Answer:

Polymers are the naturally occurring or synthetic macromolecules that are composed of repeating subunits, called monomers.

The three main classes of polymers are: thermoplastic, thermosetting, and the elastomers.

Thermoplastic polymers have linear bonding. These polymers can be melted again and thus can recycled.

Thermosetting polymers have cross-linked bonding. These polymers decompose when heated and thus can not be remelted and recycled.

Elastomers have linear bonding with some cross-linking. These polymers extreme elastic extensibility and thus can revert back to its original shape after deformation, without causing any permanent damage.

Answer:

1.887 m

Explanation:

(15 *pi)/180

= 0.2618 rad

Polar moment

= Pi*d⁴/32

= (22/7*20⁴)/32

= 15707.96

Torque on shaft

= ((22/7)*20³*110)/16

= 172857.14

= 172.8nm

Shear modulus

G = 79.3

L = Gjθ/T

= 79.3x10⁹x(1.571*10^-8)x0.2618/172.8

= 1.887 m

The length of the bar is therefore 1.887 meters

Consider the diffusion of water vapor through a polypropylene (PP) sheet 1 mm thick. The pressures of H2O at the two faces are 3

Neko [114]

Answer:

$\boxed{0.000000266 \frac {cm^{3}.STP}{cm^{2}.s}}$

Explanation:

Diffusion flux of a gas, J is given by

$J=P_m\frac {\triangle P}{\triangle x}$ where $P_m$ is permeability coefficient, $\triangle$ P is pressure difference and x is thickness of membrane.

The pressure difference will be 10,000 Pa- 3000 Pa= 7000 Pa

At 298 K, the permeability coefficient of water vapour through polypropylene sheet is $38\times 10^{-13}(cm^{3}. STP)(cm)/(cm^{2}.s.Pa)$

Since the thickness of sheet is given as 1mm= 0.1 cm then

$J=38\times 10^{-13}(cm^{3}. STP)(cm)/(cm^{2}.s.Pa)\times \frac {7000 pa}{0.1cm}=0.000000266 \frac {cm^{3}.STP}{cm^{2}.s}$

Therefore, the diffusion flux is $\boxed{0.000000266 \frac {cm^{3}.STP}{cm^{2}.s}}$
