Which is an alloy made up of iron and carbon and has high compressive and tensile strength?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: Steel is an alloy of iron with typically a few percent of carbon to improve its strength and fracture resistance compared to iron. Many other additional elements may be present or added. Stainless steels that are corrosion and oxidation resistant need typically an additional 11% chromium.

2.) A fluid moves in a steady manner between two sections in a flow

Talja [164]

Answer:

$250\ \text{lbm/min}$

$625\ \text{ft/min}$

Explanation:

$A_1$ = Area of section 1 = $10\ \text{ft}^2$

$V_1$ = Velocity of water at section 1 = 100 ft/min

$v_1$ = Specific volume at section 1 = $4\ \text{ft}^3/\text{lbm}$

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $0.2\ \text{lb/ft}^3$

$A_2$ = Area of section 2 = $2\ \text{ft}^2$

Mass flow rate is given by

$m=\rho A_1V_1=\dfrac{A_1V_1}{v_1}\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{10\times 100}{4}\\\Rightarrow m=250\ \text{lbm/min}$

The mass flow rate through the pipe is $250\ \text{lbm/min}$

As the mass flowing through the pipe is conserved we know that the mass flow rate at section 2 will be the same as section 1

$m=\rho A_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{m}{\rho A_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{250}{0.2\times 2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=625\ \text{ft/min}$

The speed at section 2 is $625\ \text{ft/min}$ .

A well is located in a 20.1-m thick confined aquifer with a conductivity of 14.9 m/day and a storativity of 0.0051. If the well

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

S = 5.7209 M

Explanation:

Given data:

B = 20.1 m

conductivity ( K ) = 14.9 m/day

Storativity ( s ) = 0.0051

1 gpm = 5.451 m^3/day

calculate the Transmissibility ( T ) = K * B

= 14.9 * 20.1 = 299.5 m^2/day

Note :

t = 1

U = ( r^2* S ) / (4*T*<em> t </em>)

= ( 7^2 * 0.0051 ) / ( 4 * 299.5 * 1 ) = 2.0859 * 10^-4

Applying the thesis method

W(u) = -0.5772 - In(U)

= 7.9

next we calculate the pumping rate from well ( Q ) in m^3/day

= 500 * 5.451 m^3 /day

= 2725.5 m^3 /day

Finally calculate the drawdown at a distance of 7.0 m form the well after 1 day of pumping

S = $\frac{Q}{4\pi T} * W (u)$

where : Q = 2725.5

T = 299.5

W(u) = 7.9

substitute the given values into equation above

S = 5.7209 M

Which explanation best identifies why the company in the following scenario has decided against investing in solar energy?

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The company found the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

Explanation:

Solar energy can be used as an alternative source of supply for fuel. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy, that is it keeps on replenishing every day. Also solar energy does not require a lot of maintenance.

The cost required is starting a solar system is very high because one needs to buy solar panel, photovoltaic cells for batteries, inverters and so on.

From the question, the company decided against solar energy for the time being. This means that probably in the future they might consider it. Therefore it is as a result of the economic situation of the company that they have not set up a solar system because the cost of the required photovoltaic cells too expensive.

A rectangular steel bar, with 8" x 0.75" cross-sectional dimensions, has equal and opposite moments applied to its ends.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Part a: The yield moment is 400 k.in.

Part b: The strain is $8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

Part c: The plastic moment is 600 ksi.

Explanation:

Part a:

As per bending equation

$\frac{M}{I}=\frac{F}{y}$

Here

M is the moment which is to be calculated
I is the moment of inertia given as

$I=\frac{bd^3}{12}$

Here

b is the breath given as 0.75"
d is the depth which is given as 8"

$I=\frac{bd^3}{12}\\I=\frac{0.75\times 8^3}{12}\\I=32 in^4$

y is given as

$y=\frac{d}{2}\\y=\frac{8}{2}\\y=4"\\$

Force is 50 ksi

$\frac{M_y}{I}=\frac{F_y}{y}\\M_y=\frac{F_y}{y}{I}\\M_y=\frac{50}{4}{32}\\M_y=400 k. in$

The yield moment is 400 k.in.

Part b:

The strain is given as

$Strain=\frac{Stress}{Elastic Modulus}$

The stress at the station 2" down from the top is estimated by ratio of triangles as

$F_{2"}=\frac{F_y}{y}\times 2"\\F_{2"}=\frac{50 ksi}{4"}\times 2"\\F_{2"}=25 ksi$

Now the steel has the elastic modulus of E=29000 ksi

$Strain=\frac{Stress}{Elastic Modulus}\\Strain=\frac{F_{2"}}{E}\\Strain=\frac{25}{29000}\\Strain=8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

So the strain is $8.621 \times 10^{-4} in/in$

Part c:

For a rectangular shape the shape factor is given as 1.5.

Now the plastic moment is given as

$shape\, factor=\frac{Plastic\, Moment}{Yield\, Moment}\\{Plastic\, Moment}=shape\, factor\times {Yield\, Moment}\\{Plastic\, Moment}=1.5\times400 ksi\\{Plastic\, Moment}=600 ksi$

The plastic moment is 600 ksi.
