A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite having a cross-sectional area of 1130 mm2is subjected to an external tensile load. If the stresses sustained by the fiber and matrix phases are 156 MPa and 2.75 MPa, respectively, the force sustained by the fiber phase is 74,000 Nand the total longitudinal strain is1.25x 10-3, determine (a)the force sustained by the matrix phase, (b)the modulus of elasticity of the composite material in the longitudinal direction, and (c)the moduli of elasticity for the fiber and matrix phases.

Acommercial grade cubical freezer, 4 m on a side, has a composite wall consisting of an exterior sheet of 5.0-mm thick plain carbon steel (kst= 60.5 w/m k), an intermediate layer of 100-mm thick polyurethane insulation (kins 0.02 w/m k), and an inner sheet of 5.0- mm thick aluminium alloy (kal polyurethane insulation and both metallic sheets are each characterized by a thermal contact resistance of r 2.5 x 104 m2 k/w. (a) what is the steady-state cooling load that must be maintained by the refrigerator under conditions for which the outer and inner surface temperatures are 25°c and -5°c, respectively? (b) for power saving purpose, which wall material should be increased/reduced in. thickness in order to reduce 50% of the cooling load found in part (a)? redesign the thickness of the proposed material. 177 w/m-k). adhesive interfaces between the q=575.93 w
