Engineering
1 answer:
madam [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Electricity has two hazards. A thermal hazard occurs when there is electrical overheating. A shock hazard occurs when an electric current passes through a person. Both hazards have already been discussed. Here we will concentrate on systems and devices that prevent electrical hazards. Figure 1 shows the schematic for a simple AC circuit with no safety features. This is not how power is distributed in practice. Modern household and industrial wiring require the three-wire system, shown schematically in Figure 2, which has several safety features. First is the familiar circuit breaker (or fuse) to prevent thermal overload. Second, there is a protective case around the appliance, such as a toaster or refrigerator. The case’s safety feature is that it prevents a person from touching exposed wires and coming into electrical contact with the circuit, helping prevent shocks.

Hope this helps! : )

Suppose the working pressure for a boiler is 10 psig, then what is the corresponding absolute pressure?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

From Fluid Mechanics, we remember that absolute pressure (p_{abs}), measured in pounds per square inch, is the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the working pressure (gauge pressure). That is:

p_{abs} = p_{atm}+p_{g} (1)

Where:

p_{atm} - Atmospheric pressure, measured in pounds per square inch.

p_{g} - Working pressured of the boiler (gauge pressure), measured in pounds per square inch.

If we suppose that p_{atm} = 14.696\,psi and p_{g} = 10\,psi, then the absolute pressure is:

p_{abs} = 14.696\,psi+10\,psi

p_{abs} = 24.696\,psi

The corresponding absolute pressure of the boiler is 24.696 pounds per square inch.

A 0.25in diameter steel rod BC is securely attached between two identical 1in diameter copper rods (AB and CD). Find the torque
Helen [10]

Answer:

Tmax= 46.0 lb-in

Explanation:

Given:

- The diameter of the steel rod BC d1 = 0.25 in

- The diameter of the copper rod AB and CD d2 = 1 in

- Allowable shear stress of steel τ_s = 15ksi

- Allowable shear stress of copper τ_c = 12ksi

Find:

Find the torque T_max

Solution:

- The relation of allowable shear stress is given by:

                             τ = 16*T / pi*d^3

                             T = τ*pi*d^3 / 16

- Design Torque T for Copper rod:

                             T_c = τ_c*pi*d_c^3 / 16

                             T_c = 12*1000*pi*1^3 / 16

                             T_c = 2356.2 lb.in

- Design Torque T for Steel rod:

                             T_s = τ_s*pi*d_s^3 / 16

                             T_s = 15*1000*pi*0.25^3 / 16

                             T_s = 46.02 lb.in

- The design torque must conform to the allowable shear stress for both copper and steel. The maximum allowable would be:

                             T = min ( 2356.2 , 46.02 )

                             T = 46.02 lb-in

It is desired to produce and aligned carbon fiber-epoxy matrix composite having a longitudinal tensile strength of 630 MPa. Calc
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Diameter (D) = 0.03 mm = 0.00003 m, length (L) = 2.4 mm = 0.0024 m, longitudinal tensile strength (\sigma_{cd})=630\ MPa = 630*10^6\ Pa, Fracture strength

(\sigma_f)=5100\ MPa=5100*10^6\ Pa,fiber-matrix\ stres(\sigma_m)=17.5\ MPa=17.5*10^6\ Pa,matrix\ strength=\tau_c=17\ MPa=17 *10^6\ Pa

a) The critical length (L_c) is given by:

L_c=\sigma_f*(\frac{D}{2*\tau_c} )=5100*10^6*\frac{0.00003}{2*17*10^6}=0.0045\ m=4.5\ mm

The critical length (4.5 mm) is greater than the given length, hence th composite can be produced.

b) The volume fraction (Vf) is gotten from the formula:

\sigma_{cd}=\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}*V_f+\sigma_m(1-V_f)\\\\V_f=\frac{\sigma_{cd}-\sigma_{m}}{\frac{L*\tau_c}{D}-\sigma_{m}}  \\\\Substituting:\\\\V_f=\frac{630*10^6-17.5*10^6}{\frac{0.0024*17*10^6}{0.00003} -17.5*10^6} \\\\V_f=0.456

The author states that chemical engineering is one of the most difficult and complex aspects of engineering. Why do you think th
marishachu [46]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

answers:

1. Chemical engineering is most difficult because it's a mix of physics, chemistry and math

2. Stoichiometry is so important because it shows how materials react, interact and play off each other

3. Yes I think consumers would notice if process control standards were not met. for example medicines, when people take Tylenol or cold pills, if the amount of time it took to kick it becomes longer, people will become aware that the product is not consistent and reliable.

4. i have no idea sorry :(

5. This is explaining how there are rules and regulations to make the workplace safe. it can be accomplished by following those rules and regulations

-Mn has a cubic structure with a0 = 0.8931 nm and a density of 7.47 g/cm3. -Mn has a different cubic structure, with a0 = 0.63
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The percentage volume change is -3.0%

Explanation: We are to determine the percentage change that will occurs is alpha-Mn is transformed to beta-Mn

Value are defined as;

Cubic structure (a0) for alpha-Mn = 0.8931nm = 0.8931e-9m = 7.1236e-28cm3

Cubic structure (a0) for beta-Mn = 0.6326nm = 0.6326e-9m = 2.5316e-28cm3

Density of alpha-Mn = 7.47g/cm3

Density of beta-Mn = 7.26g/cm3

Atomic weight of Mn = 54.938g/mol

Atomic radius of Mn = 0.112nm

STEP1: CALCULATE THE ATOM NUMBER PER CELL IN THE ALPHA-Mn;

Atom per cell = (density × cubic structure × Avogadro's constant) ÷ (atomic weight ) × 100000

(7.47× 7.1236e-28 × 6.02e23) ÷ 54.938 = 58.31

Therefore the number of Atom in alpha-Mn is 58.31 atom per cell

STEP2: CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF ATOM PER CELL IN THE BETA-Mn

Atom per cell = (density × cubic structure × Avogadro's constant) ÷ (atomic weight) × 1000000

(7.26 × 2.5316e-28 × 6.02e23) ÷ 54.938 = 20.14

Therefore the number of Atom in beta-Mn is 20.14 atom per cell

STEP3: CALCULATE THE PERCENTAGE VOLUME OF ALPHA-Mn AND BETA-Mn

V% = [(volume of atom × number of atom per cell) ÷ volume of unit cell] × 1000

For Alpha-Mn:

[(1.4049e-30 × 58.31) ÷ 7.1236e-28] × 1000 = 114.998%

For Beta-Mn:

[(1.4049e-30 × 20.14) ÷ 2.5316e-28] × 1000 = 111.766%

STEP4: CALCULATE THE CHANGE IN PERCENTAGE VOLUME FOR ALPHA TO TRANSFORM TO BETA

change = final state - initial state

Therefore;

Change = 111.766 - 114.998 = -3.23%

Therefore for a transformation of Alpha-Mn to Beta-Mn they will be a decrease in volume
