The volume fraction of particles in a wc-particle cu-matrix cermet is 0.65 calculate the minimum expected elastic modulus, in gpa, of this particle reinforced composite. the moduli of the two components are 682 gpa and 110 gpa, respectively. use what you know about these composite phases to discern which modulus is which. answer format: x unit: gpa 127.

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
