1. An air standard cycle is executed within a closed piston-cylinder system and consists of three processes as follows:1-2 = constant heat addition from 100 kPa and 27∘C to 700 kPa 2-3 Isothermal expansion until V3 = 7v23-1 P = constant heat rejection to the initial state2. Assume air has constant properties with cv = 0.718 kJ/kg K, cp = 1.005 kJ/kg K, R = 0.287 kJ/kg K, and k = 1.4.(a) Sketch the P- and T-s diagrams for the cycle.(b) Determine the ratio of the compression work to the expansion work (the back work ratio).(c) Determine the cycle thermal efficiency.

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

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?

In general, how do thermosetting plastics compare to thermoplastics in mechanical and physical properties?
