Describe what viscoelastic behavior means

1 answer:

5 0

This refers to the mechanical properties of the materials tested by means of a stress stimulus or deformation. The mechanical behavior of a material will depend on its viscosity / elasticity characteristics. Depending on the response to mechanical stimulus, the material may be classified as elastic or viscous. For a perfectly elastic or Hookian solid the deformation is proportional to the applied stress. A viscous material obeys Newton's law, which states that stress and shear rate are related through an intrinsic characteristic that is viscosity.

However, there are materials that correspond to both properties. Polymers have an intermediate mechanical behavior to elastic and viscous, being called viscoelastic. The elastic and viscous contribution to the mechanical behavior of the polymer depends on the temperature and time scale of the experiment.

I have a stream with three components, A, B, and C, coming from another process. The stream is 50 % A, and the balance is equal

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$X_{A} = \frac{N_{Ao}-N_{A}}{N_{Ao}}$

Nₐ₀-Nₐ = 1.33

Nₐ₀ = 2.5

Conversion X = 1.33/2.5 = 0.533

Explanation:

A + 2B + 4C ⇒ 2X + 3Y

Given a stream containing 50% A, 25% B and 25% C, to get the limiting reactant, lets take a simple basis

Say stream is 10 moles, this give

A = 5moles

B = 2.5mole

C = 2.5moles

from the balanced equation above,

1mole of A ⇒ 4moles of C

∴ 5moles of A ⇒ (5x4)/1 ⇒ 20moles of C

also;

2mole of B ⇒ 4moles of C

∴ 2.5moles of B ⇒ (2.5x4)/2 ⇒ 5moles of C

so clearly from above reactant C is the limiting reactant.

Note: To get conversion of a process, we must use the limiting reactant. this is because ones it is used up, the reaction comes to an end

Formula to obtain conversion is:

Conversion = (Amount of A used up)/(Amount of A fed into the system)

$X_{A} = \frac{N_{Ao}-N_{A}}{N_{Ao}}$

where, Nₐ₀-Nₐ = is the amount in moles of A used up

Nₐ₀ = amount in moles of A fed into the system

The next question is what mole of reactant C will give 0.1mole fraction of Y

Recall our basis = 10moles

from conservation of mass law, 10mole of product must come out which 0.1 moles fraction is Y

therefore amount Y in the product is = 0.1x10 = 1mole

if 3moles of Y ⇒ 4mole of C

∴ 1mole of Y ⇒ (1x4)/3 ⇒ 1.33moles of C

calculating the conversion of limiting reactant C that will give 0.1mole fraction of Y

Nₐ₀-Nₐ = 1.33

Nₐ₀ = 2.5

Conversion X = 1.33/2.5 = 0.533

The function below takes a single parameter, a list of numbers called number_list. Complete the function to return a string of t

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The solution code is written in Python:

def convertCSV(number_list):
str_list = []
for num in number_list:
str_list.append(str(num))
return ",".join(str_list)
result = convertCSV([22,33,44])
print(result)

Explanation:

Firstly, create a function "convertCSV" with one parameter "number_list". (Line 1)

Next, create an empty list and assign it to a new variable str_list. (Line 2)

Use for-loop to iterate through all the number in the number_list.(Line 4). Within the loop, each number is converted to a string using the Python built-in function str() and then use the list append method to add the string version of the number to str_list.

Use Python string join() method to join all the elements in the str_list as a single string. The "," is used as a separator between the elements (Line 7) . At the end return the string as an output.

We can test the function by calling the function and passing [22,33,34] as an argument and we shall see "22,33,44" is printed as an output. (Line 9 - 10)

If it is desired to lay off a distance of 10,000' with a total error of no more than Â± 0.30 ft. If a 100' tape is used and the

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

± 0.003 ft

Explanation:

Since our distance is 10,000 ft and we need to use a full tape measure of 100 ft. We find that 10,000 = 100 × 100.

Let L' = our distance and L = our tape measure

So, L' = 100L

Now by error determination ΔL' = 100ΔL

Now ΔL' = ± 0.30 ft

ΔL = ΔL'/100

= ± 0.30 ft/100

= ± 0.003 ft

So, the maxim error per tape is ± 0.003 ft
