Two steels are being considered for manufacture of as- forged connecting rods. one is aisi 4340 cr-mo-ni steel capable of being heat-treated to a tensile strength of 1790 mpa. the other is a plain carbon steel aisi 1040 with an attainable sut of 778 mpa. if each rod is to have a size giving an equivalent diameter de of 19 mm, is there any advantage to using the alloy steel for this fatigue application?

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

Give heat transfer applications for the following, (i) gas turbines (propulsion) ) gas turbines (power generation). (iii) steam turbines. (iv) combined heat and power (chp). (v) automotive engines

Draw the engineering stress-strain curve for (a) bcc; (b) fcc metals and mark important points.
