Problem 4.084 SI A rigid copper tank, initially containing 1.5 m3 of air at 295 K, 4 bar, is connected by a valve to a large supply line carrying air at 295 K, 15 bar. The valve is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with air to a pressure of 15 bar. Finally, the air in the tank is at 320 K. The copper tank, which has a mass of 20 kg, is at the same temperature as the air in the tank, initially and finally. The specific heat of the copper is c = 0.385 kJ/kg · K. Assuming ideal gas behavior for the air, determine: (a) the initial and final mass of air within the tank, each in kg, and (b) the heat transfer to the air and copper tank from the surroundings, in kJ, ignoring kinetic and potential energy effects.

The value of f depends on two independent variables x and y as defined below:
f(x,y)=x2+y2−x+3cos(x)sin(y)
Function f has a minimum in the neighborhood of the origin (i.e. [0 0]). Find x and y which minimize f.
Note: You are not allowed to use MATLAB built-in functions for optimization. Follow the logic of the derivative test:
The minimum of f occurs where:
∂f∂x=0∂f∂y=0

Two samples of a low hardness steel were tested using a Rockwell C hardness tester and the Rockwell B scale at the same lab on the same day . The difference between the average hardness of the two samples was 0.5 Rockwell C. Do you think there is a significant difference in the hardness? Justify your answer. Hint: Use the specification!!

Assuming the elastic solution for the stresses near a crack tip is valid in the case of small-scale yielding, determine rp(q) for Mode I and Mode II in plane stress and plane strain. Plot a nondimensional rp(q), ( rp/ rp(Irwin)) in the vicinity of the crack tip for several different values of Poisson's ratio.
