Witch part of the testing and evaluation stage of designing a PDA

Fantom [35]

Summary

Students learn about the variety of materials used by engineers in the design and construction of modern bridges. They also find out about the material properties important to bridge construction and consider the advantages and disadvantages of steel and concrete as common bridge-building materials to handle compressive and tensile forces.

This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Engineering Connection

When designing structures such as bridges, engineers carefully choose the materials by anticipating the forces the materials (the structural components) are expected to experience during their lifetimes. Usually, ductile materials such as steel, aluminum and other metals are used for components that experience tensile loads. Brittle materials such as concrete, ceramics and glass are used for components that experience compressive loads.

Learning Objectives

After this lesson, students should be able to:

List several common materials used the design and construction of structures.

Describe several factors that engineers consider when selecting materials for the design of a bridge.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of common materials used in engineering structures (steel and concrete).

This operating mode assists steering return after completing a turn.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

In return mode, the system assists steering return after completing a turn. Information from the steering position sensor prevents the system from overshooting the center position. In dampener mode, the system acts like a hydraulic dampener to prevent kick back and bump steer.

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1.As it is an isentropic system, it means that the temperature of the fluid remains constant, so the volumetric flow is the same, remember that this is calculated by calculating the product between the velocity and the area.

V1A1=V2A2

1= channel input

2.channel output

We can divide both sides of the equation by the speed of sound(V)

$\frac{V1}{V}A1= \frac{V2}{V}A2$

2. The mach number is defined as the ratio between the speed of a fluid and the speed of sound,

we rearrange the equation

M1A1=M2A2

$\frac{M1A1}{A2} =M2$

3.Now considering that the channel is convergent and that the ratio between the areas is 2, we have the following equation (A1 / A2 = 2)

M1(2)=M2

4.Finally we solve for the number of mach indicated (0.2 and 2.5)

for m1=0.2

0.2(2)=M2=0.4

for m1=2.5

2.5(2)=M2=5
