A specimen of a 4340-steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 54.8 MPa sqrt(m) (50 ksi sqrt(in.)) is exposed to a stress of 1030 MPa (150,000 psi). Will this specimen experience fracture if the largest surface crack is 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) long

Carbon dioxide gas expands isotherm a turbine from 1 mpa, 500 k at 200 kpa. assuming the ideal gas model and neglecting the kinetic and potential energies, determine the change in entropy, heat transfer and work for each kilogram of co2.

Manometers are good examples of measuring instruments, nowadays they are not as common as before. a)-capacitive probe gauges b)-gravitational gauges deformation ) gauges d)-digital gauges

Hydraulic fluid with a sg. of 0.78 is flowing through a 1.5 in. i. d. pipe at 58 gal/min. the fluid has an absolute viscosity of 11.8 x 105 lbf-sec/ft2. is the flow laminar, turbulent or within the critical range? give both a numerical reynolds number and a term answer.
