Explanation:

The two key processes that lead to aircraft ageing are fatigue and corrosion. These processes generally affect the aircraft structure, but can also affect wiring, flight controls, power plants, and other components. Fatigue and corrosion can work independently from one another, or they can interact. The interaction between fatigue and corrosion can increase the rate of ageing to a greater extent than that due to either process alone.

Fatigue predominately takes place in metal components, but it can also affect non-metallic materials. Fatigue occurs through cyclic loading patterns, where a component is repeatedly loaded. Bending a metal paper clip backwards and forwards is an example of fatigue; the paper clip will not break if only bent once, however, if it is repeatedly loaded, it will eventually break. Fatigue failures will often take place at loads much lower than the materials ultimate strength.

Generally, the initiation point for fatigue will be a microscopic crack that forms at a location of high stress, such as a hole, notch, or material imperfection. The crack will then grow as loads are repeatedly applied. If not detected and treated, the crack will eventually grow to a critical size and failure will occur at loads well below the original strength of the material.

The relationship between repetitive loading and fatigue crack growth, creates a link between fatigue related ageing, the number of flight cycles, and the number of flight hours that an aircraft has accumulated.

Aircraft components that are susceptible to fatigue include most structural components such as the wings, the fuselage, and the engine.

During initial manufacturing the research department is responsible for designing the aircraft to withstand fatigue. During operations the fatigue risk management of aviation maintenance will try to rectify the problems due to fatigue.

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?

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
