In a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) material, let a represent the interatomic spacing within a close-packed layer (plane), and let c represent the lattice parameter normal (perpendicular) to these layers. There are two close-packed layers stacked along c in the conventional unit cell, as described in Lecture 3. (i) Find an expression for a in terms of the atomic radius R. (ii) Now imagine the same close-packed layers, made from the same atoms as before (i.e. R does not change), but now stacked to form a cubic close packed (CCP) material. There are three close-packed layers stacked along the body diagonal of the conventional face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell of CCP material. Find an expression that relates the atomic radius R to the close-packed layer spacing in this unit cell. (Hint: both R and the close-packed layer spacing can be written in terms of the length of any edge of the FCC unit cell.) (iii) Use your answer from (ii) to obtain an expression that relates c to R in the HCP structure. (iv) Use your answers from (i) and (iii) to show that c/a ~ 1.633 in perfect HCP materials. (v) Many HCP materials do not have this ideal value of c/a. What is the practical significance / consequence of departures from the ideal c/a value?

A vessel initially contains 5.0 kg of liquid water and 2.0 kg of ice at 0 C. Energy is added until the ice has just melted. The temperature at the boundary where heat transfer occurs is taken to be the system temperature during the process. The enthalpy of melting ice is 333.5 kJ/kg. Consider the following processes used to melt the ice.
a.) Heat is added to from the environment at 20 C. Determine the entropy flux and the total entropy generation, both in kJ/K.
b.) Heat is added from a reservoir at 727 C. Determine the same quantities as in part a.
c.) Paddle-wheel work is used to change the state. Determine the total entropy production for the process, in kJ/k.
d.) Comment on the relative degree of irreversibility for the three processes.

Water is the working fluid in an ideal Rankine cycle. Saturated
vapor enters the turbine at 16 MPa, and the condenser pressure is 8
kPa. The mass flow rate of steam entering the turbine is 50
kg/s.
Determine:
(a) the net power developed, in kW.
(b) the rate of heat transfer to the steam passing through the
boiler, in kW.
(c) the percent thermal efficiency.
(d) the mass flow rate of condenser cooling water, in kg/s, if the
cooling water undergoes a temperature increase of 18°C with
negligible pressure change in passing through the condenser.

For this activity, your assignment is to develop and complete a guide to materials handling hazards and controls. You will need to develop a document that includes the following sections:
General Materials Handling
Manual Materials Handling
Jacks
Hand-Operated Materials Handling Vehicles
Powered Vehicles and Forklifts
Hoisting Apparatus
Ropes, Chains, and Slings
Conveyors
Elevators, Escalators and Manlifts
Bulk Materials, Excavation and Trenching
Storage of Materials
For each section, you should make a list of hazards and controls. You can make a bulleted list and include the items under two sections (hazards & controls) under each main section (1-11 above). This sheet should then be saved and submitted for a grade. The document does not have to be submitted in APA format. This is a document that you should utilize as a pocket guide as a safety professional. The document can also be utilized to develop inspection and possibly audit forms to identify and assess hazards associated with materials handling in work environments. The information can also be used to recommend controls for identified hazards. The information in your guide should be derived from your course text, supplement readings and other published resources and technical documents on the subject matter.

"The students are expected to visit any company of
their choice and find out how they do their
maintenance budget. Conduct interviews with va
rious levels of personnel. The student is
expected to present a typed three- pages report

For this question (Determine the velocity of the 60 kg block A if the two blocks are released from rest and the 40 kg block B moves 0.6 m up the in cline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between both blocks and the inclined planes is = 0.05.), how is T(2) = 110 V(a)^2 instead of T(2) = -50V(a)^2

You are to present a research proposal with regards to the topic of "Investigation of the Mechanical Properties of Atherosclerotic Plaque Tissue", however for this to be successful, a "good" research question(s) must be made. Give examples of "good" research question(s) to motivate the said topic and go further from here. The idea need not to be original but should be researchable and presentable to fellow academics. The Internet is there at your disposal. It is important to take into consideration that this research question(s) can define the topic, define the research nature of the research endeavour (i.e. to explain, to discover, to describe, to compare etc.), define the questions of interest (i.e. who, what, when, why or how etc.), define the constructs and variables and what their effects are.

Consider a small Pelton wheel hydro turbine, with a total head (reservoir surface to nozzle elevation difference) of Ht = 200 ft. The flowrate to the turbine is 185 gal/s. If the pipe (penstock) feeding the turbine has a length of 1000 ft, a diameter of 19.6 in, and a friction factor of f = 0.005, determine the percent of total head lost in the pipe (penstock). Submit your answer as a percentage but without the percent symbol. ***NOTE: The value of the friction factor f is consistent with the definition in our textbook (and may differ from other textbooks). Using our textbook's notation, you could also use f' = 4f = 0.02.***
