During the stress relaxation polymers remain under a fixed strain.
Using the definition of the Relaxation Time constant; "a material property that defines the time needed for the instantaneous stress to decrease to 37% the initial stress", explain why the change in the load is greater at the beginning of the two minutes?

The y form of iron is known as: a) ferrite b) cementite c) perlite d) austenite

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

The higher the astm grain-size number, the coarser the grain is. a)-true b)-false
