A concrete highway is built of slabs 12 m long (at 15◦ C). How wide should the expansion cracks between the slabs be (at 15◦ C) to prevent buckling of the range of temperature is -30◦ C to +50◦ C?

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.

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.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
