Admission to the Engineering course at Cambridge is highly competitive, both in terms of the numbers and quality of applicants. In considering applicants, Colleges look for evidence both of academic ability and of motivation towards Engineering. There are no absolute standards required of A Level achievement, but it should be noted that the average entrant to the Department has three A* grades. You need to get top marks in Maths and Physics.All Colleges strongly prefer applicants for Engineering to be taking a third subject that is relevant to Engineering.
Hope that helps and good luck if you are applying. Can you please mark this as brainliest and press the thank you button and if you have any further questions please let me know!!

What is the key to being a good engineer?
wariber [46]

Answer:

Approaching a problem and finding a solution within given guidelines.

Explanation:

To be a good engineer, you simply need to know how to create a solution to a problem with a given set of restraints or guidelines.  

For instance, let's say your boss wants you to build a machine that can automate some trivial task so he can use the worker elsewhere.  He wants the machine to be low maintenance and under $40,000.

As an engineer, your first thought should be, let's see what this "trivial task" is, and then after your observation, you should begin to pull upon your experience and resources to build a solution that can be low maintenance and under $40,000.

Put simply, when you approach a problem, consider all aspects of the problem and then build a solution that satisfies all requirements.

Cheers.

The 40-ft-long A-36 steel rails on a train track are laid with a small gap between them to allow for thermal expansion. Determin
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Ф = 0.02838 ft

F  = 1,032 N

Explanation:

To find out gap delta,

As it is case of free thermal expansion,

First we start with, some assumptions we have to made to solve this problem.

1. Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Steel is ∝= 6.45 ×10^(-6)

2. Modulas of elasticity for A-36 steel is E= 200 GPa

3. Area of rail is assumed to be unit area.

The gape required can be given by,

Ф = ∝  × ΔT  × L  ... where Ф= Gap Delta in ft

                                          ΔT= Temperature rise in F

                                               = 90- (-20)

                                               =  110 F

Ф =  6.45 ×10^(-6) × 110 × 40

Ф =  28,380 × 10^(-6) ft

Ф = 0.02838 ft     .... total gape required for expansion of steel rails

Stress induced in rails is given by,

   σ     =  ∝  × ΔT  × E

          =  6.45 ×10^(-6)   × 110  × 200

  σ      =  1,41,900 Pa

Now, let's find axial force in rails,

Here,we have to consider  ΔT= 20 F.

As due to temperature change, axial force generated in rails can be find by,

F = A × ∝ × ΔT× E × L

F = 1 × 6.45 × 10^(-6) × 20 × 200 × 10^(-9) × 40

F = 25,800 × 40 × 10^(-3)

F = 10,32,000 × 10^(-3)

F= 1,032 N

Finally, due to temperature change, rail is subjected to axial force, axial stress.

A double-pane insulated window consists of two 1 cm thick pieces of glass separated by a 1.8 cm layer of air. The window measure
Elanso [62]

Answer:

(b). T = 22.55 ⁰C

(c). q = 557.8 W

Explanation:

we take follow a step by step process to solving this problem.

from the question, we have that

The two glass pieces is separated by a 1.8 cm distance layer of air.

the thickness of glass piece is 1 cm

width = 4 m

the height = 3 m

(a). the sketch of the thermal circuit is uploaded in the picture below.

(b).  the thermal resistance due to the conduction in the first glass plane is given thus;

R₁ = Lg / Kg A ................(1)

given that Kg rep. the thermal conductivity of the glass plane

A = conduction surface area

Lg = Thickness of glass plane4

taking the thermal conductivity of glass plane as Kg = 0.78 w/mk

inputting values into equation (1) we have,

R₁ = [1 (cm) ˣ 1 (m)/100 (cm)] / [(0.78 w/mk)(4m ˣ 3m)]

R₁ = 1.068 ˣ 10 ⁻³ k/w

Being that we have same thermal resistance in the first and second plane,

therefore R₁ = R₃ = 1.068 ˣ 10 ⁻³ k/w

⇒ Also the thermal resistance between air and glass as a result of the conduction by the layer is given thus

R₂ = La/KaA .....................(2)

given Ka = thermal conductivity of air

A = surface area

La = thickness of air

substituting values into the equation we have

R₂ = [1.8 (cm) ˣ 1 (m)/100 (cm)] / [(0.0262 w/mk)(4m ˣ 3m)]

R₂ = 5.73 ˣ 10⁻² k/w

Given the thermal resistance on the outer surface due to convection, we have

R₄ = 1/hA

inputting value gives R₄ = 1 / (12 w/m² ˣ 12m) = 6.94 ˣ 10⁻³k/w

R₄ = 6.94 ˣ 10⁻³k/w

Finally the sum total of thermal resistance = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄

R-total = 0.0663 kw

From this we can calculate the rate of heat loss

using  q = Ti - To / R-total ..............(3)

given Ti and To is the inside and outside temperature i.e. 27⁰C and -10⁰C

from equation (3),

q = 27- (-10) / 0.0063 = 557.8 W

q = 557.8 W  

⇒ Applying the heat transfer formula for inside surface glass temperature gives;

q = Ti - T₂ / R₃ + R₄

T₂ = Ti - q (R₃ + R₄)

T₂ = 27 - 557.8 (1.068ˣ10⁻³ + 6.94ˣ10⁻³ ) = 22.55°C

T₂ = 22.55°C

cheers i hope this helps
