Compute the longitudinal tensile strength of an aligned glass fiber-epoxy matrix composite in which the average fiber diameter and length are 0.0155 mm (0.60 × 10-4 in.) and 1.07 mm (0.042 in.), respectively, and the volume fraction of fibers is 0.38. Assume that (1) the fiber-matrix bond strength is 100 MPa (14,500 psi), (2) the fracture strength of the fibers is 3500 MPa (5 × 105 psi), and (3) the matrix stress at composite failure is 5.5 MPa (800 psi).

A liquid mixture contains 60 wt% ethanol, 5 wt% of a dissolved solute, and the balance water. A stream of this mixture is fed to a distillation column operating at steady state. The streams emerging from the column have equal mass flow rates. The top stream contains 90 wt% ethanol with no solute. Solve for all the mass fractions of the bottom stream and solve for the 3 mass flow rates
