At a point in a bracket, the stress on two mutually perpendicular planes are 100 N/mm2 (tensile) and 50 N/mm2 (tensile). The shear stress across the planes is 80 N/mm2. Find using Mohr stress circle or otherwise calculate:
c. Principal stresses and the location of principal planes

Design any pneumatic system of any industrial application with
at least 3 outputs.
Please describe the components used.
Example: Bottle Sorting and Labelling: The three outputs can be to
sort the bottle by color or size then Seal the Bottle and later Put
it in a box. This is just an example...you can use any.

A long, cylindrical, electrical heating element of diameter D=
10 mm, thermal conductivity k= 240 W/m·K, density ρ= 2700
kg/m3, and specific heat cp= 900 J/kg·K is installed in
a duct for which air moves in cross flow over the heater at a
temperature and velocity of 27°C and 15 m/s, respectively.
(a) Neglecting radiation, estimate the steady-state surface
temperature when, per unit length of the heater, electrical energy
is being dissipated at a rate of 1500 W/m.
(b) If the heater is activated from an initial temperature of 27°C,
estimate the time required for the surface temperature to come
within 10°C of its steady-state value.
Evaluate the properties of air at 450 K.

b. Two shafts of the same material and same lengths are subjected to the same torque. If the first shaft is of a solid circular section, the second shaft is of hollow circular section, whose internal diameter is 2/3 of the outside diameter and the maximum shear stress developed in each shaft is the same, compare the weights of the shafts

A uniform supersonic airflow traveling at passes over a wedge (as Figure). An oblique shock, making an angle of 40° with the flow direction, is attached to the wedge under these flow conditions. If the static pressure and temperature in the uniform flow are 20k Pa, -10 °C, respectively. Determine the static pressure and temperature behind the wave, the Mach number of the flow passing over the wedge, and the wedge half-angle.

Air enters an air-conditioning system that uses refrigerant-134a at 30°C and 70 percent relative humidity at a rate of 4 m3/min. The refrigerant enters the cooling section at 700 kPa with a quality of 20 percent and leaves as saturated vapor. The air is cooled to 20°C at a pressure of 90kPa .
Determine the rate of dehumidification m˙w= kg/min (Round to five decimal places)
Determine the rate of heat transfer Q˙out= kJ/min (Round to two decimal places)
Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant m˙R= kg/min (Round to three decimal places)

I am trying to understand a few injection molding calculations. I will appreciate your assistance.
How do I calculate part weight for plastic injection molding?
Is it mass * density or volume * density?
My part is 29.126 grams and I am using Polypropylene (PP) which has a density of 0.899 g/cm3 .
Therefore : 29.126 * 0.899= 26.184 grams
To convert to ounce: 26.184* 1/28.3495=0.9236 ounce
Is the above correct?
How do I calculate shot weight? Please explain clearly and give and example.
How do I calculate core and cavity cost?
I will appreciate a clear and well written explanation because I want to understand how its done.
Thank you
