In one study, the critical stress intensity factor for human bone was calculated to be 4.05 MPa√m. Assuming Y = 1.2 and there is a 2 mm crack present in the bone specimen, what would be the maximum tensile stress that may be applied before fracture occurs? If an average person standing on one leg has a weight of 1.4MPa, will this cause the bone to fracture with a 2 mm crack?

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

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.

The air in an automobile tire with a volume of 0.015 m3 is at 32°c and 140 kpa gage. determine the amount of air that must be added to raise the pressure to the recommended value of 206 kpa gage. assume the atmospheric pressure to be 128 kpa and the temperature and the volume to remain constant.[r-0.287 kj/kgk]
