A large plastic casting with thermal diffusivity 6.0 x10^7 m2 /s is removed from its mold at a uniform temperature of 150 degrees C. The casting is then exposed to a high-velocity air stream such that the surface experiences a sudden change in temperature to 20 degrees C. Assuming the casting approximates a semi-infinite medium and using a finite-difference method with a space increment of 6mm, estimate the temperature at a distance of 18 mm from the surface after 3 min have elapsed.

Determine the displacement of the vertical edge : A rectangular material sample (2 in tall and 1 in wide) is subjected to a vertical tensile stress of 50,000 psi on its upper edge. The bottom edge of the sample is constrained from displacing in the vertical, or y, direction but is free to expand or ..

Batch of a ceramic material tested two sets of samples : A researcher working on a batch of a ceramic material tested two sets of samples for fracture strength. For one set of samples the specimens were tensile bars with a 10x10x100 mm^3 tensile gauge sections, and another set were bend bars of similar siz..

Octave is defined as a doubling of the frequency : An octave is defined as a doubling of the frequency. The claim is made that a low-pass Butterworth filter of order n has a roll-off (attenuation) of 6n dB/octave. Calculate the gain in dB for a second-order filter for the cut-off frequency itself, an..

Voltage signal is measured-digital data acquisition system : A voltage signal is produced by a transducer. The signal contains its strongest frequency component at 50 Hz (amplitude = 5.0 V), plus a weaker component at the second harmonic (100 Hz) with amplitude 2.0 V. In addition, there is noise at 60 Hz with..

Explain why in the context of heat transfer : Your classroom is held at an air temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. When the outside temperature is 30 degrees Celsius in the summer, you only need to wear a t-shirt. While, when the outside temperature is -10 degrees Celsius in the winter, you need ..

Static pressure and the horsepower requirement : A centrifugal fan equipped with damper control has the damper wide open at full flow. The damper is partly closed to reduce flow to 80 percent of full load. Estimate the changes, in percent, in static pressure, and the horsepower requirement.

Determine the overall cycle efficiency : Assuming a 20 MW simple cycle gas turbine with a firing temperature of 1600K develop an analysis of a combined cycle. Assume that T max in the Rankine cycle is 560 C, P max = 60 Bar, and Pmin = 0.08 Bar. Assume an air inlet temperature of 300 K and u..

Compute the modulus of elasticity of the metal : During a test of a metal bar, it was found that a axial tensile force of 10,000 lbs resulted in an elongation of 0.023 in.
