The theoretical failure strength of high-purity and fully-dense aluminum oxide (Al2O3, alumina) can be up to 4 GPa !
In other words, a pristine alumina sample is expected to support this stress, even in tension, since no stress magnifying flaws would be present.
Think about that for a second ... most metals yield (bend permanently) at stress levels on the order of 0.1 - 0.5 GPa ... and this is considered their upper limit for structural use.
Ceramics like alumina have such high bond strengths that they can theoretically be stretched in tension, elastically, to much higher stresses ... 4 GPa in this case.
Unfortunately, most ceramic specimens rarely exhibit their theoretical strength value due to microscopic flaws that are inevitably present in specimens that have been handled, transported, etc.
For an alumina specimen, what is the minimum stress at which failure is expected to occur, in MPa, if it features an elliptical surface scratch whose length is 2.43 mm and whose tip radius is 190 nm ?

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
