A 12.5 mm diameter cylindrical rod fabricated from a 2014-T6 alloy is subjected to repeated tension-compression load cycling along its axis. The magnitudes of the maximum tensile and compressive stresses during cycling are 350 MPa and 50 MPa, respectively. Remember that compressive stresses are negative quantities. Estimate the fatigue lifetime of this cylindrical rod (in years), if it is cycled between these stress states sinusoidally with a frequency of 0.01 Hz. You may assume that the curves in Fig. 12 represent a 100% chance of failure.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?
