with a small gap between them to allow for thermal expansion. Determin

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Ф = 0.02838 ft

F = 1,032 N

Explanation:

To find out gap delta,

As it is case of free thermal expansion,

First we start with, some assumptions we have to made to solve this problem.

1. Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Steel is ∝= 6.45 ×10^(-6)

2. Modulas of elasticity for A-36 steel is E= 200 GPa

3. Area of rail is assumed to be unit area.

The gape required can be given by,

Ф = ∝ × ΔT × L ... where Ф= Gap Delta in ft

ΔT= Temperature rise in F

= 90- (-20)

= 110 F

Ф = 6.45 ×10^(-6) × 110 × 40

Ф = 28,380 × 10^(-6) ft

Ф = 0.02838 ft .... total gape required for expansion of steel rails

Stress induced in rails is given by,

σ = ∝ × ΔT × E

= 6.45 ×10^(-6) × 110 × 200

σ = 1,41,900 Pa

Now, let's find axial force in rails,

Here,we have to consider ΔT= 20 F.

As due to temperature change, axial force generated in rails can be find by,

F = A × ∝ × ΔT× E × L

F = 1 × 6.45 × 10^(-6) × 20 × 200 × 10^(-9) × 40

F = 25,800 × 40 × 10^(-3)

F = 10,32,000 × 10^(-3)

F= 1,032 N

Finally, due to temperature change, rail is subjected to axial force, axial stress.
