- Consider a 2024-T4 aluminum material with ultimate tensile strength of 70 ksi. In a given application, a component of this material is to experience ‘released tension’ stress cycling between minimum and maximum stress level of 0 and σmax ksi. As an engineer, you want to have 99.9% chance that the component does not fail before 1,000,000 cycles. What should be the value of σmax?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false

Thermal stresses are developed in a metal when its a) initial temperature is changed b) final temperature is changed c) density is changed d) thermal deformation is prevented e) expansion is prevented f) contraction is prevented
