The housing for a certain machinery product is made of two components, both aluminum castings. The larger component has the shap

e of a dish sink and the second component is a flat cover that is attached to the first component to create an enclosed space for the machine parts. Sand casting is used to produce the two castings, both of which are plagued by defects in the form of misruns and cold shuts. The shop supervisor complains that the thicknesses of the parts are too thin, and that is the reason for the defects. However, it is known that the same components are cast successfully in other foundries. What explanations can be given for the defects

Answer:

The pouring of the molten metal during casting is done very slowly hence the molten metal froze before reaching all parts of the mould cavity. also the early freezing can occur if the temperature of the molten metal was lower than the required temperature for casting

Explanation:

since the same components are being casted at other foundries and they don't have the defects ,

Hence the reason for the defects experienced by these components can be caused when the pouring of the molten metal during casting is done very slowly hence the molten metal froze before reaching all parts of the mould cavity. also the early freezing can occur if the temperature of the molten metal was lower than the required temperature for casting .

Which bulb has the lowest total cost of operation? (a) Incandescent (b) Fluorescent (c) LED
Finger [1]

Answer: LED have the lowest cost of operation.

Explanation:

If we ignore the initial procurement cost of the items the operational cost of any device consuming electricity is given by

Cost=Energy\times cost/unit

Among the three item's LED consumes the lowest power to give the same level of brightness as compared to the other 2 item's thus LED's shall have the lowest operational cost.

It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calc
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength (\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa, Fracture strength

(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa

a) The critical length (L_c) is given by:

L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}}  \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456

You are evaluating the lifetime of a turbine blade. The blade is 4 cm long and there is a gap of 0.16 cm between the tip of the
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given conditions

1)The stress on the blade is 100 MPa

2)The yield strength of the blade is 175 MPa

3)The Young’s modulus for the blade is 50 GPa

4)The strain contributed by the primary creep regime (not including the initial elastic strain) was 0.25 % or 0.0025 strain, and this strain was realized in the first 4 hours.

5)The temperature of the blade is 800°C.

6)The formula for the creep rate in the steady-state regime is dε /dt = 1 x 10-5 σ4 exp (-2 eV/kT)

where: dε /dt is in cm/cm-hr σ is in MPa T is in Kelvink = 8.62 x 10-5 eV/K

Young Modulus, E = Stress, \sigma /Strain, ∈

initial Strain, \epsilon_i = \frac{\sigma}{E}

\epsilon_i = \frac{100\times 10^{6} Pa}{50\times 10^{9} Pa}

\epsilon_i = 0.002

creep rate in the steady state

\frac{\delta \epsilon}{\delta t} = (1 \times {10}^{-5})\sigma^4 exp^(\frac{-2eV}{kT} )

\frac{\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}}{t_{initial}-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}exp(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )(800+273)K} )

but Tinitial = 0

\epsilon_{initial} - \epsilon _{primary}} = 0.002 - 0.003 = -0.001

\frac{-0.001}{-t_{final}} = 1 \times 10^{-5}(100)^{4}\times 10^{(\frac{-2eV}{8.62\times10^{-5}(\frac{eV}{K} )1073K} )}

solving the above equation,

we get

Tfinal = 2459.82 hr
