(a) Rank the fatigue lifetimes of these three specimens from the longest to the shortest.
(b) Now, justify this ranking using a schematic S-N plot.

Determine the stoichiometric and actual air-fuel ratios and the mole flue gas composition for combustion with 15% excess air for raw indiana, pennsylvania raw coal.

To design a steam turbine to produce 12,000 hp power. a engineer comsiders using a steady state stean low st 1160fr and engineer considers using a steady state steam flow at 1160°r and 450 psia to drive this steam turbine. the exhaust of the steam is cooled by the lake (vacuum). heat losing to the surroundings is measured at a rate of 555.55 btu/s. (a) sketch the system with the given conditions. (b) neglecting kinetic and potential energy changes from inlet to exit, determine the volumetric flow rate of the steam at the inlet, (ft'/hr). must clearly show unit conversions at crtical terms.

Acountershaft is supported by two tapered roller bearings using indirect mounting. the radial bearing loads are 1120 lb for the left-hand bearing and 2190 lb for the right-hand bearing. the shaft rotates at 400 rpm and is to have an l10 life of 40,000 hours and an application factor of 1.4. assume ka2k 15, and find the required radial rating of each bearing
