Answer:

The Decision Matrix

As you compare potential solutions to your design brief and the universal criteria for a good design, it may be obvious which solution is the best. ... A decision matrix is a chart with your requirements and criteria on one axis and the different solutions on the other.

The kinetic energy correction factor depends on the (shape — volume - mass) of the cross section Of the pipe and the (velocity —

butalik [34]

Answer:

The kinetic energy correction factor the depends on the shape of the cross section of the pipe and the velocity distribution.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy correction factor take into account that the velocity distribution over the pipe cross section is not uniform. In that case, neither the pressure nor the temperature are involving and as we can notice, the velocity distribution depends only on the shape of the cross section.

Calculate the reactions at 4 ends (supports) of this bookshelf. Assume that the weight of each book is approximately 1 lb. The w

hoa [83]

Answer:

R = 4.75 lb (↑)

Explanation:

Number of books = n = 19

Weight of each book = W = 1 lb

Length of the bookshelf = L = 40 inches

We can get the value of the distributed load as follows

q = n*W/L = 19*1 lb/ 40 inches = 0.475 lb/in

then the reactions at 4 ends (supports) of the bookshelf are

R = (q/2)/2 = 4.75 lb

We can see the bookshelf in the pic.

What is the difference Plastic vs elastic deformation.

Reika [66]

Answer:

What is the difference Plastic vs elastic deformation

Explanation:

The elastic deformation occurs when a low stress is apply over a metal or metal structure, in this process, the stress' deformation is temporary and it's recover after the stress is removed. In other words, this DOES NOT affects the atoms separation.

The plastic deformation occurs when the stress apply over the metal or metal structure is sufficient to deform the atomic structure making the atoms split, this is a crystal separation on a limited amount of atoms' bonds.

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11.3 h duration will raise the carbon concentratio

diamong [38]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11.3 h duration at Temperature T1 will raise the carbon concentration to 0.44 wt% at a point 1.8 mm from the surface. A separate experiment is performed at T2 that doubles the diffusion coefficient for carbon in steel.

Estimate the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 mm position for an identical steel and at the same carburizing temperature T2.

Answer:

the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

treatment time t₁ = 11.3 hours

Carbon concentration = 0.444 wt%

thickness at surface x₁ = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

thickness at identical steel x₂ = 4.9 mm = 0.0049 m

Now, Using Fick's second law inform of diffusion

$x^2$ / Dt = constant

where D is constant

then

$x^2$ / t = constant

$x^2_1$ / t₁ = $x^2_2$ / t₂

$x^2_1$ t₂ = t₁ $x^2_2$

t₂ = t₁ $x^2_2$ / $x^2_1$

t₂ = ( $x^2_2$ / $x^2_1$ )t₁

t₂ = $($ $x_2$ / $x_1$ $)^2$ × t₁

so we substitute

t₂ = $($ 0.0049 / 0.0018 $)^2$ × 11.3 hrs

t₂ = 7.41 × 11.3 hrs

t₂ = 83.733 hrs

Therefore, the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs

A 1020 CD steel shaft is to transmit 15 kW while rotating at 1750 rpm. Determine the minimum diameter for the shaft to provide a

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

diameter is 14 mm

Explanation:

given data

power = 15 kW

rotation N = 1750 rpm

factor of safety = 3

to find out

minimum diameter

solution

we will apply here power formula to find T that is

power = 2π×N×T / 60 .................1

put here value

15 × $10^{3}$ = 2π×1750×T / 60

T = 81.84 Nm

and

torsion = T / Z ..........2

here Z is section modulus i.e = πd³/ 16

so from equation 2

torsion = 81.84 / πd³/ 16

so torsion = 416.75 / / d³ .................3

so from shear stress theory

torsion = σy / factor of safety

so here σy = 530 for 1020 steel

torsion = σy / factor of safety

416.75 / d³ = 530 × $10^{6}$ / 3

so d = 0.0133 m

so diameter is 14 mm
