A rectangular block of material with shear modulus G= 620 MPa is fixed to rigid plates at its top and bottom surfaces. Thelower

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

γ $_{xy}$ =0.01, P=248 kN

Explanation:

Given Data:

displacement = 2mm ;

height = 200mm ;

l = 400mm ;

w = 100 ;

G = 620 MPa = 620 N//mm²; 1MPa = 1N//mm²

a. Average Shear Strain:

The average shear strain can be determined by dividing the total displacement of plate by height

γ $_{xy}$ = displacement / total height

= 2/200 = 0.01

b. Force P on upper plate:

Now, as we know that force per unit area equals to stress

τ = P/A

Also, τ = Gγ $_{xy}$

By comapring both equations, we get

P/A = Gγ $_{xy}$ ------------ eq(1)

First we need to calculate total area,

A = l*w = 400 * 100= 4*10^4mm²

By putting the values in equation 1, we get

P/40000 = 620 * 0.01

P = 248000 N or 2.48 *10^5 N or 248 kN

For some transformation having kinetics that obey the Avrami equation (Equation 10.17), the parameter n is known to have a value

OleMash [197]

Answer:

t = 25.10 sec

Explanation:

we know that Avrami equation

$Y = 1 - e^{-kt^n}$

here Y is percentage of completion of reaction = 50%

t is duration of reaction = 146 sec

so,

$0.50 = 1 - e^{-k^146^2.1}$

$0.50 = e^{-k306.6}$

taking natural log on both side

ln(0.5) = -k(306.6)

$k = 2.26\times 10^{-3}$

for 86 % completion

$0.86 = 1 - e^{-2.26\times 10^{-3} \times t^{2.1}}$

$e^{-2.26\times 10^{-3} \times t^{2.1}} = 0.14$

$-2.26\times 10^{-3} \times t^{2.1} = ln(0.14)$

$t^{2.1} = 869.96$

t = 25.10 sec

Which option should the engineers focus on as they develop the train in the following scenario?

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Engineers can design a train with a regenerative braking system

Explanation:

Assuming the point of the question is that the engineers want to focus on using energy efficiently when starting and stopping, they would likely want to consider a regenerative braking system. Such a system can store energy during braking so that it can be used during starting, reducing the amount of energy that must be supplied by an outside power source.
