In an undrained triaxial test on a soil specimen the constant cell pressure was 200 kpa. when the piston load was 320 n the length of the specimen was 65 mm. if the original length and diameter of the specimen were 78mm and 38mm respectively, determine at the above piston load:
a) cross-sectional area of the specimen.
b) deviator stress.
c) major principal total stress.
d) maximum shear stress.

Heat is added to a piston-cylinder device filled with 2 kg of air to raise its temperature 400 c from an initial temperature of t1 27 cand pressure of pi 1 mpa. the process is isobaric process. find a)-the final pressure p2 b)-the heat transfer to the air.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

The drive force for diffusion is 7 fick's first law can be used to solve the non-steady state diffusion. a)-true b)-false
