Answer:

Weight of block is 191.424 Kg

Explanation:

The volume of rectangular block = $1*0.6*0.4 = 0.24$ cubic meter

1/5th of its volume being out of water which means water of volume nearly 4/5 th of the volume of rectangular block is replaced

Volume of replaced water = $\frac{4}{5} * 0.24 = 0.192$ cubic meter

Weight of replaced water = weight of rectangular block = $0.192 * 997$ Kg/M3

= 191.424 Kg

A 5-mm-thick stainless steel strip (k = 21 W/m•K, rho = 8000 kg/m3, and cp = 570 J/kg•K) is being heat treated as it moves throu

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace is 819.15 °C

Explanation:

The characteristic length of the strip is given by;

$L_c = \frac{V}{A} = \frac{LA}{2A} = \frac{5*10^{-3}}{2} = 0.0025 \ m$

The Biot number is given as;

$B_i = \frac{h L_c}{k}\\\\B_i = \frac{80*0.0025}{21} \\\\B_i = 0.00952$

$B_i$ < 0.1, thus apply lumped system approximation to determine the constant time for the process;

$\tau = \frac{\rho C_p V}{hA_s} = \frac{\rho C_p L_c}{h}\\\\\tau = \frac{8000* 570* 0.0025}{80}\\\\\tau = 142.5 s$

The time for the heating process is given as;

$t = \frac{d}{V} \\\\t = \frac{3 \ m}{0.01 \ m/s} = 300 s$

Apply the lumped system approximation relation to determine the temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace;

$T(t) = T_{ \infty} + (T_i -T_{\infty})e^{-t/ \tau}\\\\T(t) = 930 + (20 -930)e^{-300/ 142.5}\\\\T(t) = 930 + (-110.85)\\\\T_{(t)} = 819.15 \ ^0 C$

Therefore, the temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace is 819.15 °C

Five bolts are used in the connection between the axial member and the support. The ultimate shear strength of the bolts is 320

lesya [120]

Answer:

The minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN is 45.7 milimeters.

Explanation:

The complete statement of this question is "Five bolts are used in the connection between the axial member and the support. The ultimate shear strength of the bolts is 320 MPa, and a factor of safety of 4.2 is required with respect to fracture. Determine the minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN"

Each bolt is subjected to shear forces. In this case, safety factor is the ratio of the ultimate shear strength to maximum allowable shear stress. That is to say:

$n = \frac{S_{uts}}{\tau_{max}}$

Where:

$n$ - Safety factor, dimensionless.

$S_{uts}$ - Ultimate shear strength, measured in pascals.

$\tau_{max}$ - Maximum allowable shear stress, measured in pascals.

The maximum allowable shear stress is consequently cleared and computed: ( $n = 4.2$ , $S_{uts} = 320\times 10^{6}\,Pa$ )

$\tau_{max} = \frac{S_{uts}}{n}$

$\tau_{max} = \frac{320\times 10^{6}\,Pa}{4.2}$

$\tau_{max} = 76.190\times 10^{6}\,Pa$

Since each bolt has a circular cross section area and assuming the shear stress is not distributed uniformly, shear stress is calculated by:

$\tau_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{V}{A}$

Where:

$\tau_{max}$ - Maximum allowable shear stress, measured in pascals.

$V$ - Shear force, measured in kilonewtons.

$A$ - Cross section area, measured in square meters.

As connection consist on five bolts, shear force is equal to a fifth of the applied load. That is:

$V = \frac{P}{5}$

$V = \frac{450\,kN}{5}$

$V = 90\,kN$

The minimum allowable cross section area is cleared in the shearing stress equation:

$A = \frac{4}{3}\cdot \frac{V}{\tau_{max}}$

If $V = 90\,kN$ and $\tau_{max} = 76.190\times 10^{3}\,kPa$ , the minimum allowable cross section area is:

$A = \frac{4}{3} \cdot \frac{90\,kN}{76.190\times 10^{3}\,kPa}$

$A = 1.640\times 10^{-3}\,m^{2}$

The minimum allowable cross section area can be determined in terms of minimum allowable bolt diameter by means of this expression:

$A = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}$

The diameter is now cleared and computed:

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4}{\pi}\cdot A}$

$D =\sqrt{\frac{4}{\pi}\cdot (1.640\times 10^{-3}\,m^{2})$

$D = 0.0457\,m$

$D = 45.7\,mm$

The minimum allowable bolt diameter required to support an applied load of P = 450 kN is 45.7 milimeters.

Why is concrete on its own not a good material to use

Inga [223]

Answer:

It has poor tensile strength despite having high compressive strength

Explanation:

Concrete exhibits high compressive strength when used. However, it has very low compressive strength. This is the reason why concrete is normally combined with steel to make a composite building material called reinforced concrete. The steel reinforces concrete hence increasing the tensile strength in RC buildings. The end composite is durable and fireproof. Generally, the main reason why concrete is not use on its own is due to its poor tensile strength.

For laminar flow over a hot flat plate, the local heat transfer coefficient decreases with distance because (select all that are

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

B. The thickness of the heated region near the plate is increasing.

Explanation:

First we know that, a boundary layer is the layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface where the effects of viscosity are significant. The fluid is often slower due to the effects of viscosity. Advection i.e the transfer of heat by the flow of liquid becomes less since the flow is slower, thereby the local heat transfer coefficient decreases.

From law of conduction, we observe that heat transfer rate will decrease based on a smaller rate of temperature, the thickness therefore increases while the local heat transfer coefficient decreases with distance.
