Answer:The engineering design process usually begins by stating a need or want as a clearly defined challenge in the form of a statement with criteria and constraints. For example, a group of engineers might be given the task of designing, for example, a cell phone with a particular set of features, of a particular size and weight, with a certain minimum battery life, and that is able to be manufactured at a particular cost. Criteria are characteristics of a successful solution, such as the desired function or a particular level of efficiency. Constraints are limitations on the design, such as available funds, resources, or time. Together, the criteria and constraints are referred to as the requirements for a successful solution.

Once the challenge is defined, the next steps are often to investigate relevant scientific and technical information and the way that similar challenges have been solved in the past and then to generate various possible solutions. This generation of potential solutions is the most creative part of the design process and is often aided by sketching and discussion. Using a process of informed decision-making, the designer or design team compares different solutions to the requirements of the problem and either chooses the most promising solution or synthesizes several ideas into an even more promising potential solution. The next step is usually to try out the solution by constructing a model, prototype (first of its kind), or simulation and then testing it to see how well it meets the criteria and falls within the constraints. An additional characteristic of engineering design is that ideas are tested before investing too much time, money, or effort

A part made from annealed AISI 1018 steel undergoes a 20 percent cold-work operation. Obtain the yield strength and ultimate str

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

yield strength before cold work = 370 MPa

yield strength after cold work = 437.87 MPa

ultimate strength before cold work = 440 MPa

ultimate strength after cold work = 550 MPa

Explanation:

given data

AISI 1018 steel

cold work factor W = 20% = 0.20

to find out

yield strength and ultimate strength before and after the cold-work operation

solution

we know the properties of AISI 1018 steel is

yield strength σy = 370 MPa

ultimate tensile strength σu = 440 MPa

strength coefficient K = 600 MPa

strain hardness n = 0.21

so true strain is here ∈ = $ln\frac{1}{1-0.2}$ = 0.223

yield strength after cold is

yield strength = $K \varepsilon ^n$

yield strength = $600*0.223^{0.21)$

yield strength after cold work = 437.87 MPa

and

ultimate strength after cold work is

ultimate strength = $\frac{\sigma u}{1-W}$

ultimate strength = $\frac{440}{1-0.2}$

ultimate strength after cold work = 550 MPa

In what type of automobile is a transaxle most commonly found?

user100 [1]

Answer: vehicles with a front engine and FWD or a rear engine and RWD.

Explanation But the transaxle can also be integrated into the rear axle on cars with a front engine and rear-wheel drive. The transaxle is in the rear where the differential would be rather than beside the engine.

The sliders A and B are connected by a light rigid bar of length l = 20 in. and move with negligible friction in the slots, both

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

- The Length of the rigid bar L = 20 in

- The position of slider a, x_a = 16 in

- The position of slider b, y_b

- The velocity of slider a, v_a = 3 ft /s

- The velocity of slider b, v_b

- The acceleration of slider a, a_a

- The acceleration of slider b, a_b

Find:

-Determine the acceleration of each slider and the force in the bar at this instant.

Solution:

- The relationship between the length L of the rod and the positions x_a and x_b of sliders A & B is as follows:

L^2 = x_a^2 + y_b^2 ....... 1

y_b = sqrt( 20^2 - 16^2 )

y_b = 12

- The velocity expression can derived by taking a derivation of Eq 1 with respect to time t:

0 = 2*x_a*v_a + 2*y_b*v_b

0 = x_a*v_a + y_b*v_b ..... 2

0 = 16*36 + 12*v_b

v_b = - 48 in /s = -4 ft/s

- Similarly, the acceleration expression can be derived by taking a derivative of Eq 2 with respect to time t:

0 = v_a^2 + x_a*a_a + v_b^2 + y_b*a_b

0 = 9 + 4*a_a/3 + 16 + a_b

4*a_a/3 + a_b = -25

4*a_a + 3*a_b = -75 .... 3

- Use dynamics on each slider. For Slider A, Apply Newton's second law of motion in x direction:

F_x = m_a*a_a

P - R_r*16/20 = m_a*a_a

- For Slider B, Apply Newton's second law of motion in y direction:

F_y = m_b*a_b

- R_r*12/20 = m_b*a_b

- Combine the two dynamic equations:

P - 4*m_b*a_b / 3 = m_a*a_a

3P = 3*m_a*a_a + 4*m_b*a_b ... 4

- Where, P = Is the force acting on slider A

P , m_a and m_b are known quantities but not given in question. We are to solve Eq 3 and Eq 4 simultaneously for a_a and a_b.

A steam turbine in a power plant receives 5 kg/s steam at 3000 kPa, 500°C. Twenty percent of the flow is extracted at 1000 kPa t

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The temperature of the first exit (feed to water heater) is at 330.15ºC. The second exit (exit of the turbine) is at 141ºC. The turbine Power output (if efficiency is %100) is 3165.46 KW

Explanation:

If we are talking of a steam turbine, the work done by the steam is done in an adiabatic process. To determine the temperature of the 2 exits, we have to find at which temperature of the steam with 1000KPa and 200KPa we have the same entropy of the steam entrance.

In this case for steam at 3000 kPa, 500°C, s= 7.2345Kj/kg K. i=3456.18 KJ/Kg

For steam at 1000 kPa and s= 7.2345Kj/kg K → T= 330.15ºC i=3116.48KJ/Kg

For steam at 200 kPa and s= 7.2345Kj/kg K → T= 141ºC i=2749.74KJ/Kg

For the power output, we have to multiply the steam flow with the enthalpic jump.

The addition of the 2 jumps is the total power output.
