You are asked to measure non-destructively the yield strength and tensile strength of an annealed 65-45-12 cast iron structural member. Fortunately, a small hardness indentation in this structural design will not impair its future usefulness, which is a working definition of non-destructive. A 10-mm-diameter tungsten carbide sphere creates a 4.26-mm-diameter impression under a 3000-kg load. What are the yield and tensile strengths?

Superheated steam in a piston-cylinder device : Superheated steam in a piston-cylinder device is initially at 200 Â°C, 600 kPa. Heat is removed from the system during an isobaric process until half of the mass condenses to saturated liquid

Unit cell edge length a and the atomic radius : Steels and low carbon iron alloys are by far the most common metals in industrial use. The main element of these materials is iron (Fe). Fe has a BCC crystal structure. Show for Fe the unit cell edge length a and the atomic radius R are related throu..

Strain gages on the outer surface of a pressure vessel read : Strain gages on the outer surface of a pressure vessel read e(l)=0.002 in the longitudinal direction and e(t)=0.005 in the circumferential direction. Compute the stresses in these two principal directions: E = 207GPa and Poisson's ratio v = 0.3. What..

What is the minimum pressure of the entering stream : Nitrogen gas at 300 K flows into a well-insulated device operating at steady-state. There is no power supply to this device. The device has two exit streams, 2/3 of the nitrogen (by mass) leaves at 400 K and 1 bar. The remainder of the nitrogen also ..

What are the yield and tensile strengths : You are asked to measure non-destructively the yield strength and tensile strength of an annealed 65-45-12 cast iron structural member. Fortunately, a small hardness indentation in this structural design will not impair its future usefulness, which i..

Compute the mixture-averaged mass specific gibbs free energy : Using the thermodata computed from the matlab functions to compute the mixture-averaged mass specific Gibbs free energy of the final mixture, as a function of the progress variable (normalized as: 0 for no dissociation, and 1 for complete dissociatio..

What is the pressure change in the gas : A closed volume of 1 m3 of air (at sea level) is heated from 20°C to 400°C. Use the values for specific heat (cv =20.786 J/molK , cp= 29.1006 J/molK) and the specific gas constant R=8.31446 J/molK

Determine heat transferred to and word produced by steam : Steam at 75kPa and 13 percent quality is contained in a spring loaded piston-cylinder device with an initial volume of 3.90m^3. Steam is now heated until its volume is 9.75m^3 and its pressure is 300kPa. Determine the heat transferred to and the word..

Determine the mass flow rate of steam through the boiler : A steam power plant operates on an ideal reheat-regenerative Rankine cycle with one reheater and two open feed water heaters. Steam enters the high-pressure turbine at 1,500 psia and 1,100 degrees Farenheit and leaves the low-pressure turbine at 1 ps..
