Answer:

geothermal heating works by moving temperature-conducting fluid through an underground loop of pipes beneath or near your home. This allows the fluid to collect the thermal energy deposited in the earth from the sun.

jolli1 [7]

Answer: hello the diagram related to your question is missing please the third image is the missing part of the question

Fx = 977.76 Ib/ft

Explanation:

<u>Estimate the force that water exerts on the pier </u>

V = 12 ft/s

D( diameter ) = 6 ft

first express the force on the first half of the cylinder as

Fx1 = - $-2\int\limits^\pi _\frac{\pi }{2} {Ps*cos\beta *a} \, d\beta$ ---------------- ( 1 )

where ; Fy = 0

Ps = Po + 1/2 Pv^2 ( 1 - 4 sin^2β ) ------------- ( 2 )

Input equation (2) into equation ( 1 ) (note : assuming Po = 0 )

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

Amanda [17]

Question in order:

A silicon carbide plate fractures in bending when a blunt load was applied to the plate center. The distance between the fracture origin and the mirror/mist boundary on the fracture surface was 0.796 mm. To determine the stress used to break the plate, three samples of the same material were tested and produced the following. What is the estimate of the stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate?

Mirror Radius (mm) Bending Failure Stress (MPa)

0.603 225

0.203 368

0.162 442

Answer:

191 MPa

Explanation:

Failure stress of bending is Inversely proportional to the mirror radius

$Bending Stress = \frac{1}{(Mirror Radius)^{n}}$

At mirror radius 1 = 0.603 mm Bending stress 1 = 225 Mpa..............(1)

At mirror radius 2 = 0.203 mm Bending stress 2 = 368 Mpa...............(2)

At mirror radius 3 = 0.162 mm Bending stress 3 = 442 Mpa...............(3)

comparing case 1 and 2 using the above equation

$\frac{Stress 1}{Stress 2} = ({\frac{Radius 2}{Radius 1}})^{n_1}$

$\frac{225}{368} = ({\frac{0.203}{0.603}})^{n_1}$

$0.6114 = (0.3366)^{n_1}$

Taking the natural logarithm of both side

ln(0.6114) = n ln(0.3366)

n₁ = ln(0.6114)/ln(0.3366)

n₁ = 0.452

comparing case 2 and 3 using the above equation

$\frac{Stress 2}{Stress 3} = ({\frac{Radius 3}{Radius 2}})^{n_2}$

$\frac{368}{442} = ({\frac{0.162}{0.203}})^{n_2}$

$0.8326 = (0.7980)^{n_2}$

Taking the natural logarithm of both side

ln(0.8326) = n ln(0.7980)

n₂ = ln(0.8326)/ln(0.7980)

n₂ = 0.821

comparing case 1 and 3 using the above equation

$\frac{Stress 1}{Stress 3} = ({\frac{Radius 3}{Radius 1}})^{n_3}$

$\frac{225}{442} = ({\frac{0.162}{0.603}})^{n_3}$

$0.5090 = (0.2687)^{n_3}$

Taking the natural logarithm of both side

ln(0.5090) = n ln(0.2687)

n₃ = ln(0.5090)/ln(0.2687)

n₃ = 0.514

average for n

$n = \frac{n_1 + n_2 + n_3}{3}$

$n = \frac{0.452 +0.821 + 0.514}{3}$

n = 0.596

Hence to get bending stress x at mirror radius 0.796

$\frac{Stress x}{Stress 3} = ({\frac{Radius 3}{Radius x}})^{0.596}$

$\frac{Stress x}{225} = ({\frac{0.603}{0.796}})^{0.596}$

$\frac{Stress x}{225} = 0.8475$

stress x = 191 MPa
