Due to a special consideration for the passage of gas pipes through the steel beams of a bridge, a special pipes was proposed as shown in the accompanying diagram.

a) Determine the plastic section modulus of the section
b) Assuming the yield strength of steel is Fy and the shape factor is 1.2 determine the elastic moment.
S) Explain the philosophy of Limit State Design as regards to elastic and plastic analysis of steel structures.

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise
