Answer:

See explaination and attachment.

Explanation:

Iteration method is a repetitive method applied until the desired result is achieved.

Let the given equation be f(x) = 0 and the value of x to be determined. By using the Iteration method you can find the roots of the equation. To find the root of the equation first we have to write equation like below

x = pi(x)

Let x=x0 be an initial approximation of the required root α then the first approximation x1 is given by x1 = pi(x0).

Similarly for second, thrid and so on. approximation

x2 = pi(x1)

x3 = pi(x2)

x4 = pi(x3)

xn = pi(xn-1).

Tensile Strength (MPa) Number-Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

$\mathbf{M_n = 49163.56431 \ g/mol }$

Explanation:

The question can be well structured in a table format as illustrated below:

Tensile Strength (MPa) Number- Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

82 12,700

156 28,500

The tensile strength and number-average molecular weight for two polyethylene materials given above.

Estimate the number-average molecular weight that is required to give a tensile strength required above. Using the data given find TS (infinity) in MPa.

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

We know that :

$T_S = T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{M_n}$

where;

$T_S$ = Tensile Strength

$T_{S \infty}$ = Tensile Strength (Infinity)

$M_n$ = Number- Average Molecular Weight (g/mol)

SO;

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{12700} ---- (1)$

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{28500} ---- (2)$

From equation (1) ; collecting the like terms; we have :

$T_{S \infty} =82+ \dfrac{A}{12700}$

From equation (2) ; we have:

$T_{S \infty} =156+ \dfrac{A}{28500}$

So; $T_{S \infty} = T_{S \infty}$

Then;

$T_{S \infty} =82+ \dfrac{A}{12700} =156+ \dfrac{A}{28500}$

Solving by L.C.M

$\dfrac{82(12700) + A}{12700} =\dfrac{156(28500) + A}{28500}$

$\dfrac{1041400 + A}{12700} =\dfrac{4446000 + A}{28500}$

By cross multiplying ; we have:

$({4446000 + A})* {12700} ={28500} *({1041400 + A})$

$(5.64642*10^{10} + 12700A) =(2.96799*10^{10}+ 28500A)$

Collecting like terms ; we have

$(5.64642*10^{10} - 2.96799*10^{10} ) =( 28500A- 12700A)$

$2.67843*10^{10} = 15800 \ A$

Dividing both sides by 15800:

$\dfrac{ 2.67843*10^{10} }{15800} =\dfrac{15800 \ A}{15800}$

A = 1695208.861

From equation (1);

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{12700} ---- (1)$

Replacing A = 1695208.861 in the above equation; we have:

$82= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{1695208.861}{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= 82 + \dfrac{1695208.861}{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{82(12700) +1695208.861 }{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{1041400 +1695208.861 }{12700}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{2736608.861 }{12700}$

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

From equation(2);

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{28500} ---- (2)$

Replacing A = 1695208.861 in the above equation; we have:

$156= T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{1695208.861}{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= 156 + \dfrac{1695208.861}{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{156(28500) +1695208.861 }{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{4446000 +1695208.861 }{28500}$

$T_{S \infty}= \dfrac{6141208.861}{28500}$

$\mathbf{T_{S \infty } \ \approx 215.481 \ MPa}$

We are to also estimate the number- average molecular weight that is required to give a tensile strength required above.

If the Tensile Strength (MPa) is 82 MPa

Definitely the average molecular weight will be = 12,700 g/mol

If the Tensile Strength (MPa) is 156 MPa

Definitely the average molecular weight will be = 28,500 g/mol

But;

Let us assume that the Tensile Strength (MPa) = 181 MPa for example.

Using the same formula:

$T_S = T_{S \infty} - \dfrac{A}{M_n}$

Then:

$181 = 215.481- \dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n}$

Collecting like terms ; we have:

$\dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n} = 215.481- 181$

$\dfrac{1695208.861 }{M_n} =34.481$

1695208.861= 34.481 $M_n$

Dividing both sides by 34.481; we have:

$M_n$ = $\dfrac{1695208.861}{34.481}$

$\mathbf{M_n = 49163.56431 \ g/mol }$

List and briefly describe two modern's materials needs

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Modern and smart materials for making the products are improved by developing new materials and find new uses for the existing. As, modern industrialization society is increased demand and quality of the product.

Two modern's materials are:

Carbon Fiber: As, carbon fiber is a strong material and it is light in weight. Designers used it because it is five times strong as steel and two times as stiff. Carbon fiber is basically made out of very thin strands of carbon.

Fiber Optics: It is a new technology as, it is used as transparent solid to transmitted light signals.

A 2-mm-diameter electrical wire is insulated by a 2-mm-thick rubberized sheath (k = 0.13 W/m ? K), and the wire/sheath interface

Svet_ta [14]

Question

A 2-mm-diameter electrical wire is insulated by a 2-mm-thick rubberized sheath (k = 0.13 W/m.K), and the wire/sheath interface is characterized by a thermal contact resistance of Rtc = 3E-4m².K/W. The convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the sheath is 10 W/m²K, and the temperature of the ambient air is 20°C.

If the temperature of the insulation may not exceed 50°C, what is the maximum allowable electrical power that may be dissipated per unit length of the conductor? What is the critical radius of the insulation?

Answer:

a. 4.52W/m

b. 13mm

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of electrical wire = 2mm

Wire Thickness = 2-mm

Thermal Conductivity of Rubberized sheath (k = 0.13 W/m.K)

Thermal contact resistance = 3E-4m².K/W

Convection heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface of the sheath = 10 W/m²K,

Temperature of the ambient air = 20°C.

Maximum Allowable Sheet Temperature = 50°C.
