Answer:
7.07%
Explanation:
Thermal efficiency can be by definition seen as the ratio of the heat utilized by a heat engine to the total heat units in the fuel consumed.
We will determine the thermal efficiency of the given problem at the attached file.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
Hypo-eutectoid steel has less than 0,8% of C in its composition.
It is composed by pearlite and α-ferrite, whereas Hyper-eutectoid steel has between 0.8% and 2% of C, composed by pearlite and cementite.
Ferrite has a higher tensile strength than cementite but cementite is harder.
Considering that hypoeutectoid steel contains ferrite at grain boundaries and pearlite inside grains whereas hypereutectoid steel contains a higher amount of cementite, the following properties are obtainable:
Hypo-eutectoid steel has higher yield strength than Hyper-eutectoid steel
Hypo-eutectoid steel is more ductile than Hyper-eutectoid steel
Hyper-eutectoid steel is harder than Hyper-eutectoid steel
Hypo-eutectoid steel has more tensile strength than Hyper-eutectoid steel.
When making a knife or axe blade, I would choose Hyper-eutectoid steel alloy because
1. It is harder
2. It has low cost
3. It is lighter
When making a die to press powders or stamp a softer metals, I will choose hypo-eutectoid steel alloy because
1. It is ductile
2. It has high tensile strength
3. It is durable
