A sheet of steel 3.9 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200°C and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. The diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 5.4 × 10-11 m2/s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 2.2 × 10-7 kg/m2-s. Also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 5.3 kg/m3. How far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will...

Q. Unsteady conduction A large steel plate 0.02 m thick leaves a heat treating furnace at 425 oC. And the plate is plunged into water (at 25 oC) and cooled from both sides. How long does it take for the maximum temperature to reach 65 oC? For steel plate: thermal conductivity, k=30 W/m·K, density ?=7600 kg/m3, heat capacity cp=700 J/kg·K. Heat transfer coefficients: h=6000 W/m2·K in water. Please use two methods to calculate this question: (1) Directly apply the exact...

Consider a 20 foot thick saturated clay that has a sand layer above it and an impermeable rock layer below it. The clay layer has an initial effective stress at its midpoint of 3145 lbs/ft2.    Due to the presence of a large water tank on the surface, the stress is increased by 710 lbs/ft2 at the midpoint of the clay layer. How much total settlement from primary consolidation is expected? Provide your answer in inches. Soil properties: Compression index = .324,...

A steel hot-water tank of cylindrical shape has an inside diameter of 0.600 m and inside height of 1.40 m. The tank is enclosed by a 5.00 cm thick insulating layer of glass wool whose thermal conductivity is 0.0350 W / (m·K). The insulation is covered by a thin sheet metal skin. The steel tank and the sheet metal skin have thermal conductivities that are much greater than that of the glass wool. How much electrical power (W) must be...

A structural engineering company has made a large order of A36 steel for a construction project. For quality control purposes, a random sample of 20 steel members are tested to ensure steel has been made to specification. The yield strength of each member is given in the csv file YieldStrengths.csv. Import the data from YieldStrengths.csv into MATLAB using the csvread function. (1 mark) Use MATLAB’s mean and std functions to solve the sample mean and sample standard deviation. Evaluate the...
