Determine the minimum outer diameter if it is subjected to the gear loading. The bearings at A and B exert force components only in the y and z directions on the shaft. Use an allowable shear stress of τallow = 70 MPa, and base the design on the maximum-shear-stress theory of failure.

Different types of steels contain different elements that alter the characteristics of the steel. for each of the following elements, explain what the element does when alloyed with steel.

Shafts are machine elements that are used to a) carry axial loads b) direct shear loads c) transmit power d) rotate at constant speed e) none of the above circular and square shafts subjected to the same torque under the same circum behave a) the same way b) almost the same way

Awall of 0.5m thickness is to be constructed from a material which has average thermal conductivity of 1.4 w/mk. the wall is to be insulated with a material having an average thermal conductivity of 0.35 w/mk so that heat loss per square meter shall not exceed 1450 w. assume inner wall surface temperature of 1200°c and outer surface temperature of the insulation to be 15°c. calculate the thickness of insulation required.
