Wood i-joists enjoy all these advantages over conventional dimensional lumber when used as floor or roof joists except: they use wood more efficiently than conventional dimensional lumber. they are more fire resistant than conventional dimensional lumber. they can span farther between supports than conventional lumber. they don’t have the problems of crooks, bows, or twisting that conventional lumber might have. they have greater dimensional stability than conventional dimensional lumber.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

The filament of an incandescent lamp has a temperature of 2000k. calculate the fraction of radiation emitted in the visible light band if the filament is approximated as blackbody

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux
