Engineering Stress And Strain Case Study Answers

Improved Essays
1) What are engineering stress and strain?
Answer:
Engineering Stress:
Engineering stress is also called nominal stress, and it is defined as the applied load divided by the original cross sectional area of the material.
Engineering Strain: Engineering strain is defined as the amount of material that deforms per unit length in a tensile test. Engineering strain is also known as nominal strain.

8) Metals can be extracted from the metal oxide ore by the following methods (1) Reaction of Oxide at High Temperature with Carbon (2) Reaction of Oxide with another Element or by (3) Electrolytic Reduction. Use the Ellingham diagram to illustrate and explain which extraction method is appropriate for which metal.
Answer # 8:

The above graph is plotted between changes in Gibbs free energy for each oxidation reaction vs temperature.
Important features:
1. Lower position of metals in Ellingham diagram, more is the stability of the metals.
2. Metallic oxides in Ellingham diagram are straight lines having slop positive.
3. Metal oxide stability decreases with temperature increases.
4. Huge gap between two lines shows greater effectiveness.
5. High temperature chemical reduction method most widely used.

9) Use the phase diagram of Sugar water shown in class; determine the solubility limit for sugar in water at 80oC. What would happen if that solution is cooled to 40 oC?
Answer # 9:

As shown in above figure at temperature is 800C, then 70 % by wt composition of liquid solution + solid sugar, but when we cool down the temperature up to 400C then 60 % composition by wt % exist, and we come close in the region of liquid solution

Answer# 10
Part B:
Weight fraction of solid (α-phase) @ 12250C = 42 wt %
Weight fraction of liquid = 26 wt %
c) Under conditions in b), what is the composition of the solid? Answer # 10
Part C:
Under above condition the composition of solid is 28 % by wt.
11) In an ionic crystal, name the two criteria on which the packing of ions depends. How does the coordination number around the cation change with the radius ratio of the cation to the anion? How can you use this to predict if the structure of CsCl to be either BCC or FCC and structure of Nacl to be the other?
Answer # 11:
In ionic crystals, packing of ions depends upon electrostatic attraction and lattice energy, which is released in the form of heat, when two ions come close together. According to the Pauling’s rule the allowed size of the cation for a given structure is determined by the critical radius ratio. Cation –anion radius ration is given by following formula: rc/rA. The structure of CsCl and Nacl both are FCC structures. In ionic crystals, the structure is governed by two principles: positive and negative ions must alternate for electrostatic cohesion; and the ions, which have different sizes, must touch so that the structure does not

    The purpose of this lab was to analyze and examine periodic trends of the first 36 elements that are on the periodic table. Trends that were analyzed and examined are the atomic radius (AR) and the first ionization energy (IE) of the 36 elements. The hypothesis for this lab was that the elements that are in the groups that had the highest atomic radius would be in the same groups as those who have the the highest first ionization energy and the groups who have the lowest atomic radius would be in the same groups as those elements who have the lowest first ionization energy. In order for the lab to be completed, a chart that was split into four sections was made to collect all the necessary data that is needed to make the graphs. After the data has been collected, a graph that contains both trends was made on a piece of graph paper. As the results was analyzed, it is discovered that the trends between the the atomic radius and the first ionization energy was that those elements who are on the peaks of the atomic radius graph such as the elements that are in the noble gas family are on the troughs of the first ionization energy…

    Taking the fine powdered cereal and mixing with water, the iron could be extracted because of iron being added to the cereal in elemental form. This is not the most accurate way to collect iron from a sample, but it was mostly successful. The amount of iron collected was poor because of the big percentage of error in this experiment. Using the standards provided in class, a calibration curve could be created to get a general idea of how much iron was in the unknown…

    When this happens the water molecules web together and the water becomes ice. The reason the salt and sugar lowers the freezing point and the water takes longer to freeze is because the salt or sugar molecules interfere with the attraction between the water molecules and therefore interfere with the webbing of the water molecules which prevents the water from turning into ice, when the water temperature lowers even further it eventually reaches a temperature where the water molecules slow down so much that the molecules are able to become a solid even with the presence of salt or sugar.…
