f. What are the challenges of applying the theories of failure in actual engineering practice and as a design engineer, how would you deal with these challenges.

a. Sketch the state of stress on this element.
b. Determine the maximum and minimum normal and shear stresses and their plane of orientation.
c. If the yield strength of the material is 350MPa, Poison’s ratio is 0.32, and factor of safety is 5, determine the diameter of the shaft to avoid failure.

System of external forces acting on a planar rigid body will cause its motion in a certain
manner. Explain in general how Newton’s laws of motion are used to describe this
relationship between external forces and the resulting motion. Draw free-body and inertia-
force diagrams clearly to illustrate this relationship

why self heating is a problem in RTD's and not in thermisters?

A walk –in cooler 3 m by 5 m by 3m High equipped with twelve 0.6 m by 0.6 m triple-glass doors is used for general purpose storage in a drive-in market (heavy usage). The walls are insulated with 50 mm of expanded cut cell polystyrene, and the cooler is to be maintained at 2°C. Compute the cooling load in kilowatts based on a 16-h operating time if the ambient temperature is 25°C.

A gas turbine power plant operates on a simple Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 8. Air enters the compressor with 37 degrees Celsius and 100 kPa pressure. The highest temperature of the cycle is 900K. The compressor and turbine are isentropic and their efficiency is 90% and 80% respectively. The properties of air will be assumed to be constant as Cv = 0.718 kj/kgK, Cp = 1.005 kj/kgK and R = 0.287 kj/kg, k = 1.4. Since the flow rate of the air entering the cycle is 1000kg / h, what is the net power of the cycle?

A-) 8
B-) 83
C-) 140
D-) 43

A manufacturing process produces piston rings, with ID (inner diameter) dimension as shown above.
Process variation causes the ID to be normally distributed, with a mean of 10.021 cm and a standard
deviation of 0.040 cm.
a. What percentage of piston rings will have ID exceeding 10.075 cm? What percentage of piston rings
will have ID exceeding 10.080 cm? (4)

b. What is the probability that a piston ring will have ID between 9.970 cm and 10.030 cm? (This is the
customer’s specification that the supplier tries to provide .)
(ie.) If the specification is “9.970cm < ID < 10.030cm”, what %’age of piston rings are “out of spec”? (4)

c. Half (50%) of all piston rings have ID below 10.021 cm. What is the dimension corresponding to
the smallest 10%, and what is the dimension corresponding to the largest 10%? What is the
dimension corresponding to the smallest 20%, and what is the dimension corresponding to the
largest 20%

d. Piston rings with ID too small or too large have different problems that the assembly operation
(customer) would like to know about in advance.
From your results in b., how many parts in a production run of 5000 pieces would be above
specification? How many parts would be below specification?

Parts with large ID out-of-specification are charged back to the vendor at $2.00 each. Parts with
small ID out of specification are charged back at $1.25 each. What is the total expected penalty
cost (for the vendor) for the 5000 pieces?

An ideal Rankine cycle with reheat uses water as the working fluid. As shown in the figure below, the conditions at the inlet to the first turbine stage are 1600 lbf/in.², 1200°F and the steam is reheated to a temperature of T₃ = 800°F between the turbine stages at a pressure of p₃ = p₂ = 400 lbf/in.²

For a condenser pressure of p₅ = p₄ = 5 lbf/in.², determine:

(a) the quality of the steam at the second-stage turbine exit.

(b) the cycle percent thermal efficiency.
