Arectangular beam of width b = 15 in., effective depth d = 20.5 in., and total depth h = 23 in. spans 18.5 ft between simple supports. it will carry a com-puted dead load of 1.08 kipsyft including self-weight, plus a service live load of 2.29 kipsyft. reinforcement consists of four evenly spaced no. 7 (no. 22) bars in one row. the clear cover on the sides is 2 in. material strengths are f y = 60,000 psi and

When at a point two solid phase changes to one solid phase on cooling then it is known as a) eutectoid point b) eutectic point c) peritectic point d) peritectoid point

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?

Aplate clutch has a single pair of mating friction surfaces 250-mm od by 175-mm id. the mean value of the coefficient of friction is 0.30, and the actuating force is 4 kn. a) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-wear model. b) find the maximum pressure and the torque capacity using the uniform-pressure model.
