1.astructural component is fabricated from an alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of it has been determined that this component fails at a stress of 300 mpa when the maximum length of a surface crack is 0.95 mm. whatis the maximum allowable surface crack length (in mm) without fracture for this same component exposed to a stress of 300 mpa and made from another alloy with a plane-strain fracture toughness of 51mpa/m?

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.

A5 kg block of fe is dropped into a very large vat of water. the fe and water initial temperatures are 95 and 25 c, respectively. the fe final temperature is 25 c and the water can be treated as a thermal reservoir,. treated as a thermal reservoir take the water to be the system and determine the entropy generation. report vour answer in kj/k.

A21-tooth spur pinion mates with a 28-tooth gear. the diametral pitch is 3 teeth/in and the pressure angle is 20°, find the following values: the addendum, dedendum, circular pitch, tooth thickness, and base circle diameters.
